WPAC: BANYAN [RAMON] - Tropical Depression

Re: WPAC: 23W [Ramon] - Tropical Depression
Hi Dexter,
Its raining here non-stop since noontime. Right now its becoming too cold. I check it out and there is a storm. We're lucky because there is still no strong wind, only rains. I do not know this late evening.
Thanks for the data...

Re: WPAC: 23W [BANYAN] - Tropical Storm
Upgraded to a TS now via JTWC following JMA's upgrade earlier today. Also noting they have it taking a much more southerly track now.

Re: WPAC: BANYAN [RAMON] - Tropical Storm
I am never confused like this before, JTWC is saying that landfall has occurred but JMA and PAGASA are saying that the storm is just about to make landfall in Northern Surigao. Anyone has an idea where the REAL center is right now? ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

There's a big discrepancy in the center position of JTWC and JMA/PAGASA.
I'm not sure who to follow LOL
It seems like JTWC's website is having technical problems at the moment so I can't tell if they made an update(The forecast for BANYAN is not shown)...

Hmmm.
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
But in all fairness, they seem to base their forecasts with JMA and HKO in the previous months. Also, they do an upgrade of a storm at the same time when JMA is about to do so. Before, they had a mere low pressure area as a tropical storm but now I don't see something like that happening. lol. That's the best thing to do for safety.
Right now, I am relying on JMA (and PAGASA) forecasts because the JTWC site itself is having some technical issues right now, maybe they are also having issues in making the bulletins. Other asian weather agencies had the center of this storm at the same area as JMA.

This is JTWC's latest warning. If you will look at the last part of this bulletin, you'll notice that there is something different compared to their other bulletins.

Re: WPAC: BANYAN [RAMON] - Tropical Storm
I agree there is something wrong with the PAGASA forecast. I checked out the satellite images yesterday in http://www.ssd.noaa.gov and around 9pm Cebu was on the center of the Tropical storm Ramon. Outside I could hear some moderately strong winds <100kph and lot of rains throughout the night.
I was thinking it could move to Aklan province today; it did. I checked out the Satellite images and the storm is over the Boracay region. Today in Cebu, its still cloudy but there are no more rains unlike yesterday.
Surprisingly, I still heard news over the radio and in my panicking neighbors that Cebu is Signal #2 and there will be strong winds and rains in the afternoon??? News is hardly reliable here even so if its coming from TV or radio...For accuracy and reliability, I instead checked out this forum and exactly looked at the satellite images.
Unreliability in news can cost lives.

Re: WPAC: BANYAN [RAMON] - Tropical Storm
I as well am not a big fan of putting down media, but the news out of the region disappoints me all to often. They often don't stress the correct stuff. And also don't act series when the situation calls for it.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 23W (BANYAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 240NM
SOUTH OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 14 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
TD 23W IS GENERATING WEAK, WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OVER THE ISLANDS
ENCIRCLING THE SULU SEA. THE SYSTEM IS BROAD AND ILL-DEFINED, WITH
THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION OCCURRING OVER LAND. POSITION CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW BUT HAS IMPROVED FROM PREVIOUS FIXES DUE TO A PARTIALLY
EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) AND THE EXTENDED
AVAILABILITY OF VISUAL IMAGERY. THE CURRENT INTENSITY ANALYSIS IS
EXTRAPOLATED FROM PRESSURE REPORTS FROM CEBU INTL (RPVM). THE LATEST
AMSU TEMPERATURE CROSS SECTION SUPPORTS A WEAK INTENSITY, REVEALING
ONLY A VERY WEAK MID-LEVEL WARM ANOMALY OVER THE SYSTEM. A 120000Z
SOUNDING AND SURFACE OBSERVATION FROM PUERTO PRINCESSA, PALAWAN
ISLAND CONFIRM THAT THE SYSTEM IS IN THE SULU SEA. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES MILD IMPINGEMENT ON OUTFLOW OVER THE
NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE AND WELL-DEVELOPED EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. THE
120000Z PGTW UPPER LEVEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS REVEALS SOME DIFFLUENCE
IN THE EASTERLY WIND FIELD ABOVE THE SYSTEM, BUT OVERALL THE UPPER
LEVEL ENVIRONMENT IS POOR, WITH 20 TO 30 KNOTS OF VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR ABOVE THE LLCC. THE EASTERLIES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A
STATIONARY UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE CENTERED NEAR 19N 117E. THE
STEERING FORCE FOR TD 23W IS A LOW TO MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE
CENTERED JUST EAST OF TAIWAN. THE RIDGE IS RE-ORIENTING EASTWARD AS
A DEEP MID-LATITUDE TROUGH DIGS OVER SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. AS THE
RIDGE SHIFTS AWAY FROM TAIWAN, TD 23W WILL FOLLOW ALONG THE WEAKNESS
ON ITS SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY. THE LATEST GUIDANCE POINTS TO A TRACK
JUST NORTH OF PALAWAN AND INTO THE CENTRAL SOUTH CHINA SEA, WITH
SLOW INTENSIFICATION ALONG TRACK AND A PEAK INTENSITY WELL BELOW
TYPHOON STRENGTH. BETWEEN TAU 48 AND TAU 72, TD 23W WILL LEAVE THE
INFLUENCE OF THE OCEANIC ANTICYCLONE AND BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH A
BUILDING ANTICYCLONE OVER SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. THE ANTICYCLONE WILL
BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING MECHANISM, DRIVING THE STORM ON A
WESTERLY COURSE TOWARDS VIETNAM. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
120600Z IS 10 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 121500Z, 122100Z, 130300Z AND

