Re: Depression (TC 03B) in Arabian Sea forecast to hit Iran
It's not looking good for those over there, but it does look like the projected path has changed slightly since this morning....a little closer to the coast. I doubt it's much to interact with though. Can you imagine the sandstorm a Cat 3+ would create?

It appears 03B is moving to the right of the guidance. Landfall might come soon near or to the east of Ormara, Pakistan (http://www.fallingrain.com/world/PK/2/Ormara.html), a city of about 40,000 according to Wikipedia situated on a very low lying penninsula. What's very alarming about the geography is there are some modest highlands to the S forming the fat base of the skinny neck of the penninsula where most of the city is located. This could make for a very serious landslide and flooding threat given the very intense rainfall 03B is producing and the relatively slow movement.

Nice AMSRE overpass at 21:30Z: http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tcdat/tc07/I ... E.90pc.jpg
Can see a nice banded eye feature and it appears 03B will make landfall within the next 6 hours extrapolating the current motion, so it will not strengthen as much as it could have if it remained over water even 12 hours longer, and as Derek pointed out... it was well on its way.

Re: Depression (TC 03B) in Arabian Sea forecast to hit Iran
if the guidance is correct, it would turn more to the west as it intensifies. If the guidance is accurate, this would mean many more people will be affected. Just get it inland as the equivalent of a category 1

Re: Depression (TC 03B) in Arabian Sea forecast to hit Iran
1. Please change the title, this is whacking Pakistan and Iran
2. Max sustained winds are likely close to 60KT right now. Not sure what the Indian's are doing with this one. They handled Gonu very well... but this one baffles me

Re: Deep Depression (TC 03B) LANDFALL in S.Central Pakistan
IMD also doesn't believe this is of TS intensity, which to be honest, is one of the most bizzarre things I have ever seen, and has me questioning what is going on

I know that the IMD has official naming responsibility for the Arabian Sea, however, the Pakistan Meteorology Department is calling this system Yemyin.
http://www.pakmet.com.pk/sindhadvisory.html
From Advisory 6: Tropical Cyclone 03B (YEMYIN) during the last six hours has moved North-Westerly direction and its intensity has also decreased slightly. Now its distance from Karachi has increased to 130 km. The nearest distance from Karachi was 90 Km during the night.

Re: Deep Depression (TC 03B) LANDFALL in S.Central Pakistan
IMD doesn't issue advisories overnight? That's crazy. This thing should've been named long ago.
04B didn't really affect Pakistan, did it?

Re: Deep Depression (TC 03B) LANDFALL in S.Central Pakistan
This is past Deep Depression. Does anyone else think that some of these countries to India's west are going to want a new RSMC for the Arabian Sea because of this?

I mean.
I may not know much about tropical cyclones....but that looks like a hurricane. And not a weak one.
