| Description |
NASA image acquired January 16, 2011 NASA's Terra satellite captured a visible image of a weakening Tropical Storm Zelia heading for New Zealand on January 16 at 7 p.m. EST. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument captured the image from its perch aboard the Terra satellite. The image showed a strong storm with a visible eye which fizzled quickly as a result of wind shear. On Monday, January 17 at 10am EST (1500 UTC) Tropical Storm Zelia still had maximum sustained winds near 62 mph and was moving southeast toward New Zealand. At that time, it was centered about 495 nautical miles north-northwest of Auckland, New Zealand near 31.4 South and 170.3 East. It was still a tropical cyclone despite cooler water temperatures. The New Zealand Meteorological Service noted on Monday, January 17 that Tropical Cyclone Zelia was northwest of Norfolk island and moving toward New Zealand. Zelia quickly weakened and became a remnant low, raining on northern New Zealand Tuesday afternoon and evening (local time).
