MFR今晚热带天气讨论中继续提及Ashley
The basin currently display a classic winter pattern with the presence of trans-equatorial trade
winds, west of 63°E. At present, there is almost no convective activity over the entire basin.
We notice the presence of the dissipating low ASHLEY, centered around 21.5S / 69.1E at 09 UTC,
which presents average mean speed wind of about 25kt in the southwest semicircle of the low-level
clockwise circulation, according to the 0419Z ASCAT swath. The estimated central pressure is 1010
hPa at 09 UTC. In the short term, the remains of ASHLEY will evacuate at the beginning of the
weekend towards the mid-latitudes, in front of a low level trough, and thus should not concern
directly the Mascarene archipelago.
At the end of the weekend, the basin pattern could evolve progressively into a Near Equatorial
Trough (NET), due to a strengthening of the surface winds near the equator, thanks to the
circulation of a Rossby equatorial wave, crossed with a Kelvin wave and the emergence of a new
MJO phase. This dynamic pattern, should reinforce the low-level vorticity over the east of this TPE
and thus give rise to a new surface precursor for a possible future cyclogenesis phase.
Over the next five days, low level surface environmental conditions should remain good. However,
it will be necessary to count on a moderate or even strong Eastward upper shear, present on the
northern edge of the near equatorial ridge in the middle and upper troposphere.
The main guidelines do not suggest any significant deepening until next Wednesday. The European
and American deterministic models suggest at most strong breeze force 6 (25kt) by gradient effect
in the southern semicircle of the system. The European Ensemble model (EPS) suggest a low
probability of deepening from next Tuesday, and the American one present a significant dispersion
of the ensemble members pressure centers digging over the extreme Northeast of the basin.
Thus for the next five days, the risk of formation of a tropical storm is very low from tuesday
on the extreme North-Est of the basin.
