WPAC: KIROGI - Dissipated

Model guidance indicates that it will remain at LPA to Tropical Depression status as it approaches and traverses Mindanao and/or Visayas within the next 3 days, and with a shot of becoming a Tropical Storm over the South China Sea.

It may reach Southern/Central Vietnam 4-5 days from now, possibly close to the areas impacted by the recent TyphoonDamrey. While 90W may remain a weak system once it reaches Vietnam, additional rainfall to the areas that got copious rainfall amounts from Damrey will definitely be a big threat/problem.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 5.0N 132.0E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 6.0N 128.8E, APPROXIMATELY 350
NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF PALAU. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A BROAD BUT
CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 151731Z SSMI
85GHZ PARTIAL MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING
INTO THE WEST QUADRANT. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW.
GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
ACROSS MINDANAO ISLAND. LAND INTERATION WILL PREVENT SUBSTANTIAL
DEVELOPMENT UNTIL THE SYSTEM TRACKS OVER WATER WEST OF MINDANAO
AFTER 36 TO 48 HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED
AT 15 TO 20 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 UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.

Now centered near/over Mindanao. It may become a Tropical Depression over the Sulu Sea tomorrow(Friday PhT), before it crosses Palawan island and emerges into the South China Sea—where it has a shot of becoming a Tropical Storm.

Those in Southern and Central Vietnam should closely keep an eye on this one. While there is a chance of it remaining a weak system once it reaches Vietnam, it is still a big concern as it may affect/threaten areas that were heavily impacted by the recent Typhoon Damrey.

1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
200 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 7.4N 122.7E TO 10.2N 113.3E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 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 161800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 7.7N 121.8E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 18

2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 7.7N 121.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.0N 120.8E, APPROXIMATELY
175NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF PUERTO PRINCESA, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A WIDESPREAD AREA OF
DISORGANIZED CONVECTION THAT IS BEGINNING TO CONSOLIDATE WEST OF
MINDANAO. A 161800Z HIMAWARI INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGE DEPICTS
INCREASING CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A MODERATE AMOUNT OF
WIND SHEAR (5-20 KNOTS). EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW IS FAVORABLE. POLEWARD
OUTFLOW IS MODERATELY FAVORABLE BUT WILL HAVE LIMITED INTERACTION
WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM, WHICH WILL LIMIT DEVELOPMENT. SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORABLE AT 27-28 DEGREES CELSIUS. GLOBAL
NUMERICAL MODELS FORECAST 90W TO PROPAGATE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
THROUGH THE SULU SEA AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. 90W
WILL INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS WEST-NORTHWESTWARD OVER OPEN WATER WITH
FAVORABLE TO MODERATE UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 18 TO 23 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS HIGH.

Tcs that hit south of Ho Chi Minh are typically very deadly. Linda in 1997 was a strong TS and it killed more than 3,000. May be the most vulnerable area in the entire WPAC aside from a Haiphong direct hit

What is that?

[doomhaMwx]

Looks like it's over the South China Sea now, just off the west coast of Palawan. Recent satellite and microwave images indicate an organizing and strengthening system, and there is a good chance that JTWC will also upgrade it into a TC @ 12Z.

Here are some ground obs from select location in Palawan as of 6PM local time

Models have landfall north of Ho Chi Minh for this one, even ECMWF which was previously more south has trended higher.
