Whilst the most likely scenario is for the system to remain a tropical low with gales in the southeast and southwest quadrants, there remains a slight risk that the system may develop into a tropical cyclone around 00 UTC 6 March. During 6 March and particularly 7 March, shear is forecast to increase significantly causing the system to weaken.
The system is likely to pass into La Reunion's area of responsibility between 00 and 06 UTC 6 March.
