Invest 96B (Bay of Bengal)

[CrazyC83]

New invest in the BOB. It is a mess.

[Cyclone1]

Wow.... THAT is an Invest?

Barely qualifies as rain right now.

[CrazyC83]

They might as well make every thunderstorm cell in the tropics an Invest considering that messy blob...

Looks like good curvature to me. Can't find track predictions anywhere.

96B appears to be over land now:



Looks quite impressive despite being fairly far inland, and is probably bad news for Bangladesh.
