WPAC: Tropical Depression 25W

#1 Postby HURAKAN » Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:04 pm

AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 7.5N 127.2E,
APPROXIMATELY 95 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF TANDAG, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES CYCLING DEEP CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC).
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR WITH GOOD DIVERGENCE ALOFT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED
TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. DUE TO A POORLY DEFINED LLCC AND CLOSE PROXIMITY
TO MINDANAO, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS POOR.

15/1133 UTC 6.7N 127.6E T1.0/1.0 95W -- West Pacific Ocean

It appears the Atlantic will win the title for most busy cyclone basin in the planet.

Really? I didn't know that. 2005 was indeed an amazing season.

Not exactly but it has been a really amazing year. The first time the Atlantic beats the WPAC since records began.

That system looks very good...But its close to land. I wonder if it can organize enough to become a depression before landfall?

I don't think I would want to live in the WPAC, imagine having to deal with 10 category 5 super typhoons like they did in 1997. This was a quiet year for them, but during strong El Nino years they can easily produce powerful storms and in large numbers.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 7.5N 127.2E, IS
NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.4N 125.0E, APPROXIMATELY 75 NM WEST-NORTHWEST OF
TANDAG, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDI-
CATES CONTINUED DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A NOW WELL DEFINED
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES
AN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE IS LOCATED OVER THE LLCC PRODUCING AN
ENVIRONMENT OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WITH A GOOD DIFFLUENT PATTERN
ALOFT. A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT EXISTS BETWEEN THE LLCC AND THE LAKE
BAIKAL HIGH LOCATED OVER CENTRAL CHINA AND MONGOLIA. THIS GRADIENT IS
FURTHER ENHANCING THE NORTHEAST MONSOONAL FLOW ON THE NORTHERN PERI-
PHERY OF THE DISTURBANCE BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE WELL AWAY FROM
THE CENTER OF THE LLCC. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED
AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1004 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO FAIR.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA IS EXPECTED! VIETNAM AND SOUTHERN CHINA SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THIS DEVELOPING DISTURBANCE!

Interesting, I thought they were done. But, you know the saying- too little too late. We're just two weeks away from wrapping up the biggest upset ever. 8-)

It will be interesting if it could slip under Vietnam and Thailand and cross into the alread active, Bay of Bengal.
