With sustained winds of 104 mph (166 km/hr), Tropical Cyclone Ami has tracked southward at 14 mph (22 km/hr) and is now located approximately 98 miles (157 km) northeast of Suva, Fiji. The system is still expected to begin undergoing extratropical transition in the 12 to 24 hour time period as it interacts with a developing mid-latitude low near New Zealand.
This true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Ami was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra satellite.
