SUBJ/SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE WESTERN AND
/SOUTH PACIFIC OCEANS/100600Z-110600ZJUL2011//
RMKS/
1. WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC AREA (180 TO MALAY PENINSULA):
A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY: NONE.
B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 24.0N
123.8E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 25.3N 122.3E, APPROXIMATELY 95 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF TAIPEI, TAIWAN. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY CONTINUES TO DEPICT A FULLY EXPOSED AND ELONGATED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH NO CENTRAL OR BANDING CONVECTION. A
100229Z TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGE CONFIRMS THE POSITION OF THE LLCC AND
THE LACK OF ANY CONVECTIVE BANDING STRUCTURE. A 100059Z ASCAT PASS
DEPICTS AN ELONGATED CIRCULATION WITH 10 TO 15 KNOT WINDS AT THE
CENTER AND ELEVATED (20 TO 25 KNOT) GRADIENT INDUCED WINDS EAST OF
THE LLCC. OBSERVATIONS FROM TAIPEI AT 10/05Z INDICATE 1001 MSLP WITH
10 KNOT ESE WINDS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO INDICATE HIGH
(30+ KNOTS) NORTHERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND CONVERGENT FLOW ALOFT.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS LOW.

JMA dropped this with the 12Z analysis, not even calling it a low pressure area let alone a tropical depression. Looking at the various agency maps across the region, only KMA is still analyzing it as a TD.
Latest IR sat; can you find the center?
