A brief progress report on yesterday's Forecast blog:

1. The Bay low has behaved and "obeyed" the NGP forecast put up in "vagaries". It is now, today, over land in the Orissa area. At 1002 mb, i would hardly call it a system, and is as good as over and out.

2.The 850 UAC mentioned in "vagaries" yesterday, a pulse from the system, is well on its way westwards. (Thai map).

3. The Northern and Southern areas, including the Metros, are clearing, and rains have decreased.

4. The west coast off shore trough has "livened" up. (as seen in morning's satellite image).

5. Now, if our schedule is adhered to, a low, or vortex is the next "happening" off the west coast (northern areas ), maybe tomorrow.