STATIONARY UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE CENTERED NEAR 19N 117E. THE
STEERING FORCE FOR TD 23W IS A LOW TO MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE
CENTERED JUST EAST OF TAIWAN. THE RIDGE IS RE-ORIENTING EASTWARD AS
A DEEP MID-LATITUDE TROUGH DIGS OVER SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. AS THE
RIDGE SHIFTS AWAY FROM TAIWAN, TD 23W WILL FOLLOW ALONG THE WEAKNESS
ON ITS SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY. THE LATEST GUIDANCE POINTS TO A TRACK
JUST NORTH OF PALAWAN AND INTO THE CENTRAL SOUTH CHINA SEA, WITH
SLOW INTENSIFICATION ALONG TRACK AND A PEAK INTENSITY WELL BELOW
TYPHOON STRENGTH. BETWEEN TAU 48 AND TAU 72, TD 23W WILL LEAVE THE
INFLUENCE OF THE OCEANIC ANTICYCLONE AND BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH A
BUILDING ANTICYCLONE OVER SOUTHEASTERN CHINA. THE ANTICYCLONE WILL
BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING MECHANISM, DRIVING THE STORM ON A
WESTERLY COURSE TOWARDS VIETNAM. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
120600Z IS 10 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 121500Z, 122100Z, 130300Z AND

Re: WPAC: BANYAN [RAMON] - Tropical Storm
I'm with JMA on this one, I really think the center of circulation is located north of Panay island. I could be wrong because all I am seeing are the colored IR and visible satloops. This is the first I see JTWC and JMA having different reports on the location of a storm's center with almost 200-km margin.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 23W (BANYAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT
12 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS A BROAD AND WEAKLY ORGANIZED SYSTEM WITH
CONVECTION CONSOLIDATING CLOSER TO THE CORE. ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM
LACKS DEEP CONVECTION, THE CONVECTION IS NOW OCCURRING IN BOTH
SEMICIRCLES. THE MOST RECENT AMSU RADIAL CROSS SECTION REVEALS THE
RETURN OF A WEAK MID-LEVEL WARM ANOMALY. THE CURRENT INTENSITY
ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON A DVORAK ASSESSMENT OF 25 KNOTS FROM PGTW.
SHIP REPORTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA COUPLED WITH A 130238Z ASCAT
IMAGE VERIFY THAT THE SYSTEM IS NOT GENERATING EXTENSIVE WINDFIELDS.
ANIMATED MSI ALSO INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF MULTIPLE VORTICES
CYCLING WITHIN THE SYSTEM, MAKING FOR A RELATIVELY WIDE DISPARITY IN
POSITION FIXES. THE PGTW 130000Z UPPER LEVEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS
DEPICTS AN ANTICYCLONE OVER NORTHEASTERN LUZON. TD 23W EXISTS UNDER
A MILDLY DIFFLUENT REGION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT
OF THE ANTICYCLONE. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS 15 TO 20 KNOTS AND SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURE IS 29 TO 30 DEGREES. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY REVEALS THAT THERE IS NO LONGER AN IMPINGEMENT ON POLEWARD
OUTFLOW, WHILE EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW REMAINS GOOD. TD 23W IS TRACKING
ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL STEERING
RIDGE, WHICH IS WEAKENING AND RE-ORIENTING TO THE NORTHEAST IN
RESPONSE TO A DEEP MID-LATITUDE TROUGH MOVING OVER TAIWAN. AS THE
RIDGE WEAKENS, ITS INFLUENCE ON TD 23W WILL WANE AND A RIDGE
DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHERN CHINA IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH WILL PICK
UP THE STORM AND DRIVE IT ON A MORE WESTWARD COURSE TOWARDS THE
COAST OF VIETNAM. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES FALL SIGNIFICANTLY NORTH
OF 15 DEGREES NORTH LATITUDE, WHILE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL REMAIN
IN THE 15 TO 20 KNOTS RANGE. THUS, TD 23W WILL REACH PEAK INTENSITY
BETWEEN TAU 36 AND 48 AND THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS ALONG ITS
WESTWARD LEG. MODEL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT ERRATIC DUE TO THE
LOW INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM, BUT HAS COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT
OVER THE PAST 36 HOURS. THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST STAYS CLOSE TO
CONSENSUS WHILE THE INTENSITY FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN

