On November 5, a depression off the coast of the Philippines evolved into Tropical depression Quiel. Quiel intensified to become the twenty-fourth tropical storm of the season and was named Nakri by JMA. original forecasts showed it hitting Vietnam as a minor tropical storm, or a depression. however, on November 7, unexpected strengthening occurred, and the storm intensified into a typhoon. On November 9, Nakri began to weaken as it dropped beneath typhoon intensity because of the strong wind shear.[1]
