2.B LONGER-RANGE OUTLOOK:
NIL
2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
DURING THE LAST 6 HOURS, THE APPARENT EYE CONFIGURATION AT 1800Z HAS
PROGRESSIVELY DISORGANIZED AND LIKELY UNDER INCREASING SHEAR
CONDITIONS THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME EXPOSED AT 0000Z
(VISIBLE ON THE CLASSIC SATELLITE IMAGE). IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY OTHER
DATA (MICROWAVES, ASCAT ...), THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM IS REVISED
SLIGHTLY DOWNWARDS WITH MAXIMUM WINDS OF 45KT. THE SYSTEM HAS
CONTINUED ITS TRACK TOWARDS THE SOUTH-WEST AND IS A LITTLE LESS THAN
100KM FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN COAST.
THE ISSA SYSTEM HAS PASSED ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF AN UPPER TO MID
LEVELS TROUGH AND IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ITS NORTHEASTWARD TURN IN THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. BEYOND THE NEXT 24 HOURS, THE SYSTEM WILL THEN
GRADUALLY EVACUATE TO THE SOUTHEAST AHEAD OF A NEW TROUGH.
ISSA IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A DEEP LAYERS SHEAR THAT HAS
EXPOSED ITS CENTER. IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS, COMBINED WITH AN INTRUSION
OF DRY AIR, THE INTENSITY AND ORGANIZATION OF ISSA SHOULD RAPIDLY
DECREASE. THE SUBTROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FILL UP WITHIN THE NEXT 36
TO 48 HOURS.
IMPACTS ON INHABITED LANDS (SOUTH AFRICA) :
- HEAVY LOCAL RAIN STILL POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT 12 HOURS ON THE
SOUTHEAST COAST OF SOUTH AFRICA ALREADY AFFECTED BY HEAVY
ACCUMULATIONS BEFORE A PROGRESSIVE IMPROVEMENT.
- GUSTS UP TO 60-80 KM/H ON THE COASTS, LOCALLY 80-100 KM/H IN THE
NEAR COASTAL AREAS BEFORE DECREASING IN THE NEXT 12-18 HOURS.
- SEA VERY ROUGH OFFSHORE, DECREASING GRADUALLY.=
