LATEST VISUAL SATELLITE IMAGERY FROM 15/0530Z AND
SYNOPTIC DATA FROM XISHA ISLAND (WMO 59981) INDICATES
THAT TROPICAL DEPRESSION 30W (ABEL) IS MOVING SOUTHWEST
AT 08 KNOTS. DURING THE PAST 12 HOURS, SATELLITE IMAGERY
HAS SHOWN NEW CONVECTION DEVELOPING NEAR THE SYSTEMS
CENTER, HOWEVER, NO REAL ORGANIZATION IS OBSERVED. 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 150600Z IS 09 FEET. REFER TO WWPW30 PGFW FOR
ADDITIONAL SEA HEIGHT INFORMATION. REFER TO TROPICAL
DEPRESSION 31W WARNINGS (WTPN32 PGTW) FOR TWELVE-HOURLY
UPDATES. REFER TO TROPICAL STORM BETH (32W) WARNINGS
(WTPN33 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES. TROPICAL DEPRESSION
30W IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT OR NEAR 30 KNOTS AS IT
APPROACHES THE COAST OF VIETNAM WITHIN THE NEXT 36 HOURS.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 152100Z9 (DTG 151951Z2) AND 160900Z6
