      Tropical Storm Nesat sported a large, dramatic eye on October 19, 2022,   
      when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image. At the time,   
      Nesat was losing strength as it battled an intervening cold front as   
      the storm moved westward over the South China Sea towards Vietnam.   
      
      Although the system started the day with maximum sustained winds of   
      about 60 mph (96.5 km/h), as of 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC) on October 19,   
      Nesat was very close to a Tropical Depression, carrying maximum   
      sustained winds of 40 mph (64.4 km/h). By definition, a tropical storm   
      carries maximum sustained winds of 39-73 mph (53-117.5 km/h) while a   
      tropical depression’s winds are 38 mph (61 mph) or less. According to   
      the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Tropical Storm Nesat was   
      located 110 miles (178 km) north of Da Nang, Vietnam and was tracking   
      northwestward.   
      
      Tropical Storm Nesat is forecast to weaken through the next 24 hours   
      and forward motion should slow, bringing landfall over eastern Vietnam   
      on October 20-21. It is expected to stall shortly after landfall, then   
      dissipate quickly. Parts of central Vietnam are still dealing with   
      damage from Tropical Storm Sonca. That storm made landfall on October   
      14-15 and brought flooding and landslides. About 3,700 people were   
      displaced during Sonca and at least on person died.
