REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Mangga remains a weak system. An ASCAT pass at 0252Z showed a
large area of weak winds near the system centre, which remains elongated, and a
band of near gales in the northeast quadrant. Gales are expected to redevelop
when the convection reinvigorates.
The position confidence is fair and is based on the ASCAT pass and animated VIS
imagery, and is consistent with previous track forecasts.
This system has not been amenable to Dvorak analysis and is not likely to
develop into a classical tropical cyclone pattern by Dvorak standards,
CIMSS shear analysis indicates shear has decreased to around 7-8 knots, which is
consistent with the appearance on satellite. Ocean heat content is high and the
convection is being assisted by strong upper level poleward outflow and an
equatorial westerly wind burst at low levels. There is a window of opportunity
for some limited development in the next 12-18 hours as the circulation moves
through the area of lower wind shear. Thereafter it will experience higher shear
and lower ocean heat content that will limit the potential for barotropic
intensification.
During Saturday the circulation will increasingly feel the effects of an
approaching upper level trough to the southwest. Following some initial
weakening, the circulation is likely to be transformed into a non-tropical
[baroclinic] system as it interacts with a cold front to become a complex
weather system along the west coast of Western Australia.
