JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) THU 09 JUNE POSITION: 15.4N 119.2E.
*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 05W, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 115 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS CURVED CONVECTION INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). A 090136 TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTIVE
BANDING AROUND THE LLCC WITH LIMITED CONVECTION ALONG THE NORTHERN
PERIPHERY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO
THE NORTH IS BEGINNING TO FILL, HOWEVER, THE TROUGH CURRENTLY
APPEARS TO BE INHIBITING CONVECTION AND OUTFLOW ON THE NORTHERN
PERIPHERY. EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW REMAINS FAVORABLE. THE INITIAL
POSITION WAS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED MSI AND EXTRAPOLATED FROM
THE TRMM IMAGE WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY WAS BASED
ON PGTW AND RJTD DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 25 KNOTS. TD 05W IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW- TO MID- LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE. IT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING
GENERALLY NORTHWESTWARD FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND THEN WILL BEGIN
TURNING MORE POLEWARD AS A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH WEAKENS THE STEERING
RIDGE. TD 05W IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY INTENSIFY BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL
OVER CHINA AFTER TAU 48 AND DISSIPATE OVER LAND BY TAU 72. NUMERICAL
MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, THIS FORECAST IS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MODEL CONSENSUS..
