On Nov. 9, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center or JTWC noted that animated multispectral satellite imagery showed that Alcide has lost much of its deep convection (rising air that forms the thunderstorms that make up a tropical cyclone) but maintained its spiral banding, and convection is newly flaring over the low level circulation center.
On Nov. 9 at 10 a.m. EST (1500 UTC), Alcide's maximum sustained winds had dropped to 80 mph (70 knots/129.6 kph). It was located approximately 487 nautical miles north-northwest of Port Louis, Mauritius. Alcide is moving southward at 1.1 mph (1 knot1.8 kph) and is expected to curve to the northwest.
