Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionIn mid-September 2003, the monsoonal trough spawned a tropical disturbance east-northeast of Luzon. At the time, the system was in an environment with low wind shear and favorable conditions, allowing the disturbance to rapidly develop. On 00:00 UTC on September 16, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) would state that the disturbance had developed into a tropical depression.[2] On 01:30 UTC the next day, the JTWC would first note the disturbance in the Philippine Sea, later issuing a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) less than 12 hours later.[3] On September 18, both the JMA and JTWC would recognize the system as a tropical storm, with the former naming it Choi-wan.[2][3]
Choi-wan would be upgraded to a severe tropical storm on September 19 as it paralleled Japan, later peaking as a typhoon at 21:00 UTC on September 20.[2] After that, Choi-wan would steadily weaken, becoming a severe tropical storm on September 22 and transitioning into an extratropical low the next day, resulting in the JTWC issuing their last advisory on the system.[2][3] The JMA would monitor the system until it crossed the International Date Line later that day.[2]
