Damrey was 1,095 miles almost due east of Kadena at 3 p.m. Monday, edging west-southwest at 5 mph. As far north as it is and with a rather unfavourable environment for development, too far north, strong vertical wind shear, JTWC forecasts Damrey to develop only into a severe tropical storm, topping out at 63-mph sustained winds and 81-mph gusts at mid-morning Wednesday.
