EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

SARIKA's (DODONG) circulation has become slightly disorganized with its low-level circulation center (LLCC) moving ahead of its thick-rain convective circulation while still over the South China Sea. Below are the summary of the typhoon's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

INNER RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-85 kph) can be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea)...but will reach the Southeastern Coast of China (Fujian-Eastern Guangdong Area) later tonight. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can 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 330 mm (high) near the center of SARIKA (DODONG). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).

CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy with widespread moderate to heavy rains w/ squalls & thunderstorms can be expected along the following affected areas: Southern part of the SOUTH CHINA SEA. Light to moderate SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, extended forecast, effects-hazards, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!


JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) FRI 10 JUNE POSITION: 20.0N 117.1E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 05W (SARIKA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 215 NM
SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG, CHINA, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 12
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH THE CONVECTION BEING SHEARED TO THE SOUTHWEST. ANIMATED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH
(TUTT) LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE SYSTEM IS CAUSING SUBSIDENCE ALOFT
AND MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (20 TO 25 KNOTS).
THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION BASED ON THE
PARTIALLY EXPOSED LLCC IN MSI. THE INTENSITY IS HIGHER THAN PGTW,
KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK ESTIMATES DUE TO A 100224Z ASCAT PASS, WHICH
SHOWS A STRONG BAND OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF
THE LLCC WITH WEAKER 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY. TS 05W IS TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW-
TO MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE. TS 05W SHOULD MAKE LANDFALL EAST OF
HONG KONG, CHINA AFTER TAU 12. AS THE TUTT CELL TO THE NORTH FILLS,
FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, MODERATE DIFFLUENCE ALOFT, AND
EXCELLENT EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW SHOULD ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY
SLIGHTLY BEFORE LAND INTERACTION CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO RAPIDLY WEAKEN
AND DISSIPATE BY TAU 36. THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON THE MODEL
CONSENSUS..
