Tropical Cyclone Vernon has formed over the South Indian Ocean southwest of Cocos Islands and was moving west-southwest at 8 knots with max winds of 45 knots. Vernon is expected to reach hurricane strength later today.
There is also another disturbance about 300 nm to the northwest and the two systems may interact and may begin a Fuiwara loop around each other over the next couple of days.
Eventually, Vernon should turn southward.
