Live tracking map, satellite, radar, and forecasts of Invest 96W northwest of Luzon in the Philippines. High chance of development. Current wind speed 35km/h.
Maximum sustained surface winds are around 35–45 km/h (18–23 knots).
Infrared imagery shows deep convection consolidating over the low-level circulation center (LLCC) with curved deep convective banding in the southern edge.
Analysis for the area shows a favorable environment for development once it moves over the South China Sea with warm sea surface temperatures (30–31°C), low wind shear (10–15 knots), and good equatorward outflow aloft.
Forecast models are in good agreement that 96W (Philippine name Henry) will rapidly intensify over the next 24 hours.
