New tropical system is forming near La Reunion Islands. According to latest JTWC report, Tropical cyclone  13S was located approximately 590 nm northeast of La Reunion, and is moving west-southwestward at 11 knots. Animated multispectral satellite imagery reveals a partially exposed low-level circulation center with flaring deep convection sheared to the north. Tc 13S remains in a marginal environment with moderate vertical wind shear  which is being offset by good poleward outflow into an upper-level low.   TC 13s is forecast to track westward under the steering influence of the deep subtropical ridge through the next three days, but will then turn poleward along the western periphery of...
