Synoptic Situation and Outlook for next 4 Days...8th May - 11th May


Low BB-1, now formed as a weak Low, is off the SE coast of Sri Lanka, and is situated at 6N and 87E as on Tuesday evening.
Now, this is expected to deepen, to 999 mb, and reach depression strength by the 10th/11th. However, BB-1 will not travel much in the next 3 days, and develop further almost in a stationary position till 10th.
After the 11th, it is likely to track North initially and then curve slightly towrads the N/NE.
SWM moves into the South Andaman Seas, after 12th, as soon as BB-1 starts tracking...

"91B" and "92B" - Two circulations !!

According to NRL,
"91 B" is now located over 7.4 N , 74.3 E.
"92 B" is Fresh and located over 5.5 N , 87.9 E

Latest analysis show that the circulation is elongated in nature from East (S,S-E Bay) to West (Gulf mannar, S-E corner Arabian sea).

8pm, Satellite IR shows TWO circulations and its cloud activities...




Latest COLA model suggests a Depression over S. Bay on 10-May, and expects the system to move N-W after that.

IMD GFS model suggests almost the same, but after that it expects the system to move North into Bay.

All together a different track is projected by NOGAPS model. A depression is expected to form just S-E of Srilanka on 10-May and drift into Srilanka and then into Gulf Mannar in subsequent days. This is highly unlikely.


7pm, Going by the latest Satellite shot, still the Bay circulation is elongated in nature from East (S,S-E Bay) to West (Gulf Mannar)

"91B" - Disorganized now ! Will it become a Cyclone over Bay ?

Today morning analysis show that yesterday's circulation over S,S-W Bay is still elongated from East (S,S-E Bay) to West (Gulf Mannar).
In next 24 or 36 hrs, the circulation is expected to consolidate along S,S-W Bay near S-E Srilanka (based on COLA and IMD models).

At 5:30pm, the system is tracked at location 4.6 N , 77.7 E.

Both COLA and IMD GFS models suggests that the circulation will get organized over S,S-W Bay on 7-May and predicts that it'll develop into a Cyclone on 10-May, pretty much over the same location.

Latest NOGAPS model also predicts similar to COLA model... After 10 / 11-May, the Cyclone is expected to move N-N-W into Bay.

NOGAPS predicts the Cyclone to make landfall over N.Tamilnadu and S.Andhra on 12-May
