Latest satellite image shows the bulk of convection and rainclouds associated with TD 92W are moving across Mindanao and Visayas. The system has consolidated after making landfall in Surigao del Sur last night and has, then, been upgraded into a Tropical Depression by JMA. PAGASA hasn't upgraded this system yet but if they do, they'll give it a local name of 'Bagyong Auring'.
