A) TC Gafilo (16S): At 11/2100Z...
Position near 24.7S 46.9E (320nm S of Antananarivo, Madagascar)
Movement toward the S at 2 mph
Maximum sustained winds are 30 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1002 mb
Gafilo, after at least 36 deaths on the island country of Madagascar, finally has received his last advisory from JTWC. The continued weakening trend has occurred from interaction with land. However, once Gafilo reemerges into the Indian Ocean, expect continued weakening with increased shear associated with a frontal boundary.

B) TC Nicky-Helma (17S): At 12/0300Z...
Position near 19.9S 86.9E (680nm SW of Cocos Islands)
Movement toward the SSW at 7 mph
Maximum sustained winds are 80 mph
Minimum central pressure is 976 mb
T# numbers: 3.0/4.0
The cyclone formally known as Nicky has now being hyphenated with the name Helma. This is due to 17S crossing the 90E line which now put her into La Reunion’s area of responsibility. Regardless, 17S is now being referred to Nicky-Helma. Nicky-Helma saw a little burst of growth today with good outflow. However, expect a weakening trend to arise from increased shear. This will help transition Nicky-Helma into an extratropical cyclone.

C) Invest (98S): At 11/1800Z...
Position near 12.9S 101.6E (280nm E of Cocos Islands)
Maximum sustained winds are 25 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1005 mb
Invest 98S, or the remnants of TC Evan (15P) remains weakly organized. Aloft of 98S is weak divergence and moderate shear which is hindering reorganization. Regardless, the JTWC has given 98S a poor chance at redevelopment.