1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 12 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
A. TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 23W, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 355
NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG, CHINA HAS TRACKED NORTH-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS THAT THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) CONTINUES TO REGENERATE DEEP CENTRAL
CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE ANIMATED MSI AND A
132218Z SSMIS 37H MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH POOR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY IS BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF 30 KNOTS. RECENT UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT TD
23W IS APPROXIMATELY 03 DEGREES WEST OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CENTERED
OVER SOUTHERN LUZON. THE PROXIMITY TO THIS ANTICYCLONIC CENTER HAS
PROVIDED FOR A SLIGHT DECREASE IN VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) TO 10-15
KNOTS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW GOOD
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW WITH INCREASING POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND DIVERGENCE.
TD 23W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A
LOW- TO MID-LEVEL STEERING RIDGE, WHICH IS WEAKENING AND RE-
ORIENTING TO THE EAST IN RESPONSE TO A DEEP MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
DIGGING INTO EASTERN CHINA.
3. A. THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY.
B. BANYAN SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD UNTIL
THE TROUGH EXITS THE AREA ALLOWING FOR ANOTHER LOW- TO MID-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO BUILD IN OVER THE SOUTHERN COAST OF CHINA. BY
TAU 24 THIS NEW STEERING RIDGE SHOULD PUSH TD 23W WESTWARD TOWARDS
THE VIETNAMESE COAST. TD 23W WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS VWS SHOULD
REMAIN AT CURRENT LEVELS AND POLEWARD OUTFLOW MAY MOMENTARILY
IMPROVE AS THE TROUGH PROPAGATES BY. BANYAN IS FORECASTED TO REACH
45 KNOTS BY TAU 36 AND THEN MAINTAIN THAT INTENSITY AS IT TRACKS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN SOUTH CHINA SEA.
C. BY TAU 72, BANYAN SHOULD PASS SOUTH OF HAINAN, CHINA, AND
MAINTAIN INTENSITY DUE TO WARM (28-29 DEGREES CELSIUS) ALONG TRACK
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND CONTINUED GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE.
VERTICAL WINDSHEAR MAY INCREASE DUE TO THE FLOW AROUND THE LOW- TO
MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE THAT BUILDS OVER SOUTHERN CHINA.
HOWEVER, BANYAN SHOULD BE AT TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH AND BE ABLE TO
MAINTAIN THE WARM CORE. THE MAJORITY OF THE AIDS REMAIN IN GOOD
AGREEMENT TOWARDS THE TRACK AND INTENSITY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
WBAR AND GFS NUMERICAL GUIDANCE. THE WBAR ERRONEOUSLY TRACKS THE
SYSTEM INTO THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLY FLOW AND THE GFS TRACKS TD 23W
ON AN UNLIKELY NORTHEASTWARD TRACK DURING THE FIRST 36 HOURS AND
THEN LOOPS THE SYSTEM BACK ANTICYCLONICALLY TO THE SOUTHWEST. THIS
SCENARIO IS UNLIKELY DUE TO THE ACTIVE MERIDIONAL LONGWAVE PATTERN.
THIS FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT OF CONSENSUS DURING THE FIRST
12 HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE GFS AND WABR.//

Re: WPAC: BANYAN [RAMON] - Tropical Depression
I don't know about the track now, I think all and all this storm is dead, if it does go back South West it will go slowly with out much power.
