*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 07W, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 320 NM NORTHWEST
OF PALAU, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS DURING THE PAST SIX
HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS DEEP CONVECTION
ORGANIZING AROUND A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH BANDS
OF DEEP, BUT FRAGMENTED, CONVECTION STARTING TO WRAP AROUND THE
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN SIDES OF THE SYSTEM. STRONG OUTFLOW CAN BE
SEEN TO THE SOUTHWEST AND TO THE EAST INTO THE TROPICAL UPPER
TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH LOCATED EAST OF THE SYSTEM. A 211713Z AMSR-E
PASS SHOWS A SERIES OF FRAGMENTED BANDING FEATURES WRAPPING INTO THE
LLCC FROM THE NORTH, WITH DEEP CONVECTION AT THE CENTER. A 211301Z
ASCAT PASS SHOWS AN ELONGATED DEPRESSION WITHIN THE MONSOON TROUGH
WITH A CLOSED 20-25KT CIRCULATION AND REGIONS OF 25-30KTS OF WIND TO
THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE LLCC. THE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY TRACKING
ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID-PACIFIC HIGH LOCATED TO
THE NORTHEAST. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING TO THE
NORTHWEST FOR 60 HOURS. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN VERY GOOD
AGREEMENT DURING THIS PERIOD. NEAR TAU 60, NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE
STARTS TO FALL OUT OF AGREEMENT WITH NOGAPS RECURVING SHARPLY TO THE
EAST, ECMWF CONTINUING INTO TAIWAN, AND GFS, UKMET AND JGSM
