12S(ELOISE) made landfall apprx 50km south of Antalaha, forecast to re-intensify significantly once over the MOZ Channel


THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE USING LOW-CLOUD TRACING IN
THE EIR LOOP AND TRIANGULATION FROM COASTAL WIND OBSERVATIONS,
INCLUDING ANTALAHA. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 45KNOTS IS EXTRAPOLATED
FROM DVORAK ESTIMATES PRIOR TO LANDFALL AND DEDUCED FROM INLAND SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE OBSERVATIONS. 12S(ELOISE) WILL TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD
ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR) TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST, DRAG ACROSS THE
ISLAND, THEN EXIT INTO THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL IN APPRX 36H, AND BY
96H WILL MAKE LANDFALL INTO SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE NORTH OF MAXIXE.
THE RUGGED MADAGASCAR TERRAIN WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM TO 30KTS BY
24H4; HOWEVER, AFTER IT EXITS INTO THE WARM MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL, IT
WILL GRADUALLY RE-INTENSIFY TO 80KNOTS/CATEGORY 1 US BEFORE LANDFALL. BY 120H,
LAND INTERACTION WILL REDUCE IT TO 60KNOTS.


WARNING 6. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE USING LOW-CLOUD TRACING IN THE EIR LOOP AND TRIANGULATION FROM COASTAL WIND OBSERVATIONS, INCLUDING ANTALAHA.

NUMERICAL MODELS REMAIN IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. AT 120H, A STRAND OF MODELS INCLUDING AFUM, UEMN, AND AVNO DEFLECT THE VORTEX SOUTHEASTWARD BACK INTO THE CHANNEL, AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO. THE JTWC TRACK IS A BIT FURTHER INLAND AT THE TERMINATION POINT TO OFFSET THIS UNLIKELY DEFLECTION.
