Re: BOB : INVEST 96B
BOB 05/2009/01 Dated: 10. 12. 2009
Time of issue: 1730 hours IST
Sub: Depression over southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal
Latest satellite imagery indicates that a depression has formed over southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal and lay centred at 1430 hours IST of today, the 10th December 2009 near lat. 6.50 N and long. 85.00 E, about 400 km east-southeast of Batticaloa (Sri Lanka), 750 km southeast of Nagapattinam and 900 km southeast of Chennai. The system is likely to intensify into a deep depression and move in a west-northwesterly direction towards east coast of Sri Lanka during next 48 hours.
Under its influence, rainfall at many places with isolated heavy to very heavy falls is likely to commence over coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry from 12th December 2009. Increase in rainfall activities with scattered heavy to very heavy falls and isolated extremely heavy falls is likely over south coastal Tamil Nadu from 13th December 2009 onwards.
Squally winds speed reaching 45-55 kmph gusting to 65 kmph are likely to commence along and off Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts from tomorrow, the 11th December 2009. Sea condition will be rough to very rough along and off these coasts. Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea along and off these coasts.
Next bulletin will be issued at 2030 hrs IST of today, the 10th December 2009

Re: BOB : INVEST 96B
Now a Depression.
DEMS–RSMC TROPICAL CYCLONES NEW DELHI 10-12-2009
Tropical weather outlook for north Indian ocean (The bay of Bengal and Arabian sea) valid for next 24 hours issued at 2100 utc OF 10 DECEMBER, 2009 based on 1800 UTC of 10 DECEMBER, 2009 (.)
THE DEPRESSION OVER SOUTHWEST AND ADJOINING SOUTHEAST BAY OF BENGAL REMAINED PRACTICALLY STATIONARY AND LAY CENTRED AT 1800 UTC OF TODAY, THE 10TH DECEMBER 2009 NEAR LAT. 6.50 N AND LONG. 85.00 E, ABOUT 400 KM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF BATTICALOA (43436), 750 KM SOUTHEAST OF NAGAPATTINAM (43347) AND 900 KM SOUTHEAST OF CHENNAI (43278). THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO INTENSIFY INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION AND MOVE IN A WEST-NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION TOWARDS EAST COAST OF SRI LANKA DURING NEXT 48 HOURS.
SATELLITE IMAGeRY INDICATES CONTINOUS ORGANIsATION OF CONVECTION DURING PAST THREE HOURS. THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM IS T1.5. THERE ARE TWO CONVECTIVE BANDS TO THE EAST AND WEST OF SYSTEM. BROKEN INTENSE TO VERY INTENSE CONVECTION OBSERVED OVER AREA BETWEEN LAT. 2.50 N TO 11.50 N AND LONG. 81.00 TO 89.50 E AND ADJOINING SRILANKA. THE LOWEST CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURE (CTT) DUE TO CONVECTION IS AROUND -750C.
sustained maximum SURFACE wind speed is estimated to be about 25 KNOTS. the state of the sea is rough to VERY rough around the system centre. the estimated CENTRAL pressure is about 1003 hpa.
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OF HORIZONTAL WIND OVER THE REGION IS LOW TO MODERATE (10-20 KNOTS). THE SYSTEM LIES TO THE SOUTH OF TROPOSPHERIC RIDGE, WHICH ROUGHLY RUNS ALONG 80N. SEA SURFACE TEMPRATURES ARE ALSO FAVOURABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION AS IT IS 280-300 C OVER THE REGION. THE RELATIVE VORTICITY AT 850 HPA LEVEL AND UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ARE ALSO FAVOURABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION AS THEY HAVE INCREASED IN LAST THREE HOURS. CONSIDERING ALL THE ABOVE, THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO INTENSIFY INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION AND MOVE IN A WEST-NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION TOWARDS EAST COAST OF SRI LANKA DURING NEXT 48 HOURS.

BOB 05/2009/04 Dated: 11. 12. 2009
Time of issue: 0800 hours IST
Sub: Deep depression over southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal
The depression over southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal moved northwestwards, intensified into a deep depression and lay centred at 0530 hours IST of today, the 11th December 2009 near lat. 7.00 N and long. 84.50 E, about 350 km east-southeast of Batticaloa (Sri Lanka), 650 km southeast of Nagapattinam and 800 km southeast of Chennai. The system is likely to intensify further and move in a west-northwesterly direction. The system is likely to cross Sri Lanka coast between lat. 8.50 N and 9.50 N by evening of tomorrow, the 12th December, 2009.
Under its influence, rainfall at many places with isolated heavy to very heavy falls is likely to commence over coastal Tamilnadu and Puducherry from tomorrow, the 12th December 2009 morning. Subsequently, increase in rainfall activities with scattered heavy to very heavy falls and isolated extremely heavy falls is likely over south coastal Tamilnadu from 13th December 2009 morning onwards.
Squally winds speed reaching 55-65 kmph gusting to 75 kmph are likely to commence along and off Tamilnadu and Puducherry coasts from tomorrow, the 12th December 2009 morning. Sea condition will be very rough to high along and off these coasts. Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea along and off these coasts.
Next bulletin will be issued at 1130 hrs IST of today, the 11th December 2009
Based on latest analysis with Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and other conventional techniques, estimated track and intensity of the system are given in the Table below:

Re: BOB : DEPRESSION (96B)
Upgraded to Cyclonic Storm Ward.
BOB 05/2009/07 Dated: 11. 12. 2009
Time of issue: 1730 hours IST
Sub: Cyclonic storm ‘WARD’ over the southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal: Cyclone alert for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coast: Yellow Message
The deep depression over southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal moved further northwards, intensified into a cyclonic storm, WARD and lay centred at 1430 hours IST of today, the 11th December 2009 near lat. 8.50 N and long. 84.50 E, about 300 km east-northeast of Batticaloa (Sri Lanka), 550 km southeast of Nagapattinam and 700 km south-southeast of Chennai. The system is likely to move in a northwesterly direction towards Tamil Nadu coast during next 48 hours.
However, satellite derived steering wind in upper troposphere suggests the possibility of northerly/ northeasterly movement of the system. Considering all the above, the system is under watch.
Based on latest analysis with Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and other conventional techniques, estimated track and intensity of the system are given in the Table below:
Date/Time(IST)
Position (lat. 0N/long. 0E)
Sustained maximum surface wind speed (kmph)
11-12-.2009/1430
8.5/84.5

11-12-2009/1730
8.5/84.5

11-12-2009/2330
9.0/84.0

12-12-2009/1130
10.0/83.0
65-75 gusting to 85
12-12-2009/2330
10.5/82.0
65-75 gusting to 85
13-12-2009/1130
11.0/81.0
65-75 gusting to 85
13-12-2009/2330
11.0/80.0
65-75 gusting to 85
14-12-2009/1130
11.0/79.0
45-55 gusting to 65
Under its influence, rainfall at many places with isolated heavy to very heavy falls is likely to commence over coastal Tamilnadu and Puducherry from tomorrow, the 12th December 2009 morning. Subsequently, increase in rainfall activities with scattered heavy to very heavy falls and isolated extremely heavy falls is likely over south coastal Tamilnadu from 12th December 2009 evening onwards.
Squally winds speed reaching 55-65 kmph gusting to 75 kmph are likely to commence along and off Tamilnadu and Puducherry coasts from tomorrow, the 12th December 2009 morning. Sea condition will be very rough to high along and off these coasts. Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea along and off these coasts.
Next bulletin will be issued at 2030 hrs IST of today, the 11th December 2009
