92B - Now a Depression and Cyclone formation alert issued


Analysis at 2pm, suggests that yesterday's LOW pressure system over E,E-central Bay 92B has deepened further and now it's a Depression.
Pressure around 1000mb.
The system is almost stagnant and located over E Bay near to North Andaman Islands.
Yesterday's low-level circulation over S,S-S-E Arabian sea persists, both the systems are making way for good cross equatorial winds and pushing Monsoon into S,central Maldives island group.

1pm, JTWC has issued a Cyclone formation alert.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 14.8N 
91.5E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 16.1N 91.4E, APPROXIMATELY 375 NM SOUTH 
OF CHITTAGONG, BANGLADESH. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY 
DEPICTS IMPROVED DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING ASSOCIATED WITH A 
CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 210454Z METOP-B 
MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS AN ORGANIZING SYSTEM WITH THE BULK OF THE 
DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY WRAPPING INTO THE LLCC. 
A 210357Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS AN ELONGATED CIRCULATION WITH 35 TO 40 
KNOT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT WITH WEAKER WINDS (15 TO 20 
KNOT) OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATES IN 
THE AREA ARE CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS 
INDICATES THE DISTURBANCE IS LOCATED IN AN AREA OF MODERARE VERTICAL 
WIND SHEAR (20 KNOTS) OFFSET BY GOOD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED 
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL 
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. DUE TO INCREASED 
CONSOLIDATION OF THE LOW-LEVEL SIGNATURE AND IMPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL 
CONDITIONS, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT 
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
