WTIO21 PGTW 271200
MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVPACMETOCCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC//
SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 271151ZNOV2005//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
120 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 11.1N 93.4E TO 11.9N 89.4E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 30 TO 35 KNOTS. METSAT IM­
AGERY AT 270530Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 11.1N 93.3E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: AN AREA OF CONVECTION NEAR 11.1N 93.3E, APPROXIMATELY
450 NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF BANGKOK, THAILAND, HAS PERSISTED OVER THE
LAST 12 HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE
THAT DEEP CONVECTION IS WRAPPING INTO A WELL DEFINED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT THE
AREA IS UNDER LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, INCREASING 850
MB VORTICITY AND FAVORABLE WESTWARD AND POLEWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 30 TO 35 KNOTS. MINIMUM
SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 1000 MB. DUE TO THE INCREASED
ORGANIZATION OF THE SYSTEM, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
281200Z.//

Looking good. Could we get Baaz out of this?

We'll see if the name Baaz is used for this system. The IMD, which has the official ruling for this region, did not upgrade an October cyclone, which would mean Baaz would be the next name. However, that same October cyclone was upgraded by Pakistan's Met Center to Baaz. If it is considered that 04B was Baaz, this would make the next available name "Fanoos".

Really? I thought that wasn't possible? :?:

Nothing on the IMD's webpage yet.

Good point, I forgot about that. We'll see indeed.

Yeah, it looks like Pakistan overstepped their boundaries. It's all up to IMD now... will their maintain the official word and have 05B become Baaz or will they go with Pakistan for the sake of a lack of confusion.

I guess the Bay Of Bengal has an off-season as well when the sun moves to the antipodes.


There haven't been any Bay Of Bengal super cyclones lately like the ones that killed 100,000's in the early 1970's.

I'd make a joke about the cricket here with England currently involved in a test series with Pakistan but I doubt anyone would get it. :lol:

At least when they are unofficially named in the Philippines they give them different names.

NRL has the system already with 35 knots, so it's a tropical storm.

Not a deep depression yet so lower than 28kts.

----

No. BOB/11/2005/ 01 Dated 28nd November, 2005

Subject: Depression in the southeast Bay of Bengal

A depression has formed over south east Bay of Bengal and lay centered at 0830 IST of 28 November, 2005 near Lat. 10.50 N and Long. 19.00 E about 1150 Km east-southeast of Chennai. The system is likely to intensify further and move in a west-northwesterly direction.

The numerical weather prediction products suggests that this system is likely to move towards north Tamil Nadu - South Andhra Pradesh Coast during next 2-3 days.

Under its influence fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavyfall is likely over Bay Islands during 24 hrs . Strong winds with speed reaching 45-55 Kmph also likely along and off Bay Islands during the same period.

State of the sea near Bay Islands will be rough to very rough. Fishermen in these areas are advised not to venture into the sea.

Should not affect shipping routes much unless wave heights double.

wonder if the system will make landfall as predicted...
most systems in the bay have a tendency to go northwards when it nears the coast :roll:
