In this image, Tropical Cyclone Zoe was located near 13.0S and 169.9E. The cyclone is now moving southeast at about 5 knots and is slowly weakening in intensity. Maximum 10-minute average winds near the centre are estimated at 110 knots.
Zoe has weakened further over the last 6 hours. The eye continues to contract and is begining to become cloud filled. The cyclone is expected to turn more south-southeast as it is influenced by a mid-level subtropical ridge to the southwest.
