Tropical Cyclone Seru weakened as it moved southeast of Vanuatu on Wednesday.\u00a0 At 10:00 a.m. EST on Wednesday the center of Tropical Cyclone Seru was located at latitude 21.1\u00b0S and longitude 170.7\u00b0E which put the center about 260 miles (420 km) south-southeast of Port Vila, Vanuatu.\u00a0 Seru was moving toward the south at 7 m.p.h. (11 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 60 m.p.h. (95 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 75 m.p.h. (120 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 994 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Seru weakened as it moved southeast of Vanuatu on Wednesday.\u00a0 An upper level trough south of New Caledonia produced northwesterly winds that blew to toward the top of Seru’s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds caused moderate vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The wind shear caused the distribution of thunderstorms in Tropical Cyclone Seru to become asymmetrical.\u00a0 Thunderstorms were occurring in bands in the eastern and southern parts of Seru’s circulation.\u00a0 Bands in the northern and western parts of Tropical Cyclone Seru consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.<\/p>\n
The size of the circulation around Tropical Cyclone Seru increased as Seru moved farther south.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 145 miles (235 km) from the center of Seru’s circulation.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Seru will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Seru will move over water where where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 26\u00b0C.\u00a0 The upper level trough south of New Caledonia will continue to cause moderate to strong vertical wind shear over Tropical Cyclone Seru.\u00a0 The combination of cooler water and moderate to strong vertical wind shear will cause Seru to weaken during the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
The upper level trough south of New Caledonia will steer Tropical Cyclone Seru toward the southeast during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Cyclone Seru will move farther away from Vanuatu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
