Agreed with the post above, happy the models have tamed but this is still evolving and we still have a lot of cloud cover there. It not red alert any more but Im not going to turn away from it just yet. Still could be a flood maker.

Re: WPAC: INVEST 94W
Last 12 hours she really got her act together. I wouldnt be surprised at the very least JMA puts out a minor TD today.

Shear is very low and is decreasing. SSTs are high.. This could be at least 35-kts later!

Re: WPAC: INVEST 94W - JMA (Tropical Depression)
well could be a 10 min depression or whatever their data shows but not 1 min as all data doesn't support right now...

Re: WPAC: INVEST 94W - JMA (Tropical Depression)
AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 7.8N 136.2E,
APPROXIMATELY 100 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF KOROR, PALAU. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS FLARING CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH A FAIRLY DEFINED MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION. HOWEVER, A
181205Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS NO IDENTIFIABLE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION.
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM KOROR DEPICT WEAK AND VARIABLE WINDS,
SUPPORTING THE ASCAT DATA. A 181205Z AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE
ADDITIONALLY DEPICTS SOME DRY AIR WRAPPING IN FROM THE SOUTH WHICH
CAN ALSO BE SEEN IN THE TOTAL PRCIPITABLE WATER LOOP. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS REVEALS THE AREA IS EQUATORWARD OF THE RIDGE AXIS WITH FAIR
OUTFLOW AND LOW TO MODERATE (10 TO 15 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS LOW.
