Tropical Cyclone Dumazile passed between Madagascar and La Reunion on Sunday night.\u00a0 At 10:00 p.m. EST on Sunday the center of Tropical Cyclone Dumazile was located at latitude 20.7\u00b0S and longitude 51.1\u00b0E which put it about 280 miles (450 km) west of St. Denis, La Reunion.\u00a0 Dumazile was moving toward the south-southeast at 11 m.p.h. (17 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 105 m.p.h. (170 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 125 m.p.h. (205 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 961 mb.<\/p>\n
Dumazile is a very well organized tropical cyclone. The circulation is symmetrical and there is a small circular eye at the center of circulation.\u00a0 The eye is surrounded by a ring of strong thunderstorms and the strongest winds are occurring in that ring.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms are revolving around the core of the circulation.\u00a0 Storms in the core are generating strong upper level divergence which is pumping mass away from the tropical cyclone.\u00a0 Winds to hurricane\/typhoon force extended out about 70 miles (110 km) from the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out about 230 miles (370 km) from the center.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Dumazile will move through an environment favorable for intensification for about another 24 hours.\u00a0 Dumazile will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 29\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under an area where the upper level winds are weak and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Tropical Cyclone Dumazile could strengthen into the equivalent of a major hurricane on Monday.\u00a0 When Dumazile moves farther south in a day or so, it will move over cooler water and into an area where the upper level winds are stronger.\u00a0 Cooler water and more vertical wind shear will cause Tropical Cyclone Dumazile to weaken when that happens.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Dumazile has rounded the western end of a subtropical ridge and it is now moving toward the south-southeast.\u00a0 A general southeasterly motion is expected during the next few days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Cyclone Dumazile will move away from Madagascar.\u00a0 Dumazile is forecast to pass southwest of La Reunion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
