You can see the outflow band up to the NE that vented this storm and revved it up.

I need a motion loop, but I would say just east of the India/Bangladesh border for intense landfall. Eastern Sunderbans tiger population should be badly affected. Not to mention a disasterous death toll.
I am having trouble with not having a clear eye. I don't think it is possible to have a high-end intensity cyclone without a clear, sharp eye.
Opal, which peaked at 150 mph and had a minimum central pressure of 916 mb, never even had an eye and its synoptic setup was not terribly different than this one. Satellite estimates proved to be useless during that storm. This storm has been much more symmetrical and its cloud tops have been nothing to scoff at.

Actually, Opal did have an eye. It was a small one but was there.

I got to know frm my mother that It has already started raining in Dhaka and the sky looks very dark over chittagong this morning. Some newspapers are saying that this storm is going to hit the land today at 11am Bangladesh time.
