THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 20.9N 89.8E

ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY. CENTRAL CONVECTION HAS BEEN 
INTERMITTENT WITH THE LLCC SLOWLY TRACKING TOWARDS THE NORTHERN 
PORTION OF THE BAY OF BENGAL. A 280540Z OSCAT PASS SUPPORTS THE

MODERATE TO STRONG (20 TO 30 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). 
DYNAMIC MODELS INDICATE SLIGHT DEVELOPMENT AS THE SYSTEM 
TRACKS NORTHWARD INTO BANGLADESH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MAXIMUM 
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA 
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. DUE TO LAND 
INTERACTION AND VWS, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A

Monsoon update - 28-May-2013

Up to today morning, the South West Monsoon over Bay is progressing very well.
The LOW "95A" near Oman coast is slightly hindering the Somali jet flow towards the Kerala coast.
Today, the Somali low level jet is very active and pushing N-N-E into central Arabian sea.
As per the latest model analysis, the strong monsoon current is expected to reach Kerala coast on evening of 1-Jun-2013.

Today, 1:30pm, Showers seen all along Kerala, Karnataka coast, Goa. Most of the showers have not pushed into land.

The low intensity showers along Kerala and Karnataka coast is expected to persist till 31-May.
Today's COLA model also predicts the Monsoon to reach Kerala coast with Very heavy rains on evening  / night of 1-Jun-2013.

Update on LOW - "95A" and "94B"

"95A" - Along Central Oman coast in Arabian sea
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11:30am IST, Satellite visible shot shows good T.showers have pushed into central Oman coast.

Latest IMD - GFS predicts that the system along Oman coast is expected to persist for another 4 days, almost in that same position. This is amazing, for a circulation to persist in that same zone for a long period of time.
The system is expected to intensify on 31-May, and it may push fully into Oman on 3-Jun.

If this system intensifies, the Monsoon current reaching Kerala coast may get weakened (or) may not reach as well on 3-Jun.

"94B" - Over N.Bay, just south of Bangladesh coast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12pm IST, Satellite visible shows heavy convective activity over most of N.Bay, pushing into S.Bangladesh.

Latest analysis show that "94B" is a marked LOW pressure system with strong circulation extending from low levels to upper levels.
Pressure is around 1000mb, according to Thailand met.

The "94B" is expected to push N-N-W into S.Bengal in next 24hrs.

By 30-May, the system is expected to push upto Bihar and vanish.

In next 24hrs and till 1-Jun, Heavy and Very heavy rain expected for S,central Bengal, N,N-E.Odisha, S.Bangladesh and over most places in N-E states of India.
In following days 30,31-May, the heavy rain will push into Jharkand and Bihar as well.

The N.Bay circulation is tracked as "94 B" for Depression / Cyclone formation... NOT possible due to close proximity to land.

Present cloud mass over N,N-central, central, W.Bay is due to this "94B".. http://ow.ly/i/2d6Ii 

Another circulation is over Arabian sea near Oman coast... tracked as "95 A" ... http://ow.ly/i/2d6KO 

Here's the latest satellite visible shot of "95A" along Oman coast ... http://ow.ly/i/2d6Mq 

"94B" is good for the Bay and S.Arabian sea wing of Monsoon.. The N.Bay system is expected to persist there for 2 days and intensify.

"94B" is expected to push into S.Bengal and S-W.Bangladesh on 28/29-May ... http://ow.ly/i/2d6RB 

Meanwhile, the "95A" is expected to persist along Oman coast even till 31-May.. with slight intensification ... http://ow.ly/i/2d6U7 

Bay wing of Monsoon is getting a move ahead. By 29 / 30-May, it'll enter in N.Bay along with "94B".
