well I really hope they are really prepared and aware of this. it was reported in the local news that tropical cyclone formation is not expected from this. they warned about the rains from a low pressure area but people could've taken it seriously if they are expecting a real storm out of this. people tend to have that behavior.

this is really going to be another Doksuri. Doksuri might be a sheared storm but it displayed really huge amounts of convection in its lifetime. and this is exactly what our future storm is showing. the center appears to be in the southern part of that growing CDO.

Strong Low Pressure Area (93W/1004 MB) heading towards the Visayas. Its center was located about 572 km ENE of Surigao City or 596 km ESE of Borongan City (10.3N 130.7E)...max winds of 30 kph...moving WNW at 28 kph towards Samar-Leyte Area. Its rainbands will bring occasional rains with squalls and thunderstorms across Bicol, Visayas and Northern Mindanao beginning tonight until Wednesday, Dec 26. This LPA will also enhance Northeast Monsoon (aka. Amihan) - bringing windy & cloudy conditions w/ occasional rains, squalls & dangerously rough seas across Eastern & Southern Luzon beginning tomorrow, Christmas Day.

isn't that from the typhoon2000 website? it also says this system is not expected to be a storm.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 7.4N 133.5E
IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.8N 130.6E, APPROXIMATELY 280 NM WEST-NORTHWEST
OF KOROR, PALAU. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS A
CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) EMBEDDED WITHIN AN
AREA OF TROUGHING AND ADJACENT TO AN AREA OF CONVERGENT,
NORTHEASTERLY SURGE WINDS. A 241138Z SSMIS 37 GHZ IMAGE SHOWS
IMPROVED CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A DEFINED LLCC AND
INDICATES THAT THE LLCC IS POSITIONED NEAR THE LARGE CLUSTER OF
PERSISTENT, DEEP CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION HAS SHIFTED NORTH
AND IS BASED UPON THE AFOREMENTIONED IMAGERY. THE INITIAL INTENSITY
IS BASED UPON RECENT SCATTEROMETER DATA AND SHIP OBSERVATIONS IN THE
AREA SHOWING STRONG (20-25 KNOTS) NORTHEAST WINDS NORTH OF THE LLCC
AND WEAKER 10 TO 15 KNOT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE
SYSTEM. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS FAVORABLE POLEWARD OUTFLOW
OFFSET BY MODERATE, EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (10-20 KNOTS). SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORABLE (28-30 DEGREES CELSIUS) FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED
AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE
NEAR 1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO HIGH.

SHEARING OUT WITH A TROF EXTENDING NW TOWARD A NEW LOW PRESSURE CENTER
DEVELOPING UNDER THE LARGE/COLD/PERSISTENT CONVECTIVE SHIELD... AS SUCH
THIS PRESSURE CENTER HAS BEEN TRANSITIONING THE WIND FIELD CENTER LOCATION
FROM THE TROF TO THIS NEW AREA...SO THERE SEEMS TO BE A BROAD COL FROM
THE CONVECTION TO THE OLD LLC. WITH THAT STATED...CONVECTION DOES WRAP
AT LEAST .4 ON LOG10 FOR DT OF 2.5 WHICH...COULD BE THE WIND SPEEDS IN
THE STRONG EASTERLIES WELL NORTH OF THE LLC...BUT IS UNREPRESENTATIVE FOR

MET IS 1.5. AND PT AGREES GIVEN DISTANCE FROM CENTER.
FT IS BASED ON MET.

could be 2.5 (tropical storm) but went with 1.5 because of something that isn't unrepresentative :roll:

look at that! southeastern quadrant is almost cloud-free... :D
as it heads west..Bopha-hit areas would not receive that much rain..

it just amazes me that they are spared...
but looking at that cdo....it may not be good for Central Philippines... :roll:

thanks! :lol:

if there would be any good news, that is the Bopha-striken areas won't get as much rains from Wukong. This almost looks like Son Tinh last November in terms of track and intensity.

Very good read regarding 27W's track and intensity and what we can expect out from this system



WDPN31 PGTW 250300
MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL DEPRESSION 27W WARNING NR 02//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 27W (WUKONG), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 515
NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER POSITIONED UNDER A CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST
FEATURE. CONSEQUENTLY, DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES HAVE INCREASED TO
30 KNOTS FROM BOTH PGTW AND RJTD. THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS
ASSESSED AT 30 KNOTS BASED ON THESE DVORAK ESTIMATES
AS WELL AS ON
THE CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION IN MICROWAVE IMAGERY, WHICH SHOWS
IMPROVED BANDING PRIMARILY CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE.
RECENT SHIP OBSERVATIONS, 180NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF THE CENTER, AND
SCATTEROMETRY DATA CONTINUE TO SHOW STRONG NORTHEASTERLY SURGE WINDS
OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS OVER THE PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. TD 27W IS
TRACKING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) ENTRENCHED OVER THE WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC
OCEAN.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TD 27W IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
THROUGH TAU 48 AS IT TRACKS TOWARD THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE STR.
THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY BEFORE TRACKING OVER
THE CENTRAL PHILIPPINE ISLANDS THEN RE-INTENSIFY OVER THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA TO A PEAK INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS BY TAU 72. DYNAMIC MODEL
GUIDANCE IS LIMITED BUT GENERALLY SUPPORTS A WESTWARD TO WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD TRACK DEPENDING ON INTENSITY. THE ECMWF SHOWS A WEAK
SYSTEM AND, THEREFORE, DEPICTS A WESTWARD TRACK WHILE GFS SHOWS A
MORE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TRACK AND A STRONGER SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE
GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND THE JTWC FORECAST IS POSITIONED
CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS WITH A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO OFFSET
THE BAROTROPIC MODEL, WHICH IS RECURVING TD 27W NORTHWARD THROUGH
THE STR.
C. IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, TD 27W IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN DUE TO
INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH A RENEWED
NORTHEASTERLY SURGE EXPECTED OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. AS THE SYSTEM
WEAKENS, IT WILL TURN WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TO SOUTHWESTWARD UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE LOW-LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW. OVERALL,
THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST.//
