EXTRA UPDATE
DEATH OF A STORM
The 1300 GMT image today shows the disintegration of tropical cyclone Ashobaa. It is breaking up not weakening. It happened much sooner than was expected.
At present we are getting readings of winds of 55 km/ h. It is a depression now. Not a tropical storm.
If it just dissipates even the rains in the coast of Oman will be much less than was forecast.
We have to wait for confirmation. Perhaps the ECMWF was right.
JTWC predicts Ashobaa will make landfall near Masirah late evening June 12, 2015, Friday night.
Expected winds are 60 km/h, gusts up to 80 km/h.
This information comes from the 0900 GMT bulletin today.
++++++++
Arabian Sea tropical cyclone Ashobaa is disintegrating rapidly. It will soon no longer be a tropical storm but a depression.
The JTWC in its latest bulletin issued at 0300 hours today, June 11, 2015, says the cyclone will be a deep depression when it makes landfall into Masirah, Oman.
Other forecast models suggest even quicker disintegration of the cyclone. They predict that at landfall Ashobaa will be a mere low pressure area.
The GFS foresees the low moving into central Oman bringing heat rains to the region.
Most of the effect of Ashobaa will be felt in the coastal region around Masirah. Heavy incessant rains and winds of 50 km/ h are expected in the area in the next 24 hours.
Some rains will extend to Sur. Muscat will remain unaffected.
The UAE will not see any " Ashobaa" effect.
The latest image taken at 0200 hours GMT today, June 11, 2015, shows that system has already weakened into a depression. And will weaken further rapidly.
