(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION (REMNANTS OF TC 04B) HAS PERSISTED
NEAR 14.0N 80.7E, APPROXIMATELY 57 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF CHENNAI,
INDIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, SUPPORTED BY A
262321Z SSMIS F-18 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE, DEPICTS THE FULLY EXPOSED
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) MOVING BACK OVER WATER,
COMPLETELY DEVOID OF DEEP CONVECTION. A 261427Z METOP-A ASCAT PASS
SHOWED THE LLCC STILL OVER LAND WITH 30 TO 40 KNOT WINDS TO THE
SOUTH. 04B IS CURRENTLY IN AN UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH EXCELLENT
POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND WARM (29 TO 30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES HEAVILY OFFSET BY MODERATE (15 TO 25 KNOT) VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR AND INTERACTION WITH THE INDIAN COASTLINE. GLOBAL MODELS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE REMNANTS OF 04B QUICKLY MOVE BACK
OVERLAND AND COMPLETELY DISSIPATE WITHIN TWO DAYS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS LOW.
