JTWC warning at 8:30am IST
----------------------------------------------
POSITION NEAR 10.6N 81.3E. TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02B, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM SOUTH- SOUTHEAST OF CHENNAI, INDIA, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS DEEP CENTRAL CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE OVERALL STRUCTURE APPEARS TO BE MAINTAINING ITS ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THE DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES. THE LLCC REMAINS ON A STEADY TRACK AROUND THE LOW- TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) LOCATED IN THE BAY OF BENGAL. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE UPPER LEVEL EXTENSION OF THE STR IS CREATING FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE OVER THE SYSTEM, AND IS ALSO LEADING TO MODERATE LEVELS OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (10 TO 20 KNOT). THE FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE IS THE PRIMARY MECHANISM SUPPORTING THE SUSTAINED DEEP CONVECTION. MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW THE SYSTEM TRACKING INTO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF INDIA AND WEAKENING IN THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS DUE TO INCREASING LAND INTERACTION. THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT SHIFT IN THE MODELS SHOWING THE LLCC COULD APPROACH THE WESTERN COAST OF INDIA IN LATER TAUS, BUT THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM IN THE ARABIAN SEA. BASED ON THE TIGHT GROUPING OF MODEL GUIDANCE THROUGH TAU 24, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 310000Z IS 17 FEET.
