Tropical Storm Dom, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Oyang, was a weak yet deadly tropical storm which affected the Philippines and Vietnam in October 1986. The thirty-fourth depression and twenty tropical storm of the 1986 Pacific typhoon season, Dom developed from a tropical disturbance in the Philippine Sea on October 9. As it crossed the Philippines, Dom slowly strengthened, becoming a tropical storm as it crossed into the South China Sea later that day. After making landfall in Vietnam on October 11, Dom rapidly weakened, dissipating the next day in the Laos-Vietnam border.

Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionOn October 2, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring a tropical disturbance which was 630 km (390 mi) east of Samar, the Philippines. Throughout the next seven days, the disturbance struggled to coalesce as it crossed the Philippines, but on 18:00 UTC on October 8, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the system after it entered the South China Sea. Several hours later, they would issue their first advisory on the system, naming it Dom as it had intensified into a tropical storm.
