The Tropical Disturbance (92W) off the Philippine Sea has been upgraded by Japan Meteorological Agency as Tropical Storm TOKAGE (92W)...currently "exposed" with most of its raincloud convection displaced to the southwest. "Exposed" is a common term used in tropical cyclone analysis as a low-level center without or with less convective rainclouds, & being affected by strong upper-level winds (aka. Vertical Wind Shear). TOKAGE is a japanese word for a kind of lizard (Lacerta). This system is not a threat to the Philippines and will not affect otherwise.

Boats and ships along the Philippine Sea should closely monitor the progress of TOKAGE (92W).

FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 1 day)*

TOKAGE (92W) is expected to turn ENE to NE-ward and will maintain its strength within the next 24 hours. This storm is currently having a Direct Cyclone Interaction (aka. Fujiwhara Effect) with the powerful MA-ON located to its NE, and is likely to be absorbed into MA-ON's southern rainbands in the coming days. Below is the summary of the 1-day forecast for this system.

TOMORROW MORNING (SAT):  Remains over the Philippine Sea...almost stationary after drifting slowly NE-ward...about 1010 km ENE of Virac, Catanduanes, PH [8AM JUL 16: 14.5N 133.5E @ 65kph].

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 65 km/hr (35 knots) with higher gusts. TOKAGE (92W) is a minimal Tropical Storm on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. This system will maintain its strength through the next 24 hours. TOKAGE is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 370 kilometers (200 nautical miles) across.
