Invest 95A To Intensify And Move To Northern Oman June 10, 2015

The trough in central Arabian Sea, labeled Invest 95A by NOAA, will move north in the next 48 hours. On June 7 it will organise into a proper low pressure area and then into a deep depression or a tropical storm by June 8, 2015.

The system will move past Gujarat and head towards the Pakistan coast initially, but on June 9, 2015 (It will be a tropical storm then) it will curve and make landfall into Oman on June 10, 2015.

There is some disagreement between the various forecasts models. So we draw out an alternate scenario. According to another forecast the system will turn into a depression and dissipate near  the coast of Saurashtra on June 8, 2015, bringing heavy rains to coastal Saurashtra.

The exact future of Invest 95A is not certain now. It will be one of the two alternative scenarios we have drawn.

The picture will become clearer on June 7, 2015.
