Tropical Update: 24 Mar

#1 Postby senorpepr » Thu Mar 25, 2004 12:12 am

Ahh, the rise and fall of a tropical cyclone. 90S became 21S last night, but today the JTWC has issued its final advisory on 21S. Additionally, 20S received the name Oscar.

:rarrow: A) TC Fay (18S): at 24/1125Z...
Position near 16.3S 121.7E (350nm NNE of Port Hedland, Australia)
Movement is quasi-stationary
Maximum sustained winds are 90 mph
Minimum central pressure is 963 mb
T# numbers: 3.5/4.0

Fay continues to slowly weaken as it remains parked nearby the Australian coast. Expect continued weakening as it approaches the Australian coast near Port Hedland.

:rarrow: B) TC Oscar (20S): at 24/1600Z...
Position near 14.6S 95.3E (175nm SSE of Cocos Islands)
Movement toward the W at 7 mph
Maximum sustained winds are 65 mph
Minimum central pressure is 984 mb
T# numbers: 2.5/3.0

Expect continued strengthening out of Oscar, with a 100 mph cyclone by the end of the forecast period.

:rarrow: C) TD 21-S (21S): at 24/1600Z...
Position near 8.7S 56.1E (825nm NE of Antananarivo, Madagascar)
Maximum sustained winds are 25 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1004 mb

As aforementioned, 21S has received its final advisory from the JTWC. However, redevelopment is possible and this system, regardless of strength, can effect the island of Madagascar.
