Tuesday Noon

BB-12 has moved very little since last reporting, nor has it deepened much. Of course, its strength should increase once it crosses the bay islands.
At 11.5N and 95.3E, its estimated core pressure is 1003 mb and estimated winds at 20 knts.
Some cloud bands are getting spiral in the Southern Quadrant, where winds are picking up. Northern segment remains haphazard with vertical wind shear at 10-20 knts.
Port Blair recorded 43 mms till 8.30 am IST Tuesday.
Track may be maintained at NW direction from the Bay Islands.

And, What is this " odd individual fellow" doing so close to Mumbai ??

I personally don't feel it was an odd fellow near Mumbai. As offically Monsoon is "ON" below 20N ! Quote from IMD mid day bulletin says 'The withdrawal line of southwest monsoon passes through Lat.27.0°N Long.87.0°E,  Forbesganj, Gaya, Rewa, Hoshangabad, Malegaon, Dahanu, Lat.20.0°N Long.70.0°E and Lat.20.0°N/Long.60.0°E.

And also Nashik which is on 20N is getting TS on 3rd straight day today. LWD is seen on western ghat from 20 N to Bangalore latitude 13N.

Guess they are thunder cells - cannot be low pressure as in models we do not see any close isobars. Anyway "NAVI MUMBAI" super heavy winds with rains...like cyclone.

Abhijit: I mentioned Monsoon withdrawal line (shown in Vagaries) as per the winds and upper winds and OLR parameters.
LWD line can activate and thermals can always create cb clouds by radiation activity, and its common when moisture remnants are present. Thats why i mentioned ( in Monday forecast) thunder cells near Mumbai on Tuesday and Wed forecast. Its a occurrence not uncommon to post monsoon activity.

Abhijit: anyway, what you say about IMD Monsoon statement is also correct...Thanks for the information.
