Tropical Depression 04W consolidates more strengths for the past 6 hours near Yap Island

Tropical Depression 04W (98W)
  •  8.3N 141.7E
  • 438.275 km. East-Southeast of Yap
  • barely  moving NW-ward @ 06 kph
  • heading towards Philippine Sea
  • maximum winds: 56 kph
  • gustiness winds: 74 kph
  • minimum sea level pressure:1006 mb
  • maximum significant wave height: 10 feet
Based on the latest images, Tropical Depression 04W has rapidly consolidated strength for the past 6 hours as formative wrapped tighter in to the LLCC (Low Level Circulation Center). Numerical weather guidance models support the possible intensification because of the warm sea surface temperatures within the next 36-48  hours as it moves toward the Philippine Sea.
