A subtropical cyclone in northwestern Pacific gained tropical characteristics yesterday. The JMA considered the system a tropical storm earlier today and assigned it the name LUPIT. At 2 pm, LUPIT was centred about 1820 km (980 NM) E of Tokyo.
LUPIT is the 94th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by the Philippines, meaning cruel and vicious. This name was used in 2003 and 2009.
LUPIT is moving NNE along the western periphery of the subtropical ridge. The ridge is expected to extend westward north of LUPIT soon, causing the storm to move N or NNW. Steering is strong and LUPIT will continue to move quickly in the next 24 hours.
Wind field analysis shows that LUPIT has a well-defined low-level circulation centre, with strongest winds in its southeastern periphery. The storm is however entering a region of high vertical wind shear. It is expected that LUPIT will gradually transform into an extratropical cyclone over the next 24 hours, maintaining its current intensity.
