Light to moderate SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow.
HAIMA's (EGAY) circulation continues to reorganize while over the South China Sea. Most of its intense raincloud convection remains to the south and southwest of the low-level circulation center (LLCC). Below are the summary of the depression's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea), but with some of its scattered bands affecting Southern China & Hainan Island 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 150 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 400 mm (very high) southwest of the center of 06W (EGAY).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) WED 22 JUNE POSITION: 20.4N 112.7E.
*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 06W (HAIMA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 140 NM
SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY SHOWS TWO
DISTINCT VORTICES SPINNING AROUND EACH OTHER FORMING ONE BROAD LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION. THE CONVECTIVE BANDS REMAIN LOOSELY ORGANIZED AND
SHALLOW. A 220138Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS WEAK CENTRAL WINDS 15-20 KNOTS,
HOWEVER JUST TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE CENTER ARE 25-30 KNOT
WIND BARBS. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE ABOVE ANIMATION AND
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 25 KNOTS FROM
PGTW AND KNES. THE SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO TRACK MORE NORTHWESTWARD AS
THE STEERING RIDGE TO THE NORTH DRIFTED TO THE EAST. THE TD REMAINS
IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH MODERATE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND SUBSIDENCE ALOFT. IT WILL BARELY MAINTAIN TD INTENSITY AS
IT TRACKS TOWARDS SOUTHERN CHINA, NAKE LANDFALL AND DISSIPATE BY TAU
24. THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT. THIS
TRACK FORECAST IS ON TOP OF BUT SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN CONSENSUS TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE RECENT SLOWDOWN OF THE SYSTEM...(more)
