Tropical Depression in the Philippine Sea

Tropical Depression in the Philippine Sea slowly organizes, possible typhoon Egay : Doksuri




Storm Development

The broad area of low pressure we’ve been watching for nearly a week now continues to slowly organize towards the east of the Philippines. Now, guidance still expects this to become a tropical storm or even a typhoon through the weekend into the early part of next week, but there still is a lot of uncertainty as to exactly where this could go. The good news is that some of the guidance is shifting east away from the Philippines.


 Circulation and Intensification


As of now, the circulation is organizing, and convection is flaring up around that center. If the low-level center becomes more organized, it may be named a tropical depression, possibly designated as “Ige.” Meanwhile, the storm is likely to continue moving towards the north and west as it intensifies.


Path Uncertainty


However, the big question lies in its path around Saturday and Sunday. The ECMWF model suggests the storm will move further west, riding along the southern periphery of a high-pressure ridge towards the north. On the other hand, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has the storm system even further offshore, towards the east. The GFS model shows the storm’s members also leaning eastward.


Implications for Different Areas


This uncertainty creates implications for various areas. The Philippines should pay attention to the possible track, as it may clip Northeastern Luzon or stay well east, possibly impacting Taiwan or Okinawa. Even if the storm stays offshore, there will still be inflow affecting places like Manila. JMA expects the storm to remain offshore, providing some relief for the Philippines, but other areas need to be vigilant.





 Conclusion and Precautions


In conclusion, the forecast remains uncertain, and it’s crucial to stay prepared and informed by monitoring official sources. The guidance is shifting eastward, which could be good news for the Philippines, but other regions should remain vigilant. The storm’s potential impact on Taiwan, Okinawa, and the west coast of the Philippines still needs close monitoring. Let’s keep an eye on official updates and take necessary precautions.
