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:

DEVELOPING INNER RAINBANDS - still over water (Philippine Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (65-85 kph) can be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Northern & Central Luzon. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
12-18HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 100 mm (low to medium rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 350 mm (medium) near the center of 06W (EGAY) or along Extreme Northern Luzon from Ilocos Norte up to Cagayan.

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) SUN 19 JUNE POSITION: 17.7N 123.5E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 06W, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 230 NM NORTHEAST OF
MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED NORTHWEST AT 10 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI)
REVEALS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH
THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION BEING SHEARED TO THE WEST. DESPITE
TRACKING THROUGH 31 DEGREE SEA WATER, TS 06W CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE
TO SUSTAIN VIGOROUS CONVECTION OR CONSOLIDATE AROUND THE LLCC. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY ANALYSIS IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF SUBJECTIVE
AND AUTOMATED DVORAK ESTIMATES, AS WELL AS EXTRAPOLATIONS FROM
SURFACE REPORTS ALONG THE NORTHEAST COAST OF LUZON. A 190057Z ASCAT
IMAGE SHOWS THE STRONGEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM ARE IN
THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
190512Z AMSRE MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEAL THAT THE ONLY DEEP CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM IS BEING GENERATED BY LAND INTERACTION.
THE SYSTEM IS NOT OF SUFFICIENT INTENSITY TO SUSTAIN SIGNIFICANT
DEEP CONVECTION OVER WATER. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) IS ESTIMATED
AT 20 KNOTS. POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS BEING SUPPRESSED OVER THE NORTHEAST
QUADRANT DUE TO AN EXTENSIVE TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH
(TUTT) EXTENDING ALONG THE 20TH LATITUDE. SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE TUTT IS OVERRIDING THE EFFECTS OF EXTREMELY WARM SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS, TS 06W WILL TRACK OVER THE
BUBAYAN ISLANDS AND REACH PEAK INTENSITY AS SEA WATERS REMAIN WARM
AND VWS RELAXES. AFTER TAU 36, WHEN THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE
WESTERN PASSAGES OF THE LUZON STRAIT, NORTHEASTERLY VWS WILL BEGIN
TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM WELL BEFORE IT REACHES LANDFALL OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO FLIP-FLOP AS IT
STRUGGLES TO HANDLE THE STEERING MECHANISMS, BUT DURING THE PAST 24
HOURS THERE HAS BEEN AN OVERALL TREND TOWARD MOVING THE LONG RANGE
TRACK FURTHER AWAY FROM TAIWAN AND CLOSER TO HONG KONG. THE CURRENT
FORECAST STAYS JUST WEST OF CONSENSUS IN ANTICIPATION THAT THE
DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE WILL BE THE SEASONAL ANTICYCLONE OVER
EASTERN CHINA. THE INTENSITY FORECAST HAS BEEN REDUCED DUE TO THE
FAILURE OF TS 06W TO INTENSIFY OVER THE NORMALLY IDEAL CONDITIONS OF
THE PHILIPPINE SEA..
