Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.

EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

16W's developing circulation remains sheared-off, with most of its rain-cloud convection located about 150 km to the south & SW of its low-level center. Below are the summary of the cyclone's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - None (click here to know more about CDO).
DEVELOPING RAINBANDS - still weak and disorganized...the southern and SW portion affecting the micronesian islands of Yap, Ulithi and Palau. Light to moderate winds (<35 kph) can be expected today. (click here to know more about Rainbands).
 6-HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 150 mm (light to heavy rain) can be expected along the developing rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 230 mm (heavy) located along 16W's periphery [view current NOAA's eTRaP graphic].
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - None (click here to know more about storm surge).

CURRENT ITCZ/MONSOON TROUGH INTENSITY: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy skies with scattered to widespread showers, rains & frequent thunderstorms can be expected along these following affected areas: MOST PARTS OF THE PHILIPPINES. Light to moderate SW, South, SE winds (not in excess of 35 kph) can be expected today. The prevailing strong La Niña conditions over the Pacific Ocean enhances the ITCZ to be more active across the Philippines.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, extended forecast, effects-hazards, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!

*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 16W, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 730 NM
SOUTHEAST OF KADENA, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
222139Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW A BROAD, ILL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL
POSITION BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED SSMIS IMAGE. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY IS BASED ON RJTD AND PGTW DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 25
KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE LLCC IS LOCATED IN AN AREA
OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND SUBSIDENCE TO THE NORTH INDUCED
BY A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT)..
