Former Tropical Storm Hagupit weakened to a tropical depression on Sunday.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Hagupit was located at latitude 10.4\u00b0N and longitude 130.7\u00b0E which put the center about 310 miles (500 km) northwest of Koror, Palau. Hagupit was moving toward the west at 11 m.p.h. (17 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 30 m.p.h. (50 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1006 mb.<\/p>\n
Former Tropical Storm Hagupit weakened to a tropical depression over the Western North Pacific Ocean northwest of Palau on Sunday.\u00a0 More of the thunderstorms in Tropical Depression Hagupit dissipated.\u00a0 Some thunderstorms were still occurring in bands in the eastern half of Hagupit’s circulation.\u00a0 Bands in the western side of Hagupit\u2019s circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 The few thunderstorms near the center of Hagupit generated little upper level divergence to pump mass away from the tropical depression.\u00a0 Mass was still converging in the lower levels of the atmosphere.\u00a0 So, the surface pressure continued to increase slowly.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Hagupit will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Hagupit will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 29\u00b0C.\u00a0 However, it will move under the southern end of an upper level trough that is south of Japan.\u00a0 The upper level trough will produce westerly winds that will blow toward the top of Hagupit\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause moderate vertical wind shear. Tropical Depression Hagupit will\u00a0 continue to weaken because of the vertical wind shear.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Hagupit will move around the southwestern part of a high pressure system over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Hagupit toward the west-northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Depression Hagupit will continue to move farther away from Palau.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
