NEW EAST PACIFIC TROPICAL DEPRESSION FORMS

The depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph and this general motion is expected to continue for the next couple of days. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the system will likely become a tropical storm tonight or on Monday.

Western Pacific

Tropical Cyclone 19W (Kajiki)

According to the JTWC warning number 10, sustained winds are 90 knots, with gusts to near 110 knots

Typhoon 19W has rapidly intensified 40 knots over the past 24 hours, from 55 knots at 231200z to the initial intensity of 95 knots.

Animated enhanced infrared satellite imagery and animated radar imagery depict a compact core skirting the southern coast of Hainan Island, largely unscathed with a 15 NM eye, which supports the initial position with high confidence. A 241124z ssmis 91ghz microwave image reveals tightly-curved convective banding wrapping into the low-level circulation, with a defined microwave eye feature. The system has maintained radial outflow and low vertical wind shear supporting the current phase of rapid intensification.

TY 19W is forecast to track west-northwestward through the forecast period, with landfall expected near 18 hours.

The system is forecast to intensify to a peak of 100 knots by 12 hours then weaken steadily as it approaches the coast of Vietnam. After landfall, the system will track into the mountainous region of northern Laos, with rapid weakening and dissipation by 48 hours.
