Since its 09B based on IMD...But I do like the JTWC so it will be for now on 06B.

Very impressive satellite signature. 2Z SSMIS overpass shows a well defined eye (perhaps slightly open on the S side of the storm):

Image

12Z guidance is in fairly good agreement through 48 hours with a WNW turning more northwesterly and northerly by 48 hours. Thereafter, there is divergence with the NOGAPS and ECMWF farthest E and fastest and the GFS farthest W and slowest with the GFDN in between. The UKMET is an outlier showing much slower movement.

The small core of 06B lends itself to quick swings in intensity. There is little doubt given the microwave imagery that we have a cyclone, and likely quickly intensifying one. Potential intensity increases along the forecasted track. CIMSS has diagnosed approximately 10knots of southerly to southeasterly shear over the system. A strong poleward jet will aid intensification in the short term, but there's a strong shear zone to the N of 06B. The GFDN strengths 06B quickly to ~130 knots in 60 hours, but the STIPS only to approximately 60 knots in 60 hours. Given recent trends, the GFDN may be more on track in the short term. This has quite the potential to be a devastating situation for the region in about 3-4 days.

November's usually about the peak of the season. The BoB is most likely to see major storms including Category 5's around this time. (The infamous one in 1970 that killed 500,000 people was 37 years ago tonight).

Of course, we also must go back and remember that this might not be called Yemyin, as that is what the Pakistanis named the last Arabian "deep depression" with a partial eyewall at landfall . . . of course, with politics the way they are I'm sure the Indians could care less, but it will be interesting nonetheless.


As for the JTWC forecast, it's looking pretty good so far. A smidge south of the 12hr forecast position, and it's probably about an hour faster than the forecast.
Granted, the intensity forecast was for 55kts . . . but I think we can all make our own assumptions there.

Well, we now have no doubts regarding Yemyin:

BOB 09/2007/05 Dated: 12 November, 2007

Sub: Cyclonic storm ‘SIDR” over Southeast Bay of Bengal.

The deep depression over southeast Bay of Bengal And adjoining Andaman Sea moved slightly westwards and intensified into a cyclonic storm “SIDR” and lay centered at 0830 hours IST of today, the 12th November 2007 over southeast Bay of Bengal near Lat. 10.5 Deg N and Long. 91.0 Deg E, about 220 Kms southwest of Port Blair. The system is likely to intensify further and move slowly in a northwesterly direction initially.

Under its influence, rain/thundershowers at most places with heavy to very heavy falls at a few places and isolated extremely heavy falls ( 25 cm or more ) are likely over Andaman and Nicobar Islands during next 24 hours.

Squally winds speed reaching 70-80 kmph are likely over Andaman and Nicobar Islands and adjoining sea areas during next 48 hours. Sea condition is high to very high around the system centre. Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea during the next 48 hours.
-------------------------

DEMS-RSMC TROPICAL CYCLONES NEW DELHI DATED 12-11-2007

TROPICAL STORM “SIDR” ADVISORY NO. ONE ISSUED AT 0600 UTC OF 12 NOVEMBER, 2007 BASED ON 0300 UTC OF 12 NOVEMBER 2007 (.)

YESTERDAY’S DEEP DEPRESSION OVER SOUTHEAST BAY OF BENGAL AND ADJOINING ANDAMAN SEA MOVED SLIGHTLY WESTWARDS AND INTENSIFIED INTO A CYCLONIC STORM “SIDR” AND LAY CENTERED AT 0300 UTC OF TODAY, THE 12TH NOVEMBER 2007 OVER SOUTHEAST BAY OF BENGAL NEAR LAT. 10.5 DEG N AND LONG. 91.0 DEG E, ABOUT 220 KMS SOUTHWEST OF PORT BLAIR.

CURRENT INTENSITY T2.5 RPT T2.5 MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WIND SPEED 35-45 KTS. SATELLITE IMAGERIES SHOW INTENSE TO VERY INTENSE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM. ESTIMATED CENTRAL PRESSURE: 1002hPa.

THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO INTENSIFY FURTHER AND MOVE SLOWLY IN A NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION INITIALLY. 24 HOURS FORECAST INTENSITY IS T3.5 RPT T3.5 SEA CONDITION WILL BE HIGH TO VERY HIGH AROUND THE SYSTEM CENTRE.

Haha, well that tells you something . . . IMD decided to operationally skip Yemyin. Should make for an interesting explanation in BT data . . .

Actually, IMD named Yemyin in post-analysis:

On the Wikipedia side of things, we were waiting for official confirmation - that is, the naming of the next system. With Sidr, the dilemma is finally resolved.

Tropical cyclone SIDR
11pm pst/2am est
11-11-2007
forecast 2#
Unoffical


...Tropical cyclone 06B is upgraded to tropical cyclone Sidr, the latest satelite shows a system that is strengthening at a fast rate.

Based on latest satellites of our tropical cyclone, it has strengthen since the last forecast discussion. Latest 85h satellite images from NRL, shows a soild eye wall. Which appears better fit to system of 70-80 knots at this time. Also outflow out of all quads look good to perfect, in fact over the next 24 hours, the overall outflow can only get better as shear to the north helps to enhances the outflow channel. The latest visible shows a nice eye pocking out, which also supports the 70-80 knots talked about above. Quickscat shows a few areas of 50-60 knots. This is slightly old. So current winds are being set at 70 knots with pressure est at near 975-978 millibars. The TCHP can support upwards of cat3 and maybe cat4 like cyclones. So it is not out of the picture that our system could explode into a fairly strong system. In fact we are forecasting that our system will be near 90-95 knots by 24 hours with this forecast, so a slight move forward in time frame. Also at 36 hours this system could be 100-105 knots. Based on some Gfdl models forecasting much higher then this, it is not out of possible it could be much stronger.

Based on satellite images a weakness is forming to the north of system, as a frontal system moves by near 30 north. The winds at 500-700 millibars is very strong over the northern Indian ocean of upwards of 50-60 knots. Overall enviroment should improve as the system heads northward or northwestward over the next 36 hours.


forecast
0 70 knots 10.6/90.5
6 75 knots 10.9/90.2
12 85 knots 11.4/89.8
24 90 knots 11.9/89.4
36 100 knots 12.7/88.7

Next forecast will be issued tomarrow afternoon.

For those who have IDV - do you know of good satellite resources for the Indian Ocean? TIA.

It's interesting that the winds are so low, yet it still has an eye, though the Met Centres over there generally lag a little bit behind the storms. The eye is definitely a nice feature, and the forecast track looks at least a bit scary.

We're dealing with a very serious system.
