Tropical Storm 30W (Phanfone)

Tropical storm (TS) 30W (Phanfone), located approximately 717NM east-southeast of Manila, Philippines, has tracked west-northwestward at 18 knots over the past six hours…

…TS 30W will track generally west-northwestward… [and] the marginally favorable environment will support steady intensification until landfall around TAU 30. After landfall, the Philippine Islands will slow the intensification rate until TS 30W moves over the warm waters of the South China Sea [where] initially favorable conditions will allow some more intensification through TAU 72.

After TAU 72, TS 30W will encounter high VWS and relatively cooler, drier air. By TAU 120, the system will weaken to 45 knots…
