Tropical Cyclone MEKUNU will pass just east of Socotra moving Northwards
to the Yemen-Oman border.
Winds now at 55 kts are expected to intensify tomorrow (Thu) to a hurricane-equivalent strength and on Friday will reach a peak of 85 kts (gusts 110 kts).

On Friday morning, Yemen and Oman must expect heavy rain and very strong winds.
MEKUNU will weaken after landfall.

Same run but different models !!!
Take a look at model's name at the lower-left of the image.
NEMS for rain, GFS for wind.

Interesting, but what is strange is a different location if you choose Wind or Pressure/Rain parameter !! These maps from Meteoblue are issued from the same run 22-05 at 00UTC

According to the following image I fund here

APxx must be ensemble members of GEFS model (GEFS has 20 members)

I was preparing the same double map, but you are faster!
Your way to show the track is very smart.
