Tropical Cyclone Indusa weakened on Sunday as it moved quickly toward the southeast over the South Indian Ocean.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Cyclone Indusa was located at latitude 32.9\u00b0S and longitude 73.8\u00b0E which put the center about 1125 miles (1815 km) south-southeast of Port Mathurin, Rodrigues.\u00a0 Indusa was moving toward the southeast at 24 m.p.h. (39 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 995 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Indusa weakened on Sunday as it move over cooler water.\u00a0 In addition, an upper level trough that was southeast of Madagascar produced strong northwesterly winds that blew across the top of Indusa’s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds caused strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The effects of the cooler water and strong vertical wind shear caused Tropical Cyclone Indusa to weaken.<\/p>\n
The strong northwesterly winds in the upper levels of the atmosphere blew the top half of Tropical Cyclone Indusa to the southeast of Indusa’s low level circulation.\u00a0 Bands around the low level center of Indusa’s circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Since the low level circulation did not generate upper level divergence, the surface pressure increased on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Winds to tropical storm force extended out 105 miles (165 km) from the center of Tropical Cyclone Indusa.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Indusa will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Indusa will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 22\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will continue to be under the eastern part of the upper level trough that is southeast of Madagascar.\u00a0 The upper level trough will continue to produce strong northwesterly winds that will blow across the top of Indusa\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will continue to cause strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Cooler Sea Surface Temperatures and strong vertical wind shear will cause Tropical Cyclone Indusa to continue to weaken on Monday.\u00a0 The cooler water and strong vertical wind shear will cause Indusa to make a transition to an extratropical cyclone.<\/p>\n
The upper level trough that is southeast of Madagascar will steer Tropical Cyclone Indusa toward the southeast during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Cyclone Indusa will continue to move quickly farther away from Rodrigues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
