TROPICAL DEPRESSION 16W IS QUASI-STATIONARY IN THE GULF
OF TONKIN. THE DEVELOPMENT OF 16W IS BEING INHIBITED DUE
TO WESTERLY LOW-LEVEL INFLOW ACROSS LAND. MINIMAL
ORGANIZATION AND INTENSIFICATION IS ANTICIPATED WITH THIS
SYSTEM. NEXT WARNINGS AT 140900Z4 (DTG 140755Z2) AND
142100Z8 (DTG 141955Z5). MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT
AT 131800Z3 IS 8 FEET. REFER TO WWPW31 FOR ADDITIONAL SEA
HEIGHT INFORMATION. REFER TO TYPHOON KIRK (13W)(WTPN31
PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES AND TROPICAL DEPRESSION 15W
(WTPN32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY UPDATES. 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.//
