The latest storm and low pressure information released by the Philippine weather agency PAGASA at 4:00 a.m. on November 9 said that at 3:00 a.m. on the same day, low pressure 11b - which formed near the Philippines since November 8 - was about 1,150 km east of southeast Luzon. At 2:00 a.m. on the same day, this low pressure entered the Philippines' PAR forecast area. It is forecasted that low pressure 11b has a high possibility of strengthening into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, a new depression - Depression 11c - formed near the Philippines shortly after 11b. At 2:00 a.m. on November 9, Depression 11c was located approximately 2,885 km east of northeastern Mindanao, outside PAR. PAGASA forecast that the new depression has a moderate chance of strengthening into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours.
The Philippine weather agency noted that two new low pressure systems have formed consecutively and are forecast to strengthen while storm Yinxing (known in the Philippines as Marce) has entered the East Sea.
At 3:00 a.m. on November 9, Typhoon Yinxing - currently the seventh typhoon in the East Sea - was about 500 km west of Laoag, Ilocos Norte, Philippines, with maximum sustained winds near the storm center of 155 km/h, gusts of 190 km/h, and was moving west-northwest at a speed of 20 km/h.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), TDb - a low pressure system that the Philippines calls 11c - is certain to enter the East Sea.
JMA's latest storm forecast states that low pressure TDb will strengthen into a tropical storm on November 9 and maintain its storm intensity until at least November 13, when the forecast period ends.
This storm is likely to make landfall in the Philippines on November 11 and enter the East Sea - becoming storm number 8 in the East Sea - after this period.
Meanwhile, the latest storm and low pressure information from the US Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) said that in addition to the two low pressure areas near the Philippines called Invest 92W and Invest 93W by JTWC, a third low pressure area - Invest 94W - has also formed.
The latest low pressure is located in the western Pacific Ocean. Low pressure Invest 94W is forecast to strengthen into a storm in the next 24 hours. The new low pressure has maximum sustained surface winds of about 25-35 km/h.
JTWC forecasters said that the Invest 94W depression is in a favorable environment to strengthen further, with low to moderate wind shear (15-20 knots) and warm sea surface temperatures (30-31 degrees Celsius). Forecast models predict that Invest 94W will continue to move northwestward with stable intensity over the next 2 days.
