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

06W's (EGAY) circulation still poorly organized due to unfavorable upper-level environment aloft. Below are the summary of the depression's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea). Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 50 mm (low to medium rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 75 mm (medium) near the center of 06W (EGAY). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).

CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy with widespread moderate to heavy on-&-off rains w/ squalls & thunderstorms will be expected along the following affected areas: WESTERN LUZON incl. METRO MANILA, CORREGIDOR & LUBANG ISLANDS, CALAMIAN GROUP, & MINDORO. Light to moderate SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow.

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) TUE 21 JUNE POSITION: 19.8N 116.9E.
*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 06W, LOCATED 250 NM SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG,
HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS.
RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED (IR) IMAGERY SHOWS SMALL POCKETS OF CONVEC-
TION ASSOCIATED WITH A BROAD CYCLONIC CIRCULATION ORBITING ABOUT A
LOOSELY DEFINED CENTER. ALSO EVIDENT IN IR IMAGERY IS GOOD OUTFLOW TO
THE SOUTHWEST, BUT VERY LITTLE OUTFLOW OR CONVECTION ON THE NORTHERN
SIDE OF THE SYSTEM. A 201752Z AMSU PASS SHOWS VERY LITTLE CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC), WITH MOST OF
THE CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERGENT INFLOW INTO
THE LLCC. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS JUST TO THE
SOUTHEAST OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IN A CONVERGENT REGION OF
WIND FLOW AND SUBJECT TO MODERATE AMOUNTS OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
(VWS) (20KTS). THE CONVERGENT FLOW AND MODERATE VWS ARE CONTRIBUTING
TO THE LACK OF SUSTAINED CONVECTION OVER THE LLCC. THE SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE ASIATIC
HIGH. THE ASIATIC HIGH IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE EAST OVER THE
NEXT 24 HOURS AND 06W WILL THEN TRACK ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH AND MAKE LANDFALL IN SOUTHERN CHINA..
