REMARKS:
Developing tropical low (23U) likely to become a severe tropical cyclone in the
coming days. 

Position based on EIR imagery, displaced to the east of the deep convection
which is consistent with ongoing high easterly wind shear. Low level centre
appears elongated, or there may be multiple centres. Confidence in position is
poor as a result. 

Much earlier ASCAT, at 0116 UTC 8 April, showed 35kn under the deep convection
to the south west of the centre. Intensity remains at 35kn with convection to
southwest persisting and developing to the northwest. 

Dvorak: Shear pattern yields DT of 3.0. MET/PAT 2.5 based on a D- trend.
FT/CI=2.5 based on MET/PAT as with the poor position DT is not clear cut. 

Objective intensity guidance is not yet available. 

 
Forecast track is based on a standard consensus of guidance. Steering is
dominated by a mid-level anti-cyclone to the southeast. Short term fluctuations
may occur in the next 6-12 hours as the low level centre consolidates, but a
general west-southwest to southwesterly motion is expected until Tuesday,
before a turn towards the south on Wednesday. On Thursday, an approaching upper
trough could steer it faster and to the southeast, likely as the system crosses
the coast and moves inland. 

The strong wind shear constraining development is expected to reduce in the
next 6-12 hours. Development is also likely assisted by a Equatorial Rossby
wave moving into the area as well as an upper shortwave trough moderately
increasing outflow to the south. Forecast rate of development is less than
standard initially, increasing to standard rate of development from early
Monday morning. This has 23U reaching category 1 at 0600 UTC today, and a
forecast intensity of category 4 (100 kts) at landfall. Upper outflow could be
favourable to very favourable for a period, particularly during Wednesday, and
some sources of guidance indicate a higher intensity is possible. Ocean
temperatures are at or above 30 degrees celsius along the length of the
forecast track, reaching as high as 32 degrees celsius in the area of forecast
landfall.
