Hagåtña, Guam
During August 6, the JMA started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed about to the northeast of Hagåtña, Guam. The system was located within an area that was considered moderately favorable for further development, with low to moderate vertical windshear and a good outflow.&lt;ref name="STWA 5/8"&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; Over the next day, convection wrapped around the system's low-level circulation and the system gradually consolidated, before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the JTWC later during that day.
