Tropical storm 13S
Now a tropical storm by JTWC, though it hasn't been named Hilwa yet. Probrably will be later today. Ryan1000 10:36, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 10
Now a TD. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 12:30, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Well it is now getting less organized as we speak and it has attained peak intensity. Maybe the JTWC were wrong to take it up to C2? &mdash;12R.KIEWII 19:43, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

May intensify later I would not take it out so fast as it may intensify later.Allanjeffs 23:57, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Some significant change in the forecast. Was meant to weaken into a disturbance and stay that for the whole existence, however, it is now expected to strengthen into a moderate tropical storm, then weaken back into a tropical depression, then strengthen back into a tropical storm with 40 kt. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 11:24, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Disturbance 10
And La Reunion have returned to the previous forecast, and only peaked at 30 kt. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 02:09, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 10 (2nd time)
And we have a TD again, looks like this thing will be going on an intensity roller coaster. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 10:56, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Disturbance 10 (2nd time)
Yes it is..-- Cy10 -- 02:07, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

At one point, TD 10 was forecast to be a hurricane, and now it doesn't look like we'll get anything at all, not at this rate, at least. Fixed the header BTW (it was suposed to be size 4). Ryan1000 05:10, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 10 (3rd time)
Now forecast to become a MTS. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 12:32, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

At least we reach the H letter with this system how many more letter could we have. we will seeAllanjeffs 21:48, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; ">Looks like this one has the potential to become Irina or even Joni. Which ever low develops into a named storm first. By the way, if we get to Joni, we'd probably slow a bit down in activity in March. This season will most likely get to the K or L storm, if more show up. 173.169.56.34 01:01, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; ">By the time it makes landfall, the system will just stay there because of the mountains. The GFS forecasting over 350 mm of rain to fall over central Madagascar. However, a few days later it begins to move into the Mozambique Channel and strengthens quite a bit. It'll then make landfall as a tropical cyclone on Mozambique. Of course this is subject to change. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 08:26, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * At worst, this storm could be a re-Hudah and cause signifigant destruction in both Madagascar and Mozambique, but there is also a chance it could not develop past category 1 or 2. It's very large though, so rainfall could be a problem for the folks in Madagascar and Mozambique from this storm. They're still reeling from Giovanna's destruction, but I don't think this storm (future Irina) will be as strong as Giovanna when it does impact Madagascar. Ryan1000 14:41, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal; ">ECMWF ensemble System and Most of the available deterministic NWP models suggest that 2 lows may form at the end of the week within the ITCZ; one to the North-East of the Mascareignes islands and the other one over the far east of our area of responsibility.

 * I think this will probrably be the last time a storm will be given a hyphenated two-name. At the start of the 2011-12 season, the WMO stated this would be the last year when a storm would reccieve two names crossing from the Australian region to the SWIO. Starting in 2012-13, storms will keep their names when crossing from the Australian region to the SWIO. Still, since this will probrably be the last time we'll see this, we might as well cherish it while it lasts. Ryan1000 18:08, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Pretty cool to see a hyphenated name. Like Ryan said, it's likely to be one of the last to receive one. Also, it's looking pretty nice atm. Yqt1001 00:40, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd be surprised if it doesn't at least become a C1, even though it likely will remain at sea. Ryan1000 03:01, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a fun event! Following a two-name storm. I think Joni will have a C3 peak intensity. Andrew444  Talk  Blog  Contributions  03:48, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * It'll probrably be a pretty strong storm, but at least it won't affect land. It's expected to turn farther south by this Sunday and Monday, so it better get on with it if it wants to become a major cyclone. Ryan1000 09:16, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's starting to power down now, per the latest data from RSMC Reunion, so I think it's time we started saying goodbye to Koji-Joni. It will certainly be a storm i'll never forget. Ryan1000 14:20, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm shocked that the system wasn't upgraded to at least tropical storm status earlier; it was looking rather impressive on satellite. Supportstorm 23:11, March 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * It still has potential.Allanjeffs 01:57, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * How is that > not a tropical storm? I agree, Supportstorm, this should have, if briefly, been upgraded to Koji yesterday. For one reason or another, BOM decided it wasn't worth the trouble since it was going to fall apart soon after that. I strongly believe this was at least briefly a depression, if not Koji. Heed my words, this storm is gonna get upgraded in post-season, to some extent, assuming it won't develop now. Ryan1000 18:30, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
