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

08W's (UNNAMED) circulation remain on its developing stage, with most of its convective rainbands south of the low-level center. Below are the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

DEVELOPING RAINBANDS - still over water (off the far Western Pacific Ocean)...not affecting any land areas. 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 100 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 300 mm (high) near the center of 08W (UNNAMED). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).

TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH

Tropical Disturbance 92W (LPA/1010 MB) quasi-stationary east of Northern Luzon or off the Philippine Sea. Its possible center was located near lat 16.4N lon 132.4E...about 1075 km East of Isabela, PH...with 1-min maximum sustained winds of 30 kph near the center. The 24-Hr. Tropical Cyclone Formation Potential on this system remains @ 20% [Low]. View the latest satellite flash loop on this disturbance.

CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: WEAK >> Cloudy with possible occasional showers or thunderstorms will be expected along the following affected areas: WESTERN SECTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL LUZON Light to moderate SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow.

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) TUE 12 JULY POSITION: 18.7N 155.5E.
*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 08W, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 850 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF IWO TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
(MSI) DEPICTS A COALESCING, BUT STILL ELONGATED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH TWO MAIN DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDS
CURVING TOWARDS THE CENTER FROM THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN QUADRANTS.
DEEP CONVECTION REMAINS LIMITED OVER THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE
SYSTEM DUE TO UPPER-LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH
A TUTT CELL LOCATED NEAR 22N 150E. A 112202Z SSMIS 91H GHZ IMAGE
SHOWS THE TWO SPIRALING RAINBANDS WRAPPING INTO THE NORTHEASTERN
SECTION OF THE LLCC. A 112340Z ASCAT PASS, WHICH CAPTURED THE ENTIRE
LLCC, SHOWS 15 TO 25 KNOT WINDS NEAR THE CENTER WITH 30 KNOT WINDS
DISPLACED APPROXIMATELY ONE DEGREE FROM THE CENTER OVER THE
NORTHEAST QUADRANT. UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT TD 08W
IS IN AN AREA OF WEAK (05-10 KNOTS) EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
WITH GOOD DIVERGENCE ALOFT OVER THE EASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE. ANIMATED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SMALLER TUTT CELL TO THE NORTHEAST OF TD
08W TO BE FILLING, WHICH IS ALLOWING FOR A POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL
TO STRENGTHEN INTO A LARGER TUTT CELL FARTHER TO THE EAST LOCATED
NEAR 26N 176W. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF THE
REFERENCED ASCAT PASS, SSMIS IMAGE, AND ANIMATED MSI WITH FAIR
CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE PGTW DVORAK
INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 30 KNOTS...(
