Wind shear continues to prevent reintensification of former Tropical Storm Jangmi and the circulation consists primarily of shallow convection.\u00a0 The system still possesses a well developed cyclonic circulation in the lower atmosphere that is clearly apparent on visible satellite imagery.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday the center of the remnants of Jangmi were located at latitude 6.8\u00b0N and longitude 118.8\u00b0E which put it about 175 miles west-northwest of Jolo in the Philippines, about 140 miles east of Kudat, Malaysia and about 150 miles northeast of Sandakan, Malaysia.\u00a0 The center was moving toward the west-southwest at 6 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 30 m.p.h. and there were gusts to 40 m.p.h.\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1007 mb.<\/p>\n
A subtropical ridge to the north of Jangmi continues to generate southeasterly winds with speeds near 35 m.p.h. in the upper levels over the system.\u00a0 The strong upper level winds are shearing the tops of thunderstorms which start to develop near the center and are preventing the redevelopment of Jangmi.\u00a0 The center of circulation is over warm Sea Surface Temperatures and so convection continues to develop but the strong wind shear keeps it shallow.<\/p>\n
Since circulation is comprised almost entirely of shallow convection it is being steered by the winds in the lower level of the atmosphere.\u00a0 Those winds are likely to continue to carry the circulation in a generally west-southwesterly direction, which would bring it near the northern coast of Borneo in 18 to 24 hours.\u00a0 It could produce locally heavy rainfall and some flooding may be possible where it makes landfall.<\/p>\n
