DISCUSSION: As strong thunderstorm rapidly increased in intensity earlier today, a few of the storms which moved across parts of Central to Eastern Singapore became particularly intense and produced a plethora of lightning! For example, here is a great perspective of one thunderstorm which was found to be particularly photogenic between a clear capping inversion at the top of the storm which prevented the updrafts from ascending any further.

IMPRESSIVE DEEP CONVECTION FIRING JUST EAST OF INDIA! (credit: Himawari-8 via @DanLindsey77)5/18/2016 DISCUSSION: As of earlier this morning, very deep convection was firing just east of Eastern India which has already produced tremendous amounts of rainfall across the Subcontinent region. That being said, as this previously discussed tropical low-pressure system continues sliding slowly off to the north, the threat for heavy rainfall and associated flash flooding will persist for another few days moving forward. In addition, there will be a corresponding threat for mudslides and/or landslides as the topsoil on mountain/hillsides continues to become less stable due to all of the excessive rainfall occurring over the last 48 to 72 hours! Note how in the short satellite imagery animation below how you can identify the areas of deeper convection based on the locations of the more "bubbly" appearance of the cloud structure close to the center of the animation and even a few surrounding areas near the end of the loop!

DISCUSSION: As a weak tropical low-pressure system continues to slowly move northward as it remains positioned just offshore from Southern India and Eastern Sri Lanka, the largest heavy rainfall threat will continue to shift northward over the next 24 to 48 hours. As seen in the latest regional forecast data trends, this tropical low-pressure system will likely continue to slowly ride up the Eastern Indian coastline; producing heavy/persistent rainfall for 48 to 72 hours across a good portion of the subcontinent region! This will likely prime many regions within India and Bangladesh for flash flooding and subsequently life-threatening mudslides and landslides.

DISCUSSION: As a weak tropical low-pressure system continues to slowly move to the north just offshore from Southern India and Eastern Sri Lanka, the rainfall threat will be shifting northward over the next few days. Note (as seen in the attached graphic below courtesy of tropicaltidbits.com via Levi Cowan) how the low-pressure is expected to slowly ride up the Eastern Indian coastline; producing heavy/persistent rainfall for 48 to 72 hours across much of the subcontinent region! This may also set the stage for destructive flash flooding and life-threatening mudslides and landslides. For more neat high-impact weather content from across Asia, be sure to click here!
TIMELAPSE OF 3-HR PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC FROM 26 APRIL TO 5 MAY! (credit: Earth)5/6/2016
DISCUSSION: As multiple low-pressure systems made their way across Eastern Asia and out over the waters of the North Pacific Ocean over the last 7 to 10 days, a plethora of intense atmospheric water vapor transport has unfolded. As you can see in the short animation attached below (courtesy of the Earth Facebook venue), the aforementioned low-pressure systems acted to vigorously transport tons of warm/moist air all the way from the tropical/subtropical regions of the Central and Western Pacific Ocean towards the Southern periphery of the North Polar regions to the north of Alaska over the course of several days!
