GFS DATA AT FTPPRD.NCEP.NOAA.GOV/PUB/DATA/NCCF/COM/GFS/PROD/

SPECIAL STATEMENT. AS DETERMINED BY NOAA NESDIS...THE CYCLONE OFF
THE SOUTHERN COAST OF BRASIL IS NOW A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. THE
CYCLONE CENTERS NEAR 30S 48W. WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25KT IN
CLOSED VICINITY TO THIS CYCLONE. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...WHICH
PREVIOUSLY SUSTAINED SUBTROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS...IS RAPIDLY
DECOUPLING FROM THIS SYSTEM AS ANOTHER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS MID
SECTIONS OF SOUTH AMERICA. IN A LULL BETWEEN
PERTURBATIONS...THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT THE SHEAR ALOFT
MIGHT WEAKEN ENOUGH TO ALLOW SOME INTENSIFICATION OF THIS SYSTEM
DURING THE EVENING HOURS. SO CANNOT RULE OUT POSSIBILITY OF THIS
SYSTEM STRENGTHENING TO A TROPICAL STORM AS IT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF
FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. BUT AS THE STEERING FLOW IS
TO REMAIN FROM THE WEST...THIS SYSTEM IS VERY LIKELY TO MEANDER
OFFSHORE DURING THE NEXT 30-36 HRS...THEN WEAKEN TO A REMNANT LOW
THROUGH 48 HRS. THE TIGHT/COMPACT CYCLONE IS LIKELY TO FAVOR
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION ON THE SERRA DO MAR...WITH
ACCUMULATION OF 15-25MM/DAY THROUGH 24-30 HRS. MOST INTENSE
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED OFFSHORE AND IN CLOSE VICINITY TO THE
CYCLONE.

MODEL COMPARISON (VALID FROM 00Z MAR 10). THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE
NOW IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH 96-108 HRS...AS THEY SHOW A STRONG
SURGE ON THE SOUTHERN STREAM (CLIPPER LOW) ENTERING THE SOUTHERN
CONE BY MID CYCLE. THE GFS AND UKMET CORRECTED IN FAVOR OF A
DEEPER SYSTEM...WHILE THE ECMWF NOW FAVORS A FASTER AND
CONSIDERABLY WEAKER PERTURBATION. BUT...THE GLOBAL ENSEMBLES
CONTINUE TO SHOW HIGH VARIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THIS SYSTEM...
SO FURTHER CORRECTIONS ARE EXPECTED.

The mets in Brazil finnally named this system Anita.

RARE SOUTH ATLANTIC TROPICAL STORM DESIGNATED ANITA

The regional weather centers and the private weather enterprises of both Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, southernmost Brazilian states, in a joint decision, named Anita the rare tropical storm of March 9th and 10th in the coastal areas of the region. The name was chosen considering a historic figure of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, both states affected by the tropical cyclone. Anita Garibaldi (1821-1849) was a heroin of the Farroupilha Revolution (1835-1845), one of the most important events in the Brazilian history that took place in the Southern part of the country. Anita was used in the past to designate tropical cyclones in other basins: North Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
