(10 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 60 m.p.h. (95 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 75 m.p.h. (120 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 986 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Trami moved over the South China Sea on Thursday after dropping heavy rain on the Philippines that caused flash floods.\u00a0 There were reports of damage and fatalities in Luzon.\u00a0 The circulation around Trami began to strengthen when it moved over the South China Sea.\u00a0 The inner end of a rainband wrapped around the center of Trami’s circulation.\u00a0 Bands of thunderstorms were in the southern half of Tropical Storm Trami.\u00a0 The bands in the northern side of Trami’s circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Storms near the center of Trami generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the tropical storm.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Tropical Storm Trami was very large.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 335 miles (535 km) from the center of Trami’s circulation.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Trami will move around the south side of a high pressure system over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Trami toward the west during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Trami will toward Vietnam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
