At 3 am on September 20, the US Pacific Tropical Storm Warning Center (JTWC) began to alert the tropical cyclone that was forming near Yap Island, on the waters off the Philippines from 8, 9 to 12.9 degrees north and 137.8 to 135.6 degrees east. Metsat satellite image at 1am 20.9 shows that the center of the disturbance is near 9.4 degrees north of 137.5 degrees east.
Regional winds were set between 18-22 nautical miles / h, traveling north-northwest, or following recent storms to the sea of Japan and Taiwan. JTWC noted, after 6 hours, the disturbance went from 8.6 degrees north of 137.9 degrees east to 9.4 degrees north 137.5 degrees east, only 40 miles west of Yap Island. The Quikscat satellite image shows strong winds of 20 knots near the center, then the maximum gust of Yap island has increased to 40 knots.
Currently, surface winds maintained in low pressure ranges from 18 to 20 knots / h, minimum sea level pressure of 1,004MB. Due to the strengthening of the factors that make up the storm, JTWC predicts that this cyclone is capable of quickly developing into a storm in the next 24 hours.
