4.3ºN 155.1ºE -- グリフオーザー 06:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

JTWC 6am: -- グリフオーザー 06:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC) An area of convection near 4.3N 155.1E or 265 nm southeast of Chuuk. Imagery shows flaring convection over a developing low level circulation center with low vertical wind sheer and favorable westward and equatorward outflow. Maximum sustained winds 10 to 15 knots with a center pressure of 1006 mb. development into a significant tropical cyclone is poor.

JTWC 6am: -- グリフオーザー 06:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC) area of convection no longer considered for development.

4.5N 154E - 15 knots 1006 mb -- グリフオーザー 20:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

JTWC 6am: -- グリフオーザー 06:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Area of convection near 5.7ºN 152.6ºE or 110 nm south-southeast of Chuuk. Imagery shows an exposed low level circulation center with flaring deep convection. The analysis shows the disturbance center is within the monsoon trough and in a favorable environment with low vertical sheer. Maximum sustained winds of 12 to 18 knots and a center pressure 1006 mb.

JMA 12pm -- low pressure area -- 1008 hPa -- グリフオーザー 16:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

JTWC: 6am UTC - グリフオーザー 06:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC) Area of convection near 9.0ºN 142.3ºE or 300 nm south-southwest of Guam. Imagery shows an improve consolidation of low level circulation center. The analysis shows the disturbance center is within favorable environment with low vertical shear. Maximum sustained winds of 15 to 20 knots and a center pressure 1004 mb. Potential development to form into a tropical cyclone has been upgraded to fair.

 * And the path takes 25W (Utor) into the Phillipines as a Category 1. The Phillipines just can't catch a break this season. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jake52 (talk • contribs) 03:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC).


 * what I don't get is JTWC is reporting 25W moving west at 16 knots and the JMA says west slowly. -- グリフオーザー 03:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The poor Philippines are going to get hammered again. At least this one might not a Cat 4-5 when it strikes. —Cuivi é nen 21:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Very similar track to Typhoon Durian, but slightly further south. And forecast to be much weaker. RaNdOm26 07:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's also moving faster, which is another inhibitor. None of the agencies are forecasting it to be a typhoon at landfall, at least not right now. --Core desat  07:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Severe Tropical Storm Utor
Now an STS. Don't be fooled by the public advisory that says 60 kt in 24 hours: in the marine advisory, a 12-hour forecast point was added (normally it doesn't carry one):

FORECAST POSITION FOR 090000UTC AT 10.8N 126.4E WITH 60 MILES RADIUS OF 70 PERCENT PROBABILITY CIRCLE. 960 HPA, MAX WINDS 75 KNOTS NEAR CENTER.

RECENT SYNOPTIC OBSERVATIONS FROM POHNPEI REPORT PRESSURE FALLS OF 2.7 MB OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES FAVORABLE DIVERGENCE ALOFT AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB.

<tt>A area of convection near 6.0ºN 158.4ºE or 60 nm south of Pohnpei. Imagery shows a broad low level with weak multiple low level circulation centers and poorly organized deep convection. Analysis shows that this disturbance is within favorable environment with weak vertical wind shear.

Maximum sustained winds are 12 to 18 knots with a center pressure of 1007 mb. The potential of this disturbance to develop into a tropical cyclone within 24 hours remain fair.</tt>

 * Local time or GMT time determines its name or number? Would it be 25W or 01W if it formed on January 1 local time and December 31 GMT time? CrazyC83 04:39, 31 December 2006 (UTC)


 * A very good question. I have no idea. Let's hope it's straightforward ;)  SpL o T  (*C*+u+g) 04:58, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It actually wouldn't be 25W, because 25W was Utor. If this were to be classified by the JTWC before January 1 UTC, it would be 27W. After that, and it would be 01W. The main question is whether it would be 0624 or 0701 (the JMA does not number TDs). --Core desat  05:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
