TORAJI (03W) WEAKENED INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AFTER MOVING
INLAND NEAR THE VIETNAM-CHINA BORDER.

*THIS IS THE FINAL UPDATE ON THIS SYSTEM.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: TORAJI is expected to dissipate over land
(Northern Vietnam) within 03 to 06 hours due to absence of
water vapor and dry air entrainment


+ EFFECTS: TORAJI's dissipating cloud circulation continues to
cover portions of Northern Vietnam and portions of IndoChina,
bringing widespread rains across the area. Flooding can be
expected along the low-lying areas of Northern Vietnam and
Western Hainan as moderate to heavy rains can be expected
today
.

+ TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH: The Tropical Disturbance (90W/LPA/
1008 MB)
over the Philippine Sea has started to cross the
island of Samar. It was located about 215 km ESE of Masbate
or in the vicinity of Borongan, Eastern Samar (11.6N 125.5E)
...with wind speeds of 30 km/hr and was moving WNW at 15
km/hr towards Western Samar-Masbate Area. This disturbance
will be closely monitored for possible development into a
Tropical Depression (TD) once it reaches the Visayan Sea
or the South China Sea. Kindly check out the latest Western

of Guam and 2,250 km ESE of Eastern Mindanao (4.3N 146.7E)
...with wind speeds of 35 km/hr..moving WNW slowly. Majority
of forecast computer models shows this disturbance becoming

projected path shows Northern Luzon, Taiwan or Okinawa Area
