TRMM's analysis of rainfall within System 97W on Dec. 3 showed a very limited area of moderate rainfall. The yellow and green areas indicate rainfall between .78 to 1.57 inches per hour.


System 97W's open center is near 17.3 North latitude and 141.0 East longitude, about 310 nautical miles northwest of Guam. Satellite data shows that the deepest convection (strongest thunderstorm activity) is to the north and northwest of the center, pushed there from wind shear.
