western pacific Tropical Depression 14W

[Somerset Squall]

A tropical depression has formed in the northern South China Sea, from invest 90W. 14W is located just southeast of Hainan Island and has winds of 25kts. 14W is currently being affected by shear, and the majority of the system's convection is being sheared away from the LLCC, to the northwest. Because of this environment, no change in strength is expected prior to landfall on eastern Hainan, in a little over 12 hours. 14W will then make a second landfall over the adjacent portion of southern China, and fully dissipate.

14W is moving inland, and JTWC have issued their last advisory. Most of the convection seems to have dissipated, so rainfall shouldn't be too much of a problem any longer.
