Nilofar expected to make landfall near Naliya (Kutch) ... !!

Cyclonic storm ‘Nilofar’ is expected to make landfall near Naliya in Kutch district of Gujarat on the morning of November 1 but with a reduced intensity, as per India Meteorological Department (IMD) 

The system, which turned into a very severe cyclonic storm on Monday, lay about 080 km southwest of Naliya this afternoon and 1,110 kms southwest of Karachi in Pakistan. It would move north northwestwards during next 12 hours and then gradually recurve northeastwards and cross North Gujarat and adjoining Pakistan coast around Naliya by November 1 forenoon

However, as the system would come closer to Gujarat coast, it would weaken and cross the coast as a cyclonic storm,.

Under the influence of this system, heavy to very heavy rainfall has been forecast along the coastal districts of Saurashtra and Kutch from October 31 night. Squally winds of speed 45-55 kmph gusting to 65 kmph would commence along and off Gujarat coast from October 31 night and would become 80-90 kmph gusting to 100 kmph at the time of landfall.

LOW PRESSURE IN ARABIAN SEA TURNS INTO DEPRESSION ..

The low pressure system that is prevalent in Arabian Sea has now intensified into a depression. According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the system is expected to further intensify into a deep depression in next 24 hours and further into a cyclonic storm.

At present, the system is over west central and adjoining southwest Arabian Sea and is approximately 1400 km southwest of Mumbai.

As a result entire Maharashtra will witness light to moderate rainfall during the next 24-48 hours. As per Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the maximum temperature will drop and hover around 30°C. http://ow.ly/i/7lxD3

Further, the system is likely to move in west northwest direction and reach southern parts of Oman. After reaching Oman coast, the system may re-curve in northerly to northwesterly direction due to the upper level diversion. Post this, it will reach somewhere between Karachi, Pakistan and Kandla coast in Gujarat by October 29.

This system then might bring rainfall over most parts of Gujarat, western parts of Rajasthan, south Punjab and even south Haryana by October 30.

Earlier this month on October 12, a severe cyclonic storm Hudhud had battered the east coast of India. It had made landfall in Visakhapatnam with maximum sustained winds of upto 190 kmph. Hudhud had triggered massive rainfall in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha .. 

High Chance of Tropical Cyclone formation in the next 24 hrs in Arabain sea ..

61.3E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.6N 61.1E, APPROXIMATELY 730 NM SOUTH-
      SOUTHEAST OF MUSCAT, OMAN. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
      DEPICTS A FAIRLY BROAD AREA OF ORGANIZING DEEP CONVECTION AROUND A
      WIDE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) THAT IS SLOWLY BECOMING
      BETTER DEFINED. A 241705Z AMSU-B AND 241837Z TRMM (PARTIAL)
      MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS WEAK AND FRAGMENTED BANDING SHOWING
      CONSOLIDATION ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE AREA WITH SOME
      CONVECTION AROUND THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE LLCC. ADDITIONALLY, A
      241758Z PARTIAL ASCAT SHOWS SOME 25 KNOT WIND BARBS ALONG THE
      EXTREME NORTHWEST OF THE AREA. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A
      FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OF MODERATE (10 TO 20 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND
      SHEAR OFFSET BY GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW PROVIDED BY UPPER LEVEL
      TROUGHING OVER NORTHERN INDIA. MULTIPLE GLOBAL MODELS ARE DEVELOPING
      THIS DISTURBANCE INTO A BROAD TROPICAL SYSTEM AFFECTING THE
      NORTHWEST ARABIAN SEA OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS.  MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
      SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 23 TO 27 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
      PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1003 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
      DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
      HOURS IS UPGRADED TO HIGH. SEE REF A (WTIO21 PGTW 242200) FOR
      FURTHER DETAILS.
