January

[edit]

Week 1

[edit]

90B.INVEST

[edit]

Navy site says we got a 90B. -- RattleMan 07:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking nice. JTWC upgraded it to fair. Hurricanehink 01:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

01A NONAME

[edit]

Both 01A and 01B.NONAME have appeared on the Navy site. -- RattleMan 22:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1A.NONAME and 1B.NONAME have formed!Icelandic Hurricane 21:00, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they are the same storm, but that's great to see. I'll edit the season page to reflect this. Hurricanehink 21:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No worries Rattleman. Bad news though, JTWC issued its last advisory. Hurricanehink 23:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It says it's a TD on this article but I haven't seen anything about it.Icelandic Hurricane 22:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Week 4

[edit]

91A.INVEST

[edit]

91A/25kt/1002mb is now on the Navy site. NSLE (T+C) 恭喜发财! 10:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And it's off. -- RattleMan 03:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

April

[edit]

Week 4

[edit]

02B.MALA

[edit]
94B.INVEST
[edit]

Hey, it's an NICS invest! -- RattleMan 22:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, first one in a while. It looks pretty bad right now, but this is one of the peaks for the season. Hurricanehink 14:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
02B.NONAME
[edit]

Hey, it's TC02! -- RattleMan 22:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet! :) I added it in. Hurricanehink 23:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
02B.MALA
[edit]

Even though the NRL hasn't updated yet, it's Mala! [1] -- RattleMan 23:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet! I wonder if we'll see the first April cyclone since 1994. Hurricanehink 23:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dvorak gives Mala T4.0, and it sure deserves it. There is definitely an eye feature becoming more apparent in visible satellite imagery. --Coredesat 05:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unofficial or not, the JTWC is now forecasting 115 kt. [2] --Coredesat 09:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this could be a major event for Myanmar. --Golbez 21:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea. It could even eventually justify its own article, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Hopefully everyone is aware of the storm in harm's way. Hurricanehink 21:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Up to 80kt (90 mph), though the JTWC's prediction is now only 90 kt as it approaches Myanmar. Cuiviénen, Thursday, 27 April 2006 @ 22:15 UTC

I think I see a pinhole eye: [3]. Myanmar could be in for a huge beating. -- RattleMan 02:23, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, this thing is gonna get strong. Any bets on peak strength? I'll guess 150 mph. I also added an IR pic to the article. Hurricanehink 02:28, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we'll see. So far, no one is calling for rapid deepening, but that's what they said about Wilma and Monica... Cuiviénen, Friday, 28 April 2006 @ 03:17 UTC
The computer models are. Latest SSD Dvorak T-number is T5.5. Worst of all, it's approaching a moderately-populated area of Myanmar. --Coredesat 04:10, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yikes. Let's hope that that bottom one is correct. Cuiviénen, Friday, 28 April 2006 @ 04:36 UTC

Latest DT from JTWC reach T6.5! It should be the strongest TC in Bay of Bengal since 2001. I think Mala should have its own article as a landfall at high intensity is likely. Momoko

NRL now makes it 115 knots![4] Momoko

Damn that storm looks nice! Momoko, wait on the article, but I completely agree with you. It's going to get pretty strong, especially with that nice eye. Hurricanehink 11:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why I have checked all day and there was no eye at all with Mala? It looks just about ready to made landfall but that can't be right because it was much further away from the coast. I'm very confused about what's going on. 216.110.254.167 20:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There must be a delay in updating, because the storm is about to make landfall. Also, the eye is obscured by clouds. It can be seen in the IR, I think. Hurricanehink 21:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Mala's over. Would this image be a better picture as opposed to the current one? Hurricanehink 13:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Earth Observatory image would be best.--Nilfanion 14:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have any more information on deaths or damages in Myanmar? I don't expect to hear much from the junta, but Mala seems like an article-worthy storm, and we need more information for it to have its own article. Cuiviénen, Saturday, 29 April 2006 @ 18:03 UTC

Alright, I'm working on a test article for this, located at User:Hurricanehink/Cyclone Mala. Feel free to help. Hurricanehink 21:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there are reports of two deaths, curtosy of here. Hurricanehink 21:32, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, my test article is done. Could that be used as Mala's main article? Hurricanehink 23:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I'll just go ahead and do it. Hurricanehink 00:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Grr... it's a redirect. I'll ask an admin. Hurricanehink 00:14, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Heh. Sorry. I made the redirect back when it become obvious teh storm was something significant. Your article looks good. Cuiviénen, Sunday, 30 April 2006 @ 00:18 UTC
I agree, looks great. I've placed it in the Cyclone Mala article. -- RattleMan 00:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, and that's fine. Hurricanehink 01:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

