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 (off Balintang Channel)...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 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): 8 PM (12 GMT) SUN 19 JUNE POSITION: 18.7N 122.8E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 06W (SIX), LOCATED 530 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST
OF HONG KONG, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST
SIX HOURS. TS 06W HAS ENTERED INTO A REGION OF MORE FAVORABLE ALONG-
TRACK ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND IS SHOWING SIGNS OF MILD
INTENSIFICATION. DESPITE THE INCREASED CONVECTION, ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY STILLS SHOWS A SYSTEM THAT IS STRUGGLING AGAINST
THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF 15 KNOTS OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND
SUPPRESSED POLEWARD OUTFLOW. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND THE
191200Z PGTW UPPER LEVEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS REVEAL A TROPICAL UPPER
TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT) EXTENDING ALONG THE 20TH LATITUDE FROM
THE MID-PACIFIC ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. ALTHOUGH THE
TUTT IS CREATING A SUBSIDENT ATMOSPHERE TO THE NORTH OF THE STORM,
LINKAGE BETWEEN A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH DIVING OVER EASTERN CHINA AND
THE OUTFLOW FROM TS 06W IS BEGINNING TO OCCUR, AIDING DEVELOPMENT OF
SHALLOW CONVECTION OVER THE WESTERN SEMICIRCLE OF THE SYSTEM. A
190918Z SSMIS IMAGE VERIFIES THAT THE ONLY DEEP CONVECTION GENERATED
BY THE STORM IS DUE TO THE LIFT PROVIDED BY LAND INTERACTION WITH
THE NORTHEAST TIP OF LUZON. THE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATE IS BASED
ON A COMBINATION OF SUBJECTIVE AND AUTOMATED DVORAK ESTIMATES AND
REPORTS FROM STATIONS OVER NORTHEAST LUZON AND THE BUBAYAN ISLANDS.
TS 06W CONTINUES TO STEER ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TOWARDS A WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE TWO MAJOR
ANTICYCLONES OVER EASTERN CHINA AND THE BONIN ISLANDS. THE WEAKNESS
BETWEEN THE TWO ANTICYCLONES IS BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED AS A MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH DIGS INTO SOUTHEASTERN CHINA..
