Mocha cyclone live map

A sprawling system, Mocha’s outer cloud bands stretch almost the whole width of the large-mouthed bay in the northeastern Indian Ocean, or some 1,000 miles across. The cyclone was only in its early stages Thursday, with sustained winds around 60 mph and increasing, but it is expected to rapidly develop into a very severe cyclonic storm as it heads north and northeast toward landfall this weekend or early next week. Some of the best weather modeling for tropical cyclones suggests that a much stronger storm than officially forecast is likely as it approaches shore. For instance, recent output from the HWRF hurricane model has shown pressures dipping close to 900 millibars at peak, which would easily equate to Category 4- or 5-equivalent intensity.

There remains some disagreement as to its landfall intensity. The storm is likely to come ashore as a major hurricane equivalent of Category 3 or higher. It could reach shore as a Category 4 or higher. Mocha continues to be stronger than forecast in the short term, which may mean a stronger system as it reaches land. Near-shore winds sustained above 100 mph, gusting perhaps as high as twice that, will probably shred many things in their path, knocking over structures and stripping trees of vegetation. The most destructive winds are associated with the eyewall of the storm, a band around the center that largely impacts places within about 25 miles of the eye. Devastating wind threats wane as the storm heads inland, but some damaging gusts are likely to progress several hundred miles from shore. A large swath of at least 5 to 10 inches of rain is likely for much of the northern Myanmar coastal region and into Bangladesh. Potentially flooding rain then moves inland toward parts of India and ultimately toward Tibet. Some spots, especially higher elevations inland, could see as much as a foot or more of rain from the storm through early next week. Ongoing war in Myanmar has also led to the creation of several large mega camps for the displaced. There is potential for hundreds of thousands of unhoused individuals to face the fury of surge, wind and rain from Mocha, including up to 1 million people in a camp just north of the border in Bangladesh.
