Dissipated 28W (Western Pacific) (South of Japan)
Storm overview
This discussion is for Tropical Depression Twenty-eight (28W), which is active over the western Pacific.
A tropical depression remains active a few hundred kilometers southeast of Iōto in Japan’s Ogasawara Islands. The depression has not undergone any significant changes in strength or structure over the past several hours; its low-level center remains exposed and only a few isolated bursts of deep convection continue to flare up to the southwest. This system continues to move toward the west-northwest under the steering influence of a deep-layered subtropical ridge positioned to the northeast. Upper-level convergence associated with a trough positioned directly above the depression is suppressing any potential for outflow development, preventing the depression from developing in an otherwise highly favorable environment.
This system is likely to stop producing persistent thunderstorm activity and will degenerate into a remnant low as it passes well to the south of Iōto by the end of the week.
