Forecast for the Possible Cyclone Formation -

As mentioned in the previous few weather updates, forecast models continue to indicate the formation of a Strong Low Pressure in the Arabian Sea in the first week of June.
GFS,UKMET models agree formation of a Brief Low pressure ( Might be a Cyclone) in Arabian Sea

The persisting area of convection between 75E-80E,5N-15N and having cloud top temperature of -60C,50-100 mb/hr 850mb Vorticity over a 28-30C SST( Sea Surface Temp) and gripped by a 30kt+ Low level convergence ( LLC) is likely to advance further as the low is expected to intensify in a 30kt divergent outflow aloft. There has been a remarkable improvement in the region of convection is past 24hrs as depicted by the increased favorable thermodynamic states of cyclogenesis as well as the the lower convergence and upper divergence. The Total Precipitable Water ( PW) in the area of convection has also increased upto 60mm as the atmosphere circulates due to the presence of a low pressure area aloft in North Western Arabian Sea.

Wind shears don't look a problem for cyclogenesis.



The LLC shall organize by 3rd June 2011 and shall initially track parallel to Western Coast AND PROVIDING -
