Tropical Cyclone Gombe, currently located over the northern portion of Madagascar has been moving westward at about 10 knots with max winds of around 30 knots.
Gombe will move out over the Mozambique Channel during the next 12-18 hours, then favorable conditions will allow for the system to strengthen fairly rapidly to hurricane force winds prior to landfall over Mozambique south of Nacala about 1800 UTC on the 11th.
