WPAC: Ex DIANMU

[KWT]

Well given the other agencies aren't seeing anything, and its quite clear there isn't anything of note in the region they are saying, I'd not be too worried....

Maybe the Govt has put more pressure on them to 'upgrade' things quicker?

[StormingB81]

Well the radar is looking better i dont know if that will still be 96w but it is starting to flare up but doesnt look to be moving at all so i guess we will see

[Cookie]

well if you guys are confused what hope do the rest of us have?

[StormingB81]

I just do it as a hobby im no professional...lol we would be trouble if it was left up to me..haha!

[oaba09]

Ok...I'm seriously confused LOL....We had some heavy rains earlier but it was mainly caused by the monsoon.....

Oaba...haven;t seen you in awhile how have u been? and its bad when people who are next to the storm are confused about it..lol

Im doing ok, thanks for asking..........

PAGASA lowered the system's category to tropical depression based on their latest bulletin...

[oaba09]

There's a big area of convection heading west....maybe that's the one that PAGASA is tracking......If it hits the country, it would bring some much needed rainfall.....

[KWT]

hat convection seems to be enhanced by the ULL, its infact nearly exactly the same type of set-up as we have in the Atlantic right now with Ex-Colin.

[StormingB81]

So that huge storm system would have no way of forming into anything because to an untrained eye that looks pretty impressive...

[KWT]

Possibly could develop into something but we will have to watch, its certainly full of convection thats for sure!

[dhoeze]

Guys,

Is this a new system or part of 96W powered by the ITZC?

[StormingB81]

Possibly could develop into something but we will have to watch, its certainly full of convection thats for sure!

Well I dont know about any where else but we have had ALOT of rain here something like that where to come here weather it develops or not there would be in my OPINION which shouldnt be taken as a foracsting tool would be bad because I think it would cause some flooding. But I am no expert.

[KWT]

dhoeze, its a blow up related to the strong upper divergence caused by the ULL that is present at the moment to the NW of the convection.

[dhoeze]

I see. Thanks KWT!

[Typhoon10]

Guys, is it me or does it look like its trying to organise, pulling all the cloud from the south?

[Typhoon Hunter]

I just had to edit post, I getting confused with 96W and 97W lol.

Yes it does look like it's getting together pretty nicely with sustained convection over that area for a while now.

[StormingB81]

As good as this thing looked today I am a little suprised that JMA doesnt call it a low yet. Hope noone gets suprised by this if something odes form out of this.

[KWT]

Looking a bit better right there in that image, that northern area of convection has got a great inflow from the south as the ULL keeps strong upper divergence across the region.

[StormingB81]

wow look at the cluster that seemed to break off near okinawa

[KWT]

There is an amazing amount of convection in the WPAC right now but hard to make out anything in 96W supposed region that is developing really.

[StormingB81]

well 97 is gone like we knew it would be now we gotta watch all of this...like you said alot of convection