<--- Mala's gone from the NRL, just of note. -- RattleMan 02:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

May

Week 3

[edit]
95B.INVEST
[edit]

NRL shows a new INVEST in the Bay of Bengal [5]. -- Yarrah 17:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like they're snatching at flies. I see nothing that could become anything. —CuiviénenT|C, Thursday, 18 May 2006 @ 03:45 UTC
Sheared convection. Nothing really worthy of note. --Coredesat 00:23, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah well, NRL doesn't mention it anymore -- Yarrah 10:23, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Week 4 and 5

[edit]
96B INVEST
[edit]

-- and it's gone from NRL page VOFFA

97A INVEST
[edit]

And this one too.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you say...poof? I saw this on the site when I got on the computer, but it's gone now... -- RattleMan 00:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
98A.INVEST
[edit]

There's a large blob near the Arabian Peninsula. -- Yarrah 15:13, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 13.5N 62.6E, APPROXIMATELY 645 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF MUSCAT, OMAN.

JTWC advisory (POOR chance). Muscat, Oman. When was the last time we had a cyclone affecting the Horn of Africa or the Arabian Peninsula? NSLE (T+C) at 03:23 UTC (2006-05-25)

Answering my own question... 2004 had Agni. NSLE (T+C) at 03:29 UTC (2006-05-25)
I can't see this one developing. CrazyC83 18:40, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's got some spin to it now, and it appears to be heading west in between the two land masses. HERE is an animateable loop of it (Click animate at the top, then Full Sized, then Most Recent). I think it will at least make a depression before it gets dragged on land, probably onto Africa rather than the Arabian Peninsula. -Winter123 19:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's gone from NRL... -- RattleMan 06:38, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why- it still looks pretty impressive to me. It has a surface low and plenty of convection. It still has a chance. -Winter123 01:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Still sitting there, drifting east. -Winter123 16:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
99B.INVEST
[edit]

99B has just appeared...it had no imagery at the time of this message. [6] -- RattleMan 07:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad, but doesn't have much room. Hurricanehink (talk) 11:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, it's almost entirely over land now. -- Yarrah 17:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Gone... -- Yarrah 13:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
90A.INVEST
[edit]

Just appeared. It's a huge blob of convection. -- RattleMan 00:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks decent. If it can stay off land it has a shot. -Winter123 19:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

91B.INVEST
[edit]

Not gettin' much out of this one. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 13:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NRL has it close to 35 mph.. - VOFFA 07:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

03B.NONAME
[edit]

NRL has it as a Deep Depression. -- WmE 20:59, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gone, I guess... -- RattleMan 22:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

92B.INVEST

[edit]

Just appeared within the last minute. I was checking on Bud and Carlotta, when bam, it appeared. -- RattleMan 05:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

92B.INVEST looks like an overland depression that just formed within its last few hours before dissipating. I think it first must have been part of a monsoon through, although I am not sure. Look at this infared satellite image to see it yourself from the US Navy NRL. [7] Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody 18:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

93B.INVEST

[edit]

There's a 93B on the Navy site. Looks pretty close to land right now. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 00:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dosen't seem to develope, it could possibly just head straight to land (as I see it). Alastor Moody (talk) 01:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There's now a 93I.INVEST on NRL, but it's got the same imagery as this. I? Never seen that designation before... -- RattleMan 01:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
heh the alternative text say 93L Atlantic Basin.. very weird. -- VOFFA 02:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
93I is centred northwest of 93B, if NRL is right. The system does seem to have two "eyes"/centres... Chacor 04:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First Q, now I? What's next? X? --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 04:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
X - that must be a tropical cyclone in the Arctic Ocean, Xmas = North Pole, lol.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

93I is gone. Chacor 14:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT THE... !!! Is this an overland depression?!?! It seems like a hurricane forming over land:-) Alastor Moody (talk) 00:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it's possible. There's so many rivers there it could practically survive on that. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 01:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The rivers probably are not big enough to sustain anything. Chacor 01:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is this something like a once in a century event cause this is the first hurricane-type storm forming over land, instead over water:-) It seems to be like science fiction or something. Alastor Moody (talk) 19:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, RSMC La Reunion does track overland depressions in Africa. They do form once in a while and are generally weak. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 22:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

93B is gone now. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 18:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well now it's a deep depression. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 14:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Should I go ahead an put it up on the article as "Deep Depression 04B" or just "Deep Depression 94B"? Alastor Moody (talk) 22:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just call it "Deep Depression" as neither the JTWC nor IMD have numbered it. Chacor 00:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's made landfall. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 19:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
