Madi has moved North in a fast pace, may weaken over sea in next 48hrs

2:30pm, ADT analysis, Madi has moved rapidly in North direction and intensified during past 6hrs.
Position 13.39N , 84.08E
Pressure 989mb
Cyclone Madi is nearing the latitude where Cyclone Lehar lost its life.
Around 14N the V.Wind shear is high .. http://ow.ly/i/3XuFN 

DRY air from N,N-W India is slowly encircling Cyclone Madi as of 11:30am analysis ... http://ow.ly/i/3XuIh 
DRY air, Wind shear is expected to affect the Cyclone Madi's further intensification... in fact models expect the system to weaken in 36hrs

As of 3pm visible shot, Madi looks in good shape with good convective activity along core of system ... http://ow.ly/i/3XuNi 

Going by model suggestions, 2 options for Madi,
1. Fizzle out around 14N, 85E
2. Weaken, then move S-W towards TN coast on/after Tuesday.
GFS continues to forecast a Northerly movement for 36hrs, then weaken and make a rapid S-W recurve towards central Tamilnadu coast on 11-Dec
