Update: Tropical Cyclone 08S (Funso) South Indian Ocean( Mozambique Channel)
TC 08S IS TRACKING SLOWLY SOUTH- SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) AND IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD AS IT ROUNDS THE STR AND RE-CURVES INTO THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT ENCOUNTERS COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE NEXT 12-24 HOURS AND AS IT ENCOUNTERS INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AFTER TAU 12. NEAR TAU 24, TC 08S IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) AND SHOULD COMPLETE ETT BY TAU 36.

SAWDOS - This will be the final update for Cyclone Funso unless there is re-development or a dramatic path change which is fairly unlikely.
