EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

06W's (EGAY) circulation still sheared with the low-level circulation center (LLCC) not aligned with the rain-cloud convection. Below are the summary of the depression's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Bashi and Balintang Channels. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
06-12HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 50 mm (low to medium rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 75 mm (medium) near the center of 06W (EGAY). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) MON 20 JUNE POSITION: 19.7N 121.4E.
*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 06W (SIX), LOCATED 430 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST
OF HONG KONG, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST
SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON A 191730Z PGTW SATELLITE
FIX AND A 191724Z AMSR-E MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGE. THE CURRENT
INTENSITY OF 30 KNOTS IS CONSISTENT WITH RECENT DVORAK T-NUMBER
ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES. TD 06W HAS WEAKENED OVER THE PAST SIX
HOURS IN RESPONSE TO PERSISTENT EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
CONVERGENCE IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW. HOWEVEER, A SLIGHT ENHANCEMENT
OF THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS OCCURRING AS THE SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH A
TRANSISTORY MIDLATITUDE TROUGH TO THE NORTH, AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW
REMAINS GOOD. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A PARTIALLY
EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH CONVECTION
BEGINNING TO REDEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN PERIPHERY. WITH IMPROVING
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT, TD 06W IS EXPECTED TO REINTENSIFY SLIGHTLY AS
IT MOVES INTO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA UNDER THE CONTINUED STEERING
INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. SOME WEAKENING IS EXPECTED AFTER
TAU 36 IN RESPONSE TO INCREASINGLY RESTRICTED OUTFLOW ALOFT AND
LOWER ALONG-TRACK OCEAN HEAT CONTENT, AND THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
DISSIPATE AFTER MOVING INLAND AROUND TAU 72. THE CURRENT TRACK
FORECAST LIES WEST OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST, WITH NUMERICAL MODEL
GUIDANCE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING THE STEERING
PATTERN. FORECASTED INTENSITIES HAVE BEEN DECREASED BASED ON CURRENT
TRENDS AND EXPECTATION OF LESS THAN OPTIMAL UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT..
