754 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED 
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL 
CIRCULATION CENTER, WITH FLARING DEEP CONVECTION SHEARED OVER THE 
SOUTHERN QUADRANT. A 120635Z GMI 37GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS A 
WEAKLY DEFINED CENTER, WITH LIMITED WEAK SHALLOW BANDING OVER THE 
SOUTHERN QUADRANT AND EXTENSIVE LINEAR BANDS OF DEEP CONVECTION 
SHEARED OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE. A 120415Z ASCAT-B IMAGE SHOWS A 
BROAD CIRCULATION, WITH PATCHY AREAS OF 25-30 KNOT GRADIENT WINDS 
OVER THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. TC 03S WILL TRACK WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW-LEVEL 
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN FURTHER UNDER HIGH (35-40 
KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND EXTENSIVE DRY AIR. THIS IS THE FINAL 
WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI. 
THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION.
