Current Status and Outlook

04W (EGAY) has rapidly accelerated west-northwestward during the past 12 hours and weakened into a Tropical Depression (TD) while over the northern part of the Central Philippine Sea.  The weakening of the system was due to strong upper-level winds (vertical wind shear) which has degraded the system's circulation.
