EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

NOCK-TEN's (JUANING) circulation has started to deteriorate due to land interaction and increasing upper-level winds (Moderate Vertical Wind Shear). Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - weakening while over the Gulf of Tonkin. (click here to know more about CDO).
INNER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the west coast of Hainan Island & the east coast of Northern Vietnam Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-95 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the rest of Hainan, Northern & Central Vietnam, and the coastal areas of Western Guangdong . Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 350 mm (high) near the center of NOCK-TEN (JUANING). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 0 to 3 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Western Hainan & Northern Vietnam today. Minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of Central & Northern Vietnam & Guangdong Province.

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) SAT 30 JULY POSITION: 20.3N 109.0E.
*TROPICAL STORM 10W, NOCK-TEN, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 16 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES
THAT KNOCK-TEN HAS MAINTAINED VIGOROUS CONVECTION DESPITE THE
EFFECTS OF INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SEASONAL ANTICYCLONE OVER EASTERN CHINA. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER
THE SYSTEM IS ESTIMATED AT 30 KNOTS AND WILL INCREASE ALONG TRACK.
CONVECTION IS ALREADY BEING DISPLACED TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THE INTENSITY ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON
SEVERAL SURFACE REPORTS IN THE AREA AS WELL AS A PGTW DVORAK
INTENSITY ANALYSIS. TS 10W IS TRACKING INTO THE WARM WATERS OF THE
GULF OF TONKIN, YET THE EFFECTS OF THE WARMER WATERS ARE BEING
MITIGATED BY INCREASING SHEAR. MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN EXCELLENT
AGREEMENT IN STEERING KNOCK-TEN INTO THE VIETNAMESE COAST NEAR TAU
