Iona crosses into the Western Pacific basin and promptly dissipates.
New tropical depression forms out of the massive monsoon gyre southeast of Okinawa. Co-May and Krosa are leaving the scene, while Iona will cross over from the Central Pacific this weekend.
Co-May remains weak to the NW of Okinawa, Krosa is meandering near Iwo Jima, and a large belt of gale-force winds dominates the Philippine Sea. Hurricane Iona could enter the basin this weekend.
