Tropical Cyclone Kyarr weakened east of Oman on Tuesday.\u00a0 At 11:00 EDT on Tuesday the center of Tropical Cyclone Kyarr was located at latitude 19.5\u00b0N and longitude 62.0\u00b0E which put it about 220 miles (355 km) east-southeast of Masirah Island, Oman.\u00a0 Kyarr was moving toward the west at 6 m.p.h. (10 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 115 m.p.h. (185 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 145 m.p.h. (230 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 954 mb.<\/p>\n
The structure of the circulation around Tropical Cyclone Kyarr exhibited less organization on Tuesday.\u00a0 The southwestern part of the ring of thunderstorms around the eye weakened.\u00a0 In addition, bands of showers and thunderstorms in the western half of Kyarr also weakened.\u00a0 Two factors seemed to be contributing to the weakening trend.\u00a0 Tropical Cyclone Kyarr moved slowly during the last 24 to 36 hours.\u00a0 The circulation mixed cooler water to the upper levels of the Arabian Sea and Kyarr was not able to extract as much energy from the water.\u00a0 The circulation around Tropical Cyclone Kyarr may have pulled drier air from the Arabian peninsula into the western half of the circulation.\u00a0 Even though Kyarr weakened on Tuesday. winds to hurricane\/typhoon force extended out 35 miles (55 km) from the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 130 miles (210 km) from the center.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Kyarr will probably continue to weaken during the next several days.\u00a0 Kyarr will move away from the cooler water it mixed to the surface and it will be in an area where there will not be a lot of vertical wind shear.\u00a0 However, Tropical Cyclone Kyarr is likely to draw more drier air into the circulation.\u00a0 The drier air will make it more difficult for thunderstorms to develop in rainbands around the tropical cyclone.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Kyarr will move south of a ridge of high pressure over southwest Asia.\u00a0 The high is forecast to strengthen during next several days.\u00a0 When the high strengthens it will steer Kyarr toward the southwest.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Cyclone Kyarr will move parallel to the coast of Oman.\u00a0 Kyarr could approach Socotra Island and Somalia in four or five days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
