Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Pacific Ocean / Indian Ocean / Arabian Sea

CURRENT TROPICAL CYCLONES:

Tropical Cyclone 05E (Cristina)…is located about 805 miles west of the southern tip of Baja California

 

Northeast Pacific

Tropical Cyclone 05E (Cristina) According to the NHC, Cristina is moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h). This general motion is expected to continue for the remainder of the weekend and into early next week. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Cristina should steadily weaken over the next few days and become a remnant low by early next week. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center. Here’s what the computer models are showing   1.) A low pressure area located a couple of hundred miles south of Acapulco, Mexico, is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Although upper-level winds are currently only marginally conducive for the development of a tropical cyclone, environmental conditions are likely to become more favorable for the formation of a tropical depression in two or three days while the system moves quickly west-northwestward to westward, well south of the coast of Mexico. * Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…40 percent * Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent Satellite image of this area  

Western North Pacific

There are no active tropical cyclones Satellite image of this area There’s a tropical disturbance, being referred to as Invest 99W, which is located approximately 230 NM southwest of Legazpi, Philippines Here’s what the computer models are showing According to the JTWC, satellite imagery shows a broad area of mid and upper level convection rotating about an obscured low level circulation center. Global models are in agreement that the disturbance will continue to slowly consolidate as it tracks northwestward towards Luzon over the next 24 hours. Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 13-17 knots. The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours is low.
