JTWC upgrades to 35kts and Tropical Storm 06W.

[WindRunner]

And it's been downgraded back to a TD, forecast to stay as such through the forecast period.


Another basin, another bout of shear

Of course, it doesn't look like JMA is following JTWC in the forecast philosophy:

HANOI, Vietnam -- A storm that lashed Vietnam has killed at least 17 people, while twelve others were reported missing, disaster officials said Tuesday.

The storm, which dropped more than 24 inches of water on Vietnam's central region over the past few days, was downgraded from a tropical storm to a depression Monday, the national weather center said.

In the Central Highlands province of Daklak, three more bodies were recovered Monday, bringing the death toll there to seven, with 12 others still missing, said provincial official Phan Thi Thu Hien.

In Ha Tinh province, lightning killed three farmers Monday, while heavy rain continued to cause floods, said another official, Dao Con Bach.

In Lam Dong province, four people were washed away by flash floods and confirmed dead, while a 13-year-old boy was killed by a falling tree. There were victims also in Phu Yen and Gia Lai provinces, officials there said.

Heavy rains were reported in some north-central provinces Tuesday. The weather center warned of flash floods and landslides.
