22 UTC | Tropical Depression 25W

December 4, 2011 by rpweather 0 Comments

Tropical Depression 25W in the South China Sea has somewhat weakened over the past 6 hours. It is located approximately 660km east of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Maximum sustained winds are estimated to be around 45kph with occasional gusts of up to 65kph.

As mentioned, the system is disorganized although there is still a low level circulation center that was picked up by an ASCAT pass last night. Convective activity is also very poor and is having difficulty consolidating due to the moderate wind shear of around 20 kts in the region. Nevertheless, we are expecting this batch of rain showers to move into Vietnam sometime tonight or into tomorrow. JTWC is forecasting 25W to remain as a weak depression throughout, before dissipating by either Tuesday or Wednesday.
