Very interesting looking system. Seems to have a nice circulation.

Re: WPAC: INVEST 98W
NWS
The main player in the forecast the next few days will be the
tropical disturbance approaching the Marianas from the east. Near
its center is a weak circulation, while all the higher winds are
to the north. The latest ECMWF-HiRes takes the center near Saipan.
In this scenario, the winds stay weak over the forecast zones and
the only noticeable affects will be a change in direction and an
increase in showers. The 12Z GFS takes it over Rota. In this case,
the higher winds may reach Saipan, particularly northern Saipan
waters, which may see wind speeds as high as 20 knots. Went ahead
and built the grids on this scenario, so they represent a worst
case, which is still not all that bad.

Re: WPAC: INVEST 98W
Even NWS Guam agreeing it is a TD now. I wonder what JTWC is thinking.
Have re-worked the forecast to account for the passage of 98W
across the Marianas Wed and Wed night. The models are not showing
any development as 98W moves by, but it is currently producing
winds of 20-30 MPH north of the center and lots of rain and
lightning. Upper-level convergence may stifle 98W somewhat if the
models are correct, but 98W as it is now is enough to warrant a
forecast of locally heavy rain and moderate to strong winds. If
98W moves between Rota and Tinian as forecast, Guam and Rota will
likely see only moderate to fresh winds, but Saipan might see
winds reaching 25 mph at times Wed or Wed evening. Rainfall is
highly uncertain, but several inches is possible in the heaviest
rain.
The uncertainty factor is high in general in this forecast, as the
models insist on keeping 98W weak when it is currently looking a
lot like a tropical depression. The forecast was made to be a
little pessimistic, and if the models are correct there may be less
wind and rain than forecast. On the other hand, if 98W maintains
its present status as it moves by tomorrow, the forecast would
turn out to be pretty close. Island residents should monitor this
situation closely, as indeed we will be as well.
98W has shown a marked daily convective cycle the last couple of
days, with increased deep convection and a lot of lightning during
the morning,then decreasing by late afternoon and evening. But
since Monday afternoon the overall condition of 98W has been
fairly steady with little change in its wind field. Upper level
winds are not especially favorable for development the next couple
of days with an upper low northeast of 98W. As a result, it
appears likely to move through the Marianas with little change in
intensity and possibly producing quite a bit of rain and lightning.

Re: WPAC: CHABA - Tropical Storm
We have Tropical Storm Chaba
I find it hard to believe it's supposed to be a typhoon in 2 days. Not sure where JMA is getting that from.
I'm also not entirely convinced it's a tropical storm, but it's definitely a bad call that JTWC hasn't upgraded it to a depression. It was ready 24 hours ago.

I find it hard to believe it's supposed to be a typhoon in 2 days. Not sure where JMA is getting that from.
I'm also not entirely convinced it's a tropical storm, but it's definitely a bad call that JTWC hasn't upgraded it to a depression. It was ready 24 hours ago.

SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT//
REF/A/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/270600Z SEP 16//
AMPN/REF IS TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (WTPN21 PGTW 270600)//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
150 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 14.6N 150.9E TO 15.0N 144.9E
WITHIN THE NEXT 06 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 18 TO 23 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 271930Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 14.6N 149.6E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 14 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 98W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 14.7N 152.2E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 14.7N 149.6E, APPROXIMATELY
280 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF GUAM. ANIMATED 3.9 MICRONS IR SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS DEEP FLARING CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY
OF A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 271629Z SSMI 89GHZ IMAGE
SHOWS A WEAK DEEP CONVECTIVE BAND OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE WITH
FRAGMENTED CONVECTIVE BANDING ELSEWHERE WRAPPING BROADLY AROUND THE
CONSOLIDATING LLCC. RECENT 271148Z METOP B ASCAT DATA INDICATES 20
TO 25 KNOT WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY 50 NM FROM THE LLCC WITH
WEAKER WINDS OVER THE LLCC AND THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE. UPPER-LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES A MODERATELY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED
BY WEAK EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND MODERATE TO STRONG (20 TO 25 KNOT)
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). A TUTT CELL TO THE NORTHWEST CONTINUES TO
HINDER DEVELOPMENT BY ENHANCING THE VWS. ADDITIONALLY, ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SUBSIDENCE ALONG THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT. DYNAMIC
MODELS INDICATE A WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TRACK TOWARD GUAM. CPA TO GUAM
IS EXPECTED NEAR TAU 24. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 18 TO 23 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED
TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. IN VIEW OF THE OVERALL ANALYSIS, THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE
NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
282000Z.//
