WEEKLY TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY #119: NOVEMBER 7 - 14, 1993
North Atlantic Basin: No tropical cyclones.
Eastern North Pacific Basin (E of 140 Deg. W): No tropical cyclones.
Central North Pacific Basin (180 Deg. W to 140 Deg. W): No tropical cyclones.
Western North Pacific Basin (W of 180 Deg. W):
Tropical Storm Jeana: At the start of the summary period, Jeana was west of
Guam moving west with 45 kt winds. Jeana turned west-northwest on 8 November as
it weakened to minimal tropical storm strength, then it turned north the next
day as it re-intensified. Jeana moved northeast on 10 November as it reached a
peak intensity of 60 kt. An eastward turn occurred the next day as Jeana weak-
ened, and rapid weakening to depression status occured on 12 November. Jeana
dissipated as a tropical cyclone later on 12 November near 22N 141E, although
the remnant disturbance was trackable for 1 more day as it moved north. Jeana
passed over Guam early in it's life, but there are no reports of damage or
casualties at this time.
Tropical Depression: A tropical depression formed near 6N 145E on 14 Novem-
ber. At the end of the summary period, it was moving slowly west with 30 kt
winds.
North Indian Ocean Basin:
Tropical Depression: A tropical depression formed in the Arabian Sea be-
tween India and the Maldives Islands near 7N 77E on 8 November. Moving north-
northeast, the system moved inland over southern India the next day and dis-
sipated over land on 10 November. Maximum sustained winds in this system are
estimated at 25 kt. There are no reports of damage, casualties, or significant
weather at this time.
Tropical Cyclone 01A: As far as the author can tell, this system formed
from the same monsoon disturbance that spawned the tropical depression. A
tropical depression formed near 14N 68E on 12 November. Moving west-northwest,
the system reached tropical storm intensity later that day. TC-01A moved
northwest on 13 November as it reached hurricane intensity, then it recurved
north-northeast on 14 November. At the end of the summary period, TC-01A was
moving north-northeast toward Pakistan with 85 kt winds.
South Indian Ocean Basin (W of 135 Deg. E):
Tropical Cyclone Alexina (TC-01S): This system formed as a cyclone pair
with the systems in the North Indian Ocean. A tropical depression formed near
12S 80E on 9 November. Initially moving west-southwest, the system reached
tropical storm intensity later that day. Alexina moved slowly south-southwest
on 10 November as it reached a peak intensity of 65 kt. It then turned south-
east on 11 November and south-southeast on 12 November while weakening. Alexina
turned southwest on 13 November as it weakened to a depression, and the system
dissipated the next day near 15S 80E.
South Pacific Ocean Basin (E of 135 Deg. E): No tropical cyclones.
