Former Tropical Storm Nokaen weakened to a tropical depression over the Western North Pacific Ocean east of Luzon on Monday morning.\u00a0 At 10:00 a.m. EST on Monday the center of the Tropical Depression Nokaen was located at latitude 17.1\u00b0N and longitude 127.4\u00b0E which put the center about 365 miles (530 km) east-southeast of Aparri, Philippines.\u00a0 Nokaen was moving toward the northeast at 6 m.p.h. (10 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb.<\/p>\n
Former Tropical Storm Nokaen continued to move through an environment containing drier air on Monday.\u00a0 The drier air caused most of the thunderstorms in Tropical Depression Nokaen to dissipate.\u00a0 A few thunderstorms were still occurring in a band in the far northern periphery of Nokaen’s circulation.\u00a0 The bands in the other parts of Tropical Depression Nokaen consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Nokaen will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Nokaen will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 28\u00b0C.\u00a0 However, it will continue to be surrounded by drier air.\u00a0 In addition, Tropical Depression Nokaen will move under the southern portion of the midlatitude upper level westerly winds.\u00a0 Those winds will cause vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The drier air and the vertical wind shear will cause the circulation around Tropical Depression Nokaen to continue to weaken.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Nokaen will move around the western end of a high pressure system that is over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Nokaen toward the east-northeast during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Depression Nokaen will continue to move farther away from Luzon as it gradually spins down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
