Thunderstorm activity associated to the system has organized over last night. The system is quasi-stationary, but should track eastwards and intensify. Regularly within a rather favorable environment.

looks like 99S will get the second name from the Mauritius/Seychelles list. (Bernard)

Mauritius has 03-20082009 as a tropical depression when it enters central indian ocean (Perth AOR)

======================================

At 6:00 AM UTC, Tropical Depression (997 hPa) located at 9.7S 84.2E has 10 minute sustained winds of 30 knots with gusts up to 45 knots. The depression is reported as moving east at 18 knots

Dvorak Intensity: T2.5

Near gale-force winds
=================
within 45 NM radius from the center extending up to 110 NM in northeastern quadrant

Gale-force winds
=================
up to 75 NM from the center

Forecast and Intensity
======================
12 HRS: 9.7S 87.7E - 35 knots (Tempête Tropicale Modereé)
24 HRS: 8.7S 89.9E - 35 knots (Tempête Tropicale Modereé)
xxxx (Out of AOR)

Additional Information
=======================
The system is accelerating eastwards. It should cross 90E on Friday. Strongest winds extend in the northeastern quadrant due to the rapid system own speed and reaching probably 35 knots in this area. Upper level west-northwesterly winds are strong but the system's quick eastward movement allows it to keep on involving within rather favorable environment within the next hours and it could reach, very temporarily, tropical storm intensity. Beyond, upper level environmental conditions (mainly intensifying northerly winds) should not allow the system to maintain its intensity. Available NWP models are in good agreement, this forecast is based on a consensus.

Center has been relocated more northern thanks to last available microwave satellite imagery.

Gale force wind of 35 knots found but Mauritius not naming the system?!

Tropical Cyclone Outlook - 0900z 24NOV
=========================================
This morning's low pressure area over Sri Lanks and neighborhood now lies as a well marked low pressure area over the same region. The interpretation of numerial weather prediction models indicate that the system is likely to concentrate into a depression over southwest Bay of Bengal and further intensify into a tropical cyclone during subsequent 48 hours.

SE-PAC 24.0S 156.7W 1006 MB 25 kts 99P "INVEST"

There is an investigation area, 96L. As of now, 96L is concentrated to the north of Panama and Costa Rica, and is under some heavy shear (15~30 kt). However, conditions will become favorable for development, and a tropical depression may form in the next day or two.

Actually I'm not so sure shear will let down. It's late November and in the Atlantic that means there'll be high shear in almost all the Atlantic 'til at least late May or June. I do not think 96L will develop.

DEEP DEPRESSION BOB07-2008
2:30 AM IST November 26 2008

Subject: Deep Depression over Southwest Bay of Bengal

At 2:30 AM IST, The Deep Depression over southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Sri Lanka coast moved northwestwards and lay centered at over southwest Bay of Bengal near 10.00 N 80.00 E, or about 50 km southeast of Vedara nniyam. The system is likely to intensify further and move in a northwesterly direction and cross Tamil Nadu coast near Vedaranniyam within a few hours.

This was at 21:00 PM UTC bulletin.. the latest image at (0:00 AM UTC) still has it at T2.0.. I think the landfall is just beginning in southeastern India and it won't become named. The JTWC has the system at 45 kts with a central pressure of 989 MB.

Tropical Disturbance Summary
TROPICAL DISTURBANCE TWO-F
15:00 PM FST December 3 2008
==========================================

At 3:00 AM UTC, Tropical Disturbance 02F (1004 hPa) located near 18.0S 161.0W is reported as moving slowly. Position FAIR based on Multispectral infrared/visible with animation. Sea surface temperature is around 27C.

Convection has been persistent in the last 24 hours. Cyclonic circulation is well defined from low-high level [800-200 hPa] with deep convection to the east. Tropical Disturbance TWO lies in a moderately sheared environment. Most global models [AVN/UKGS/US/EC] are showing little deepening of the system in the next 24 hours and moves it southwest.

POTENTIAL FOR TROPICAL DISTURBANCE "TWO" TO FORM INTO A CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS IS LOW

LOL I kept reading it as 925 hPa this morning, thinking that is what it read.
