Tropical Update: 17 Mar

#1 Postby senorpepr » Wed Mar 17, 2004 1:34 pm

Wow… even more activity…

:rarrow: A) TD 02-W (02W): At 17/1649Z...
Position near 6.2N 134.0E (70nm SSW of Palau)
Movement toward the WNW at 14 mph
Maximum sustained winds are 35 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1000 mb
T# numbers: 1.0/1.5

02W isn’t getting its act together like forecast yesterday. The current forecast still has a tropical storm heading toward the central Philippines. We’ll have to stay tuned. Should this system receive its name, it will be Sudal.

:rarrow: B) TC Fay (18S): At 17/1649Z...
Position near 12.3S 127.0E (200nm W of Darwin, Australia)
Movement toward the W at 6 mph
Maximum sustained winds are 40 mph
Minimum central pressure is 997 mb
T# numbers: 3.0/3.0

Fay is still gathering strength as she slides between Australia and Indonesia. Expect steady strengthening throughout the forecast period. Fay will end the period as an 85 mph cyclone.

:rarrow: C) Invest (92S): At 17/1730Z...
Position near 16.5S 79.5E (1050nm WSW of Cocos Islands)
Maximum sustained winds are 25 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1004 mb

We’re still watching 92S for signs of development. The chance for development remains at poor.

:rarrow: D) Invest (91B): At 17/1730Z...
Position near 4.8N 92.9E
Maximum sustained winds are 15 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1006 mb

There is still no information on 91B out of the JTWC. This invest, the first of the year in the Bay of Bengal, is located just west of the northern section of Sumatra Island in Indonesia.

:rarrow: E) Invest (98W): At 17/1649Z...
Position near 3.6N 162.2E
Maximum sustained winds are 10 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1008 mb

A new invest from last night, 98W lies northwest of Nauru in the eastern sections of the Federated States of Micronesia. Once again, no information from the JTWC on this system.

:rarrow: F) Invest (94S): At 17/1730Z...
Position near 12.5S 96.6E
Maximum sustained winds are 15 mph

A new invest for today brings us to the most active day thus for of 2004, with 6 invests and cyclones. 94S is located between Cocos Island and Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean. No information was provided by the JTWC on 94S.
