LATEST ANIMATED VISUAL AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES THAT A NEW TROPICAL DPERESSION HAS FORMED IN
THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC NEAR THE INTERNATIONAL DATELINE,
APPROXIMATELY 270NM NORTHWEST OF MIDWAY ISLAND. WIND
INTENSITY IS BASED ON ESTIMATES FROM INFRARED/VISUAL
IMAGERY AND SPECIAL MICROWAVE IMAGERY. VISUAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS AN EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION EXISTS
WITH CONVECTION PRIMARILY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
CIRCULATION CENTER. NEXT WARNINGS AT 141500Z1 (DTG
141357Z1) AND 150300Z9 (DTG 150157Z9). IF THE JOINT
TYPHOON WARNING CENTER ANTICIPATES THAT THIS TROPICAL
DEPRESSION WILL REACH TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY, THEN A
STANDARD 72 HOUR TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING WILL BE ISSUED.
OTHERWISE, 36 HOUR TROPICAL DEPRESSION WARNINGS WILL BE
UPDATED EVERY 12 HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 140000Z5 IS 09 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 PGFW FOR
ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. REFER TO TYPHOON KIRK
(13W) WARNINGS (WTPN31 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES AND
TO TROPICAL DEPRESSION 15W AND 16W WARNINGS (WTPN32 PGTW
AND WTPN33 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES ON THESE
