Tropical Cyclone Tej Satellite Image
Tropical Cyclone Tej has deepened rapidly (65 kts in 24 hrs) over the Arabian Sea SSE of Salalah, Oman and is moving NW at 11 kts with max winds to 105 kts and significant wave heights to 11 meters (36 feet). Tej is a very small cyclone with hurricane force winds limited to about 10 nm from the center. Tej is forecast to reach a peak intensity of 130-140 kts in about 24 hours but entrainment of dry air thereafter will likely weaken the system to 70-80 kts at landfall about 0000 UTC on the 24th.
