*TROPICAL DEPRESSION 07W (MEARI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 170 NM WEST
OF SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, HAS TRACKED NORTHEASTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS AN
EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER THAT IS LOSING ORGANIZATION AND
PRODUCING VERY LITTLE DEEP CONVECTION. THE SYSTEM IS TAKING ON THE
APPEARANCE OF AN EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM. HOWEVER A 26/13Z AMSU CROSS
SECTION INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM STILL HAS A 4 DEGREE CELSIUS WARM
ANOMALY ALOFT AND NO COLD ANOMALY IN THE LOWER LEVELS, FEATURES THAT
INDICATE THAT THE SYSTEM IS STILL MOSTLY TROPICAL. THE SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY ACCELERATING ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE
