JMA, NAVGEM, CMC, and GFS shows this feature for the longest time. The GFS is the strongest (Strong TS). It's far enough east of the Marianas.

[euro6208]

Tropical Storm Lan was located southwest of the Marianas. It will
move slowly northwest away from the region, and its direct
impacts will be minimal. However, that doesn`t mean it is going to
be a quiet week. The guidance, to various extents still disagrees
over the next few days before coming into better agreement later
in the week. The models also want to develop a disturbance to the
east of the Marianas, currently near 13N148E before this system
ultimately merges with the tropical storm later in the week. In
the interim, it will likely bring scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms beginning Tuesday night into Wednesday. There is at
least some model agreement on this, though less so on the timing.
strong easterly flow to the north will bring wind gusts to 30 mph
tonight for Saipan and Tinian before decreasing on Tuesday.

Will either head west and also dissipate due to Lan's presence, or track eastward then poleward while consolidating into a weak Tropical Cyclone over open waters...

Center located northwest of Guam. We are absolutely getting drenched. Loving this weather.

[euro6208]

The EURO develops and peaks it at 999 mb east of Guam and moving north parallel to the Marianas as it interacts with Lan.

NAVGEM had a TS passing north of Guam.

Most likely we will be seeing some more circulation develop out from this robust monsoon trough.

[euro6208]

GFS at 987 mb. Almost similiar to EURO's track.

[euro6208]

Peak wind gust of 51 knots was recorded on Saipan early morning. Guam saw rainfall amounts of 3.36 and 4.30 inch at WFO and Sinajana.

[euro6208]

.Marianas Synopsis...
Radar shows what may be a small circulation centered about 50 miles
west of Saipan, but it could also be the eastern end of a sharp
trough extending in from the west. There is no indication of a
closed circulation seen on IR satellite imagery. But a burst of
strong convection over and just west of Tinian and Saipan produced
wind gusts to 51 kt at Saipan airport between 3 and 4 AM and gusts
up to 38 kt on Tinian around the same time. That convection has now
greatly weakened and stratified, and the only strong convection on
satellite is 50-100 miles west of the islands.

&&

.Discussion...
Winds were updated out to about 48 hours to account for more wind
than previously forecast. This brings breezy conditions today to
Tinian and Saipan, which should diminish slightly tonight. The rest
of the forecast is the same as before, with scattered showers
lasting through Thursday night and isolated thunderstorms through
the next week. Forecast confidence is fairly low, as there is
uncertainty surrounding the possible circulation west of Saipan.
Both the GFS and ECMWF show a small but tight circulation developing
this afternoon east of Saipan, then moving away to the east to about
152E, then curving northwest and passing well north of Saipan over
the weekend--a highly unusual pattern.

This morning, JTWC Invest 93W is a major source of uncertainty in
the forecast. The GFS still takes it out to the east to about 152E,
then takes it northwestward, to north of Agrihan, on Sunday. But
the ECMWF now takes it ESE to near 13N152E, then brings it back
WNW through the Marianas between Tinian and Rota on Sunday. This
seems unlikely, but we will keep 93W under close watch. To further
increase uncertainty, satellite seems to show 93W moving southward
along about 147.5E, but it also appears to be weakening with warming
cloud tops. And now, JTWC has just issued a Tropical Cyclone
Formation Alert on this system. Stay tuned for further developments!

EURO brings the remnants north of Saipan. The models are not happy with it anymore.

GFS also much much weaker. Only 999 mb passing east of the islands.

1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 27W (TWENTYSEVEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 282
NM NORTH OF CHUUK, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS AN AREA OF FLARING CONVECTION CENTRALLY LOCATED OVER A LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 191704Z 89GHZ MHS MICROWAVE
IMAGE DEPICTS A DEEP CONVECTIVE MASS WITH EVIDENCE OF FORMATIVE
BANDING IN BOTH THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLES. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS PLACED WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE PGTW SATELLITE
FIX AND THE AFOREMENTIONED MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY
IS ASSESSED AT 25 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM T1.0
TO T1.5 (25 KNOTS) FROM KNES AND PGTW RESPECTIVELY. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY A 191138Z METOP-B ASCAT IMAGE
SHOWING 25 KNOTS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT. ENVIRONMENTAL
ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT THE SYSTEM IS IN AN AREA OF LOW (5-10 KNOTS)
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND IS TRACKING THROUGH AN AREA OF WARM
(31 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SSTS). TD 27W IS LACKING AN
ORGANIZED OUTFLOW CHANNEL, HOWEVER, IT IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTHEAST
OF A TUTT CELL. THUS THE LIMITED POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS BEING ENHANCED
BY THE TUTT CELL. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN TRACKING TO THE SOUTHEAST AND
IS CURRENTLY QUASI-STATIONARY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A NEAR
EQUATORIAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE SOUTHWEST AND A BUILDING
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THIS IS THE INITIAL PROGNOSTIC REASONING AND SETS THE
FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FOR TROPICAL DEPRESSION 27W.
B. TD 27W IS FORECAST TO TRACK NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
NORTHEAST. AFTER TAU 48, THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK MORE NORTH-NORTHWEST
AS IT ROUNDS THE RIDGE AXIS. GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST TO
OCCUR THROUGH TAU 24, PEAKING AT 35 KNOTS. AROUND TAU 24, THE
ENVIRONMENT WILL BECOME UNFAVORABLE DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR, THE RESULT OF THE SYSTEM?S PROXIMITY TO TY 25W. AFTER TAU
48, THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN A WEAKENING TREND AS IT INTERACTS WITH
TYPHOON 25W, EVENTUALLY BECOMING ABSORBED BY TY 25W BY TAU 96.
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE LATER TAUS FOR
THE TRACK DIRECTION, HOWEVER, THE INITIAL PERIOD OF QUASI-
STATIONARY MOTION CAUSES A HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY, LENDING LOW
CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.//

