EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

NOCK-TEN's (JUANING) circulation has started to deteriorate due to land interaction and increasing upper-level winds (Moderate Vertical Wind Shear). Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - weakening while over the Gulf of Tonkin. (click here to know more about CDO).
INNER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the east coast of Northern Vietnam Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-100 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the Western Hainan, Northern & Central Vietnam, and Western Guangdong . Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 350 mm (high) near the center of NOCK-TEN (JUANING). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 0 to 3 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Northern Vietnam today. Minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of Central Vietnam, Hainan Island & Western portions of Guangdong Province.

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) SAT 30 JULY POSITION: 19.3N 108.0E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (NOCK-TEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 300
NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HONG KONG, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT TS NOCK-TEN HAS MAINTAINED VIGOROUS
CONVECTION DESPITE THE EFFECTS OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE
NORTHEASTERLY SHEAR, WHICH IS ESTIMATED AT 30 KNOTS, IS STEMMING
FROM THE SEASONAL ANTICYCLONE OVER EASTERN CHINA. THE SHEAR IS
DISPLACING CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER. SEVERAL SURFACE REPORTS SURROUNDING THE STORM PROVIDES GOOD
CONFIDENCE TO BOTH THE POSITION AND THE INTENSITY ASSESSMENT. TS 10W
HAS CROSSED HAINAN AND IS NOW TRACKING THROUGH 31 DEGREE SEA WATERS
IN THE GULF OF TONKIN. THE INTENSIFYING EFFECTS OF WARM WATER ARE
BEING OFFSET BY INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR...(
