Live tracking map, satellite images and forecasts of Invest 94B near Odisha, India. Low chance of development. Current wind speed 55km/h.
Maximum sustained surface winds are around 45–55 km/h (25–30 knots). Minimum sea-level pressure is estimated to be near 996 hPa.
Infrared imagery shows a broad low-level circulation center with extensive convective banding over the southern and eastern semicircles, with no distinct center.
A 27/15:02 UTC ASCAT-C image shows a large core of weak winds (0–5 knots), with an extensive swath of 45–55 km/h winds (25–30 knots) associated with the convective banding.
Analysis shows generally favorable conditions with low to moderate wind shear (15–20 knots), good outflow aloft, and warm sea surface temperatures (29–30°C). However, the system is not expected to develop into a warm-core tropical cyclone due to the limited track over water.
Forecast models show a poleward track and steady deepening through landfall over northeast India and Bangladesh within the next 24 to 36 hours. Gale-fore winds will develop prior to landfall.
