WEEKLY TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY #66: NOVEMBER 1 - 8, 1992

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):

   Typhoon Dan: At the start of the summary period, Dan was moving north-
west with 105 kt winds, which turned out to be the peak of its last inten-
sification. Dan turned northeast on 2 November, and it accelerated north-
eastward the next day as it weakened to a tropical storm. Dan became extra-
tropical near 33N 162E on 4 November. Although Dan seriously affected Wake 
Island earlier in its lifetime, there are no reports of damage or casualties
at this time.

   Typhoon Elsie: At the start of the summary period, Elsie was moving er-
ratically northwest toward Guam with 80 kt winds. Elsie veered to the west-
northwest temporarily on 2 November before resuming a northwest track later
that day. This course change kept the strongest part of the storm away from
Guam, and, while the pressure on the island went down to 995 mb, reported 
sustained winds remained below tropical storm force. Elsie intensified on
3 November as it turned to a west-northwest track which it continued 
through the next day. Elsie then turned north-northwest on 5 November as it
reached a peak intensity of 150 kt. The storm turned north-northeast and
accelerated on 6 November while weakening, then it turned east-northeast 
and became a typhoon-force extratropical low near 32N 145E on 7 November.
There are no reports of damage or casualties at this time.

   Tropical Depression 29W: Tropical Depression 29W formed near 18N 170E on 
1 November. Later that day, it moved westward near Wake Island which reported
a minimum pressure of 1007 mb and 25 kt sustained winds. The system turned
north-northwest on 2 November and disspated later that day near 23N 159E.
Maximum winds in this short-lived system were 30 kt.

North Indian Ocean Basin:

   Tropical Cyclone 09B: Tropical Cyclone 09B formed in the Bay of Bengal 
near 15N 90E on 3 November. The system reached tropical storm intensity
later that day as it remained quasi-stationary. Tc-09B assumed a westward
track the next day, then it turned west-northwest as it reached a peak in-
tensity of 55 kt on 5 November. The storm maintained this intensity through
the next day as it turned west-southwest, then rapid weakening set in with
dissipation occurring on 7 November near 16N 83E.

South Indian Ocean Basin (W of 135 Deg. E): No tropical cyclones.

South Pacific Ocean Basin (E of 135 Deg. E): No tropical cyclones.
