Tropical Cyclone Batsirai
The disturbance over the central South Indian Ocean has rapidly intensified into Tropical Cyclone Batsirai with max winds to 90 kts. Batsirai is moving WSW at 25 knots and recent satellite images suggest weakening is now occurring. Batsirai is forecast to continue weakening over the next 24-36 hours and also decrease in forward speed. Some re-intensification is possible after about 48 hours, however, the track becomes uncertain as it approaches La Reunion.
