Tropical Storm NARI (0711) in WPAC

[CrazyC83]

Yet another WPAC invest on NRL. Doesn't look too bad.

[P.K.]

LOW PRESSURE AREA 1006 HPA NEAR 16N 139E ALMOST STATIONARY.

[Coredesat]

(2) AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 17.7N 139.8E,
APPROXIMATELY 390 NM NORTHWEST OF GUAM. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE DEVELOPING LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 101214Z ASCAT IMAGE INDICATES A
WEAK LLCC WITH 10-15 KNOT UNFLAGGED WINDS. THE 101558Z AMSR-E 36 GHZ
IMAGE SHOWED DEVELOPING CONVECTIVE BANDING BUT THE 85 GHZ IMAGE ONLY
SHOWED NARROW, WEAK CONVECTIVE BANDING. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
INDICATES A GENERALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND GOOD OVERALL OUTFLOW. HOWEVER, THERE IS A WEAK TUTT LOW
DEVELOPING NORTH OF THE LLCC WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
WHICH IS INHIBITING OUTFLOW OVER THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1008 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS POOR.

[Typhoon Hunter]

ECMWF is forecasting this one to develop. On the latest 12z run they're forecasting it to develop by about T+ 144hrs and head towards Taiwan and then into the South China Sea. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

[Typhoon Hunter]

91W is now a TD according to JMA:

TROPICAL DEPRESSION 1004 HPA AT 18N 138E NW SLOWLY.

I'm not 100% sure whether this is the disturbance ECMWF is picking up on, however they do have something form soon in that general area moving towards Taiwan.

GFS also progging development of a tropical system affecting Taiwan in the later hours of the 00z run.

Yep...TCFA has been issued for this area....Atlantic is not far behind the Wpac at the moment so hoping this will develop!

REMARKS:
122100Z POSITION NEAR 21.9N 134.2E.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 12W (NONAME) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 475 NM
SOUTHEAST OF NAHA, OKINAWA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 121706Z
AMSURE MICROWAVE AND ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY. THE WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS
(PGTW AND RJTD). CONVECTIVE BANDING INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE. TD 12W IS BEING STEERED BY THE SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTHEAST. THE STR WILL CONTINUE TO
STEER THE TD NORTHWESTWARD UNTIL TAU 72. THE LARGE TUTT CELL TO THE
EAST IS EXPECTED TO TRACK WEST-NORTHWEST DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD
AND PREVENT STRONGER POLEWARD OUTFLOW FROM SETTING IN. A COMBINATION
OF WARM WATERS AND LOW SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WILL ALLOW SOME INTENS-
IFICATION, HOWEVER, THE LACK OF A STRONG OUTFLOW CHANNEL WILL PREVENT
12W FROM BECOMING STRONGER THAN A WEAK TROPICAL STORM. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 121800Z IS 11 FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES
AND CANCELS REF A, NAVPACMETOCCEN 121621Z SEP 07 TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION ALERT (WTPN21 PGTW 121630). NEXT WARNINGS AT 130300Z,
130900Z, 131500Z AND 132100Z.//

It's about time, if I do say so myself. This thing has looked classifiable for quite some time . . . but it is typical JMA . . .

Already up to 45 kt, almost an STS...

[apocalypt-flyer]

This thing IS looking good. Might be another problem for South Korea/Japan.

[P.K.]

Nari has gone from a CI of T3.0 to T4.0 in just six hours so a STS now no doubt in the update in 30 min.
