A) TD 02-W (02W): at 21/1902Z...
Position near 16.6N 125.7E (260nm ENE of Manila, Philippines)
Movement toward the NE at 9 mph
Maximum sustained winds are 35 mph
Minimum central pressure is 1002 mb
T# numbers: 2.5/3.0
02W is slowly falling apart. This storm never received a name since the US Navy falls suit with local meteorology branches. In this case, the Japanese Met Agency. Since the JMA calculates winds on a 10-minute average versus the US and our 1-minute average, 02W never achieved tropical storm status. Regardless, this system is rapidly weakening and moving into the mid-latitude westerlies.

Invest 95P was upgraded by NRL Monterey into 19P (Grace). This is in association with the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia. Regardless, expect the JTWC is begin issuing advisories later today. I’ve listed the link that Grace will be using once the JTWC issues advisories. However, until then you make use the second link for the ABPW outlook.
