Tropical Storm Linfa (Bagyong Egay) continues to linger across the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) this morning.

TS Linfa is moving northward at 10kph.

Latest satellite image show Tropical Storm Linfa meandering across the South China Sea. Convective activity remains rather strong this morning, despite being slightly displaced southwest of the low-level circulation center. Moderate easterly wind shear is hindering Linfa from intensifying but the storm is still managing to enhance light to moderate rains across the western coast of Luzon.
Tropical Storm Linfa will continue moving slowly to the north and will be moving very near Southern Taiwan tomorrow. Light to moderate rains are possible in the island. Increasingly unfavorable conditions will lead to further weakening and we expect Linfa to become a Tropical Depression by Thursday as it makes landfall in Guangdong Province in China.
