Forum:2011 Pacific typhoon season/Sarika

===05W:SARIKAEdit=== ====Tropical Depression 05W (Dodong)Edit==== And a new storm develops. As I mentioned earlier, if it becomes named, it will become Sarika. It's currently in the South China Sea, and it's expected to head north, hit China as a TS, and then die away(the TD above wasn't monitored by the JMA, it's technically not 05W).

 * Nice too see the tropics picking up in activity. Yqt1001 14:00, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's now been named by PAGASA, and the last time ths was used was in 2007, for tropical storm Wutip. This storm will likely not do too much to the Philipines, and possibly cause some heavy flooding in China. The Pacific is on a roll, four storms thus far, and two major hurricanes, including a may cat. 5. I will be watching out for Sarika in the next few days. Ryan1000 16:47, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

====Tropical Storm SarikaEdit==== And now it is Sarika. Yqt1001 20:47, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It probrably won't get far past minimal TS intensity, but it still could cause flooding when it hits China. It's a minor tropical storm as of now, and I'd call for a 45 knot peak or so. Ryan1000 21:16, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * And it's made it's landing in southern China. They likely won't suffer so much from this dud, but it all depends. Ryan1000 15:40, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now it's down and out. Ryan1000 14:42, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
