Tropical Disturbance 94w now subject for Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert....heading Hainan-Southern China area


Tropical Disturbance 94W/Pre-06W
  • 16.1N 116.8E
  • 400 nm South- SouthEast of Hong Kong
  • maximum sustained winds: 35 kph (19 knots)

  • minimum sea level pressure: 1005 MB
  • projected path: Hainan-Southern China area
  • currently moving west @ 15 kph (08 knots)
Cyclone Analysis and Observation

Tropical Disturbance 94w has already exit in the Philippine Area of Reponsibility, which means no possible threat at this moment to our country. Latest weather bulletin issued by Joint Typhoon Warning Center raised the system (94w) in to an active Tropical Cyclone. The agency issued Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert this morning and possible intensification might be anticipated. Tropical Disturbance had already raise by Japan Meteorological Agency in to a Tropical Depression with a minimum sea level pressure of 1004 MB. The 2-3 day long range forecasts track this system in to W-WNW direction heading Hainan-Southern China area. The latest imagery shows deepen convection is found along the western periphery of the Low-Level Circulation Center (LLCC). More weather updates and bulletin will be issue once this system will be formally raise by the other agency in to a fully-blown cyclone.

Tropical Disturbance 94w might become a cyclone within the next 6-12 hours...95w dissipated




Tropical Disturbance 94W

Weather Agency Bulletin
  • Japan Meteorological Agency-Tropical Depression
Latest Information
  • 15.9N 117.4E
  • 210 nm North-Northwest of Manila, Philippines
  • maximum sustained winds: 28 kph (15 knots)
  • gustiness winds: 37 kph (20 knots)
  • minimum sea level pressure: 1007 mb
  • moving west @ 20 kph towards South China Sea
The latest satellite reveals that deep convection of the Tropical Disturbance 94W is found along the western periphery of the of the LLCC (Low-Level Circulation Center). The said disturbance is expected to become an active cyclone within the next 6-12 hours as it moves to South China Sea or near Hainan. Numerical weather guidance models show the development of this disturbance but if this would be, it might just pack the wind speed of Minimal-Strong Tropical Depression based also to this current windspeed and the shear that might limit it's intensity.

While Tropical Disturbance 95w has already dissipated.

Tropical Disturbance 94w consolidates strength as it moves toward South China Sea....Tropical Cyclone Formation Potential is at 65%-85%




Tropical Disturbance 94w
  • 19.1N 119.8E
  • maximum sustained winds: 28 kph
  • gustiness winds: 37 kph
  • minimum sea level pressure: 1008 MB
  • 290 nm North of Manila, Philippines
Tropical Disturbance 94w has persisted and tracked to pass at Babuyan Island, over the Northern Luzon Strait today. Latest satellite imagery shows the system is moving under a region of increasing diffluence associated with the southwest side of the subtropical ridge which is forecast to reorganize after the passing area and consolidates more strength. Based also to the latest numerical weather guidance models issue, there is a big possibility that this will become an active cyclone in the next 12-36 hours. More datas justify the possible formation over the South China Sea as ECMWF (European Center MediumWeather Forecasts) runs this system in to NW-WNW direction towards East of Hainan and Southern China. The said system is embedded along the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone which greatly affect most part of the archipelago. Tropical Disturbance 94w is projected to dump rains as it gains strength associated with thunderstorms across Northern Luzon.

Tropical Disturbance 93w gains more strength as it moves toward Vietnam...94w slightly organized during the past 6 hours






Tropical Disturbance 93W
  • 14.8N 111.6E
  • 220 km NE of Nha Trang City, Vietnam
  • now currently over South China Sea
  • maximum sustained winds: 37 kph
  • minimum sea level pressure: 1006 mb
  • currently moving westward @ 24 kph
Based on the latest satellite imagery, there is a probablity that tropical disturbance 93w now over South China might develop an active cyclone within the next 12-24 hours. However if that would be the scenario, it would be a weak-strong tropical depression based also to it's exact location/environment and speed. Latest numerical weather guidance model also shows the possible formation of active disturbance near Vietnam. This active disturbance might dump moderate to heavy rainfall as it forecasts to move Central/Northern Vetnam with in the next 12-24 hours.

Tropical Disturbance 94W
  • 18.7N 124.5E
  • 450 km ESE of Basco, Batanes
  • now currently over Northern Philippine Sea
  • maximum sustained winds: 28 kph
  • minimum sea level pressure: 1008 mb
  • currently moving WNW @ 20 kph
Latest satellite imagery shows an organized circulation slightly during the past 6 hours. The chances of becoming an active disturbance has increases to 50% as weak diffluence in the upper levels and light vertical wind shear support a possible organization as it moves in to Northern Luzon. The said system is emedded along the dominant weather system that affecting the country which is the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone. Latest numerical weather guidance model,GFS, forecats this system to develop once it transverse Northern Luzon or over Northern South China Sea.

Remnants of Tropical Disturbance 92w transversing Visayas,,,another developing Tropical Disturbance spotter near Pacific



Shallow Low Pressure Area (Remnants of Tropical Disturbance 92w)
  • now off Western Visayas
  • 11.8N 122.2E
  • embedded along the active Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone
Remnants of Tropical Disturbance 92w is now transversing over Visayas as it forecasts to moves towards South China Sea tomorrow. It is expected to bring light to moderate rainfall with isolated thunderstorms along the area especially in the Western Visayas, Palawan and Mindoro area. The said disturbance is embedded along the active Inter-tropical Convergence Zone that brings bad weather across most part of the archipelago. While another developing disturbance spotted over the Pacific. It is near 14.5N 137.0E or about 1,380 km ENE of Bicol region. Based on the latest satellite imagery, it is moving North slowly which might become an active disturbance due to enhancement of a TUTT or Tropical Upper-Tropospheric Trough aka. Upper-Level Low-a common cyclonic circulation around 30, 000 to 50, 000 feet which could affect the surface of the LPA's or a cyclone.As of this moment, no numerical weather guidance models suggest the development of an active cyclone in the basin. Hong Kong Observatory Computer Model runs this system heading Central Luzon on August 19, 2010.