...TROPICAL DEPRESSION 27W DEVELOPS EAST OF THE MARIANAS...

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------------
None.

SUMMARY OF 700 AM CHST...2100 UTC...INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------
Location...12.2N 151.7E

About 450 miles east-southeast of Saipan
About 455 miles east-southeast of Tinian
About 455 miles east-southeast of Rota
About 475 miles east of Guam
About 325 miles north of Chuuk

Maximum sustained winds...30 mph
Present movement...southeast...135 degrees at 3 mph.

----------------------
At 700 AM ChST...2100 UTC...the center of Tropical Depression 27W
was located near latitude 12.2 degrees North and longitude 151.7
degrees East...drifting southeast at 3 mph. Tropical Depression 27W
is expected to loop slowly around to a west-northwest heading by
tonight...then increase its forward speed as it heads northwest on
Saturday. This track takes it to within 85 miles northeast of Saipan
Sunday morning as a minimal tropical storm.

Maximum sustained winds are 30 mph. Tropical Depression 27W is
forecast to become a minimal 40 mph tropical storm early Saturday,
then maintain that intensity as it passes Saipan. Once past Saipan,
Tropical Depression 27W is expected to weaken as it moves away to
the north and is absorbed into the large circulation of Typhoon Lan
south of Japan.

NEXT ADVISORY
-------------
The next scheduled advisory will be issued by the National Weather
Service at 200 PM this afternoon.

1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM 27W (TWENTYSEVEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 345 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF GUAM, HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED MULTI-SPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS AN AREA OF BUILDING CONVECTION CENTRALLY LOCATED OVER A
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 192026Z 27GHZ WINDSAT
MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICTS FORMATIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A CENTRAL
DEEP CONVECTIVE AREA FROM BOTH THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN SEMI-
CIRCLES. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED
ON THE PGTW SATELLITE FIX AND EXTRAPOLATION FROM A 192224Z OSCAT
IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS HEDGED SLIGHTLY ABOVE
THE PGTW DVORAK ESTIMATE OF T2.0 (30 KNOTS) AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED OSCAT IMAGE SHOWING 35 AND 40 KNOT WIND BARBS.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT THE SYSTEM IS IN AN AREA OF LOW
(5-10 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND IS TRACKING THROUGH WARM
(31 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SSTS). TS 27W HAS DEVELOPED
A POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL THAT IS FLOWING INTO A TUTT CELL. THE
SYSTEM HAS BEEN TRACKING TO THE SOUTH UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A NEAR
EQUATORIAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE SOUTHWEST AND A BUILDING
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY HAS CHANGED AS PEAK INTENSITIES HAVE
INCREASED DUE TO A POSSIBLE RAPID INTENSIFICATION SCENARIO.
B. TS 27W IS FORECAST TO TRACK NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE
NORTHEAST. AFTER TAU 48, THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK MORE NORTH-NORTHWEST
AS IT ROUNDS THE RIDGE AXIS. DUE TO THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL
BEING ENHANCED BY THE TUTT CELL, A PERIOD OF RAPID INTENSIFICATION
IS FORECAST TO OCCUR THROUGH TAU 36, PEAKING AT 60 KNOTS. AFTER TAU
48, TS 27W WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS THE ENVIRONMENT BECOMES
UNFAVORABLE DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, THE RESULT OF
THE SYSTEMS PROXIMITY TO TYPHOON 25W. THE WEAKENING TREND WILL
PERSIST UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS ABSORBED BY TY 25W AROUND TAU 96.
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN STRONG AGREEMENT IN THE LATER TAUS FOR
THE TRACK DIRECTION. THE INITIAL TRACK DIRECTION HAS NOT TURNED TO
THE NORTHWEST AS RAPIDLY AS FORECAST CAUSING UNCERTAINTY IN THE
INITIAL FORECAST TRACK. THIS UNCERTAINTY, COMBINED WITH THE COMPLEX
NATURE OF THE FORECAST TRACK, LENDS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC
TRACK FORECAST.//
