(INDICATIVE FIGURE).

GALE WARNING
BEGINNING OF VALIDITY: SATURDAY  26/03/2005 AT 0600 UTC.

PHENOMENON:        MODERATE TROPICAL STORM 16 (HENNIE) 986 HPA

MOVEMENT:          SOUTH-EAST 4 KT

THREAT AREAS:
SQUALLY WEATHER EXISTS WITHIN 80 NM RADIUS OF THE CENTRE, EXTENDING
UP TO
 450 NM OF THE CENTRE IN THE EASTERN SECTOR.

GALE FORCE WINDS 35/45KT AND VERY ROUGH TO HIGH SEAS WITHIN 30 NM
RADIUS
OF THE CENTRE, EXTENDING UP TO 150 NM IN THE SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT.
NEAR GALE FORCE WINDS 30 KT AND ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS WITHIN 50 NM
RADIUS OF THE CENTRE, EXTENDING UP TO 200 NM IN THE SOUTHEASTERN
QUADRANT
.
STRONG GUSTS UNDER SQUALLS.

FORECAST POSITION AND INTENSITY:
12H, VALID 2005/03/26 AT 18 UTC:

OTHER INFORMATIONS:
HENNIE SHOULD GENERALLY TRACK SOUTHWARDS, TOWARDS A LESS FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT.
NEVERTHELESS, WINDS REMAIN STRONG FAR FROM THE CENTER, MAINLY IN THE
SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT DUE TO THE GRADIENT WITH THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH
PRESSURES.
SQUALLY WEATHER IS MAINLY LOCATED EAST OF THE SYSTEM.=

REMARKS:
260900Z7 POSITION NEAR 23.8S3 61.4E1.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 24S (HENNIE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
300 NM SOUTHEAST OF MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD
AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE pAST 06 HOURS. RECENT MICROWAVE
IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE UPPER LEVEL CONVECTION IS
BECOMNG DECOUPLED TO THE SOUTHEAST FROM THE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER. ELONGATION OF THE CLOUD PATTERN AND
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER INDICATES THAT TC 24S CON-
TINUES EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 260600Z4 IS 21 FEET. NEXT WARNING AT 262100Z1.//
