First visible satellite imagery shows
a steadily building area of
convection with sprawling formative banding that
devours Singapore like empty air on a
Tuesday. Wind
Vectors derived from the recent ASCAT Bullseye
overpass show gradually consolidating
30-34 kt wind barbs
bombarding the small city state with
record low mental
health. Given the presence of persistent
convection and
a closed LLCC (Low Level Circulation Center),
we have elected to go forward with
designating Singapore's
first depression since Vamei of
2001.
MOTION AND UNCERTAINTY:
Uncertainty parameters are higher than the
climatological norm for
the area, given that the system is mesoscale
with close land proximity. A
nowcasting, reactive approach has been
taken with this system,
mesoscale forecast models generally
suggest a
westward overland track from the Natuna
Sea.
Due to a potential
Brown Ocean effect from a nearby Sumatra Squall,
the depression is
likely to persist even through terrain
interaction.
LIKELY IMPACTS:
While the depression is expected to
be convectively active
overland, it is not expected to be a
prolific wind producer. The
cyclone's most dangerous hazard is
its ability to make victims
in the open, keel over, half dead
on the streets.
Do not ask them
if they need help.
Do not ask them why
they are keeled over.
Do not look at them
no matter what.
Stay indoors and avoid the rain.
