An area of convection near 4.3N 155.1E or 265 nm southeast of Chuuk. Imagery shows flaring convection over a developing low level circulation center with low vertical wind sheer and favorable westward and equatorward outflow. Maximum sustained winds 10 to 15 knots with a center pressure of 1006 mb. development into a significant tropical cyclone is poor.

Area of convection near 5.7ºN 152.6ºE or 110 nm south-southeast of Chuuk. Imagery shows an exposed low level circulation center with flaring deep convection. The analysis shows the disturbance center is within the monsoon trough and in a favorable environment with low vertical sheer.
Maximum sustained winds of 12 to 18 knots and a center pressure 1006 mb.

Area of convection near 9.0ºN 142.3ºE or 300 nm south-southwest of Guam. Imagery shows an improve consolidation of low level circulation center. The analysis shows the disturbance center is within favorable environment with low vertical shear. Maximum sustained winds of 15 to 20 knots and a center pressure 1004 mb. Potential development to form into a tropical cyclone has been upgraded to fair.

And the path takes 25W (Utor) into the Phillipines as a Category 1. The Phillipines just can't catch a break this season. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jake52 (talkcontribs) 03:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC).Reply
what I don't get is JTWC is reporting 25W moving west at 16 knots and the JMA says west slowly. -- グリフオーザー 03:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Very similar track to Typhoon Durian, but slightly further south. And forecast to be much weaker. RaNdOm26 07:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
It's also moving faster, which is another inhibitor. None of the agencies are forecasting it to be a typhoon at landfall, at least not right now. --Coredesat 07:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Now an STS. Don't be fooled by the public advisory that says 60 kt in 24 hours: in the marine advisory, a 12-hour forecast point was added (normally it doesn't carry one):

A area of convection near 6.0ºN 158.4ºE or 60 nm south of Pohnpei. Imagery shows a broad low level with weak multiple low level circulation centers and poorly organized deep convection. Analysis shows that this disturbance is within favorable environment with weak vertical wind shear.

Maximum sustained winds are 12 to 18 knots with a center pressure of 1007 mb. The potential of this disturbance to develop into a tropical cyclone within 24 hours remain fair.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION 1008 HPA AT 10N 150E WNW 20 KT. - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 04:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 6.4N 154.8E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 7.5N 149.7E, APPROXIMATELY 445 NM SOUTHEAST OF GUAM. RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS DEEP CON- VECTION PERSISTING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A BROAD AREA OF LOW LEVEL CYCLONIC TURNING. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE AND LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 12 TO 18 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. BECAUSE THIS DISTUR- BANCE HAS SHOWN NO SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING OR CONSOLIDATION SINCE THE LAST ISSUANCE OF THIS BULLETIN, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS POOR. - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 07:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

ABPW PGTW 170030: 10.2N 142.1E, 300 nm east of Yap. Broad low level turning with deep convection, weak banding on northern periphery wrapping into the center of circulation. Favorable upper level environment with fair divergence aloft and low vertical wind shear. Winds at 18 to 22 kt, pressure at 1006 mb - FAIR. - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 02:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

JTWC Warning #1 on TD 24W. Forecast track brings it close to Metro Manila again, in a Durian-ish approach. Hope it recurves like Yagi. TS in 12h. - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 04:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Very similar to the past four storms, all hitting the Phillippines. It's forecast to move WNW at 22 kts (JMA). That's fairly speeding! Insanephantom 08:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Significantly weakened under high wind shear. Dead per JTWC, named Tomas by PAGASA earlier. - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 13:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

JMA still predicts slight strengthening and continued westward movement, but PAGASA predicts strengthening to typhoon in the direction of Okinawa. Massive discrepancies between models... - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 16:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Might be the same area of convection. The convection is very deep and nearly stationary, but it's being sheared by a trough. --Coredesat 01:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
It has about 24 hours to strengthen into TD 25W - if it reforms.Mitchazenia(almost 8800+edits) 01:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Local time or GMT time determines its name or number? Would it be 25W or 01W if it formed on January 1 local time and December 31 GMT time? CrazyC83 04:39, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
A very good question. I have no idea. Let's hope it's straightforward ;) SpLoT (*C*+u+g) 04:58, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
It actually wouldn't be 25W, because 25W was Utor. If this were to be classified by the JTWC before January 1 UTC, it would be 27W. After that, and it would be 01W. The main question is whether it would be 0624 or 0701 (the JMA does not number TDs). --Coredesat 05:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
