RMKS/
1. WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC AREA (180 TO MALAY PENINSULA):
A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY: NONE.
B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90W) HAS PERSISTED NEAR 4.7N
136.3E, APPROXIMATELY 190 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF PALAU. ANIMATED ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS PERSISTENT FORMATIVE CONVECTIVE
BANDING OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PERIPHERIES. A 051042Z MHS 89GHZ
MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATES DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING AROUND A
BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS A
MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH DIFFLUENT EASTERLY OUTFLOW OFFSET
BY MODERATE TO HIGH (20-25KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. SST VALUES ARE
HIGHLY CONDUCIVE AT 30-31C. GLOBAL MODELS SHOW A SLOW NORTHWESTWARD
TRACK OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS WITH GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 13 TO 18 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1006 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS
IS LOW.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR
5.0N 139.7E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 5.4N 140.2E, APPROXIMATELY 272 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF YAP. THE 06000Z POSITION HAS BEEN UPDATED BASED ON A
REANALYSIS OF AVAILABLE SATELLITE DATA, AND RELOCATED APPROXIMATELY 180NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE PREVIOUSLY ASSESSED 060000Z POSITION. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS PERSISTENT FLARING CONVECTION
OVER THE STILL DISORGANIZED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC). A 060101Z ASCAT
METOP-B SCATTEROMETER PARTIAL PASS REVEALED THE WESTERN SIDE OF 90W TO
HAVE A CONSISTENT WIND FIELD OF 10-15KTS FLOWING INTO THE LLC WITH FEW
SMALL AREAS OF 20KTS. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS A MARGINALLY
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH DIFFLUENT WESTERLY OUTFLOW, LOW TO MODERATE
(10-15KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND VERY WARM (31-32C) SSTS. GLOBAL
MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT 90W WILL CONTINUE ON A NORTHERLY TRACK
TOWARDS YAP THEN A NORTHWESTWARD TURN TOWARDS THE PHILIPPINES AND THERE
IT WILL CONTINUE ON A SLOW AND STEADY TRACK WITH GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION.
THIS IS ALSO IN LINE WITH AN MJO SIGNAL EMERGING OVER THE MARITIME
CONTINENT AND MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE WESTERN PACIFIC, THUS AIDING THE
SYSTEM IN GAINING STRONGER WESTERLY WINDS WHICH WILL ASSIST IT IN
BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED
AT 13 TO 18 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1006 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS LOW.

12z GFS too bullish Hayabusa?

[wxman57]

GFS is the only global model predicting more than a weak low or a TD out of this disturbance.

[dexterlabio]

Hoping this could be a slight rainmaker for the Philippines, if El Niño is indeed coming then we need every bit of rain we can get to store.

[dexterlabio]

But with the MJO support it's quite a surprise that the current consensus is this storm being a weak TD at best?

[Hayabusa]

But with the MJO support it's quite a surprise that the current consensus is this storm being a weak TD at best?

Yeah unlike with Surigae which formed in a similar timeframe, models were so adamant about it becoming an intense storm.

Upgraded to medium.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR
8.2N 138.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.2N 136.4E, APPROXIMATELY 101 NM WEST OF
YAP. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION (LLC) WITH FLARING CONVECTION AROUND THE LLC AND FRAGMENTED
FORMATIVE BANDING ALONG THE OUTER PERIPHERY. A 090050Z ASCAT-C PASS
REVEALS AN ELONGATED LLC WITH A SWATH OF 20 KNOT WINDS OFFSET TO THE
NORTH. A RECENT YAP SOUNDING SHOWS A DRY AND STABLE ENVIRONMENT WHILE THE
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS WITH A FLAT
PRESSURE TENDENCY OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS
MARGINALLY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH MODERATE POLEWARD
OUTFLOW ALOFT AND WARM (30-31C) SST, OFFSET BY MODERATE TO HIGH (20-25KT)
VWS. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT 90W WILL GRADUALLY DEVELOP AS IT
TRACKS WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD THE PHILIPPINES. 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
MEDIUM.

GPM is making it appear a little stronger than it actually is due to chance convective structure. Regardless, it's probably about time to open the door on the 2023 Pacific Typhoon Season.
