*TROPICAL STORM (TS)07W (MEARI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 205 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT
21 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS A FULLY EXPOSED AND INTACT LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER BUT VOID OF CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON
THE ABOVE ANIMATION AND THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON A 35-KT
DVORAK ESTIMATE FROM PGTW AND KNES AND FROM NEARBY SHIP AND LAND
OBSERVATIONS. TS O7W HAS DEFLECTED TO THE NORTHWEST AS ITS VERTICAL
STRUCTURE ERODED AND A LOWER REFLECTION OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO
THE SOUTHEAST ASSUMED STEERING. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO ROUND THE
NORTHWESTERN EDGE OF THE STEERING RIDGE AND RECURVE NORTHEASTWARD
OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. IT WILL THEN MAKE LANDFALL AND DISSIPATE
BEFORE TAU 24. THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN LOOSE
AGREEMENT BUT ALL FAVOR THE RECURVATURE SCENARIO WITH GFDN TO THE
LEFT OF AND JGSM TO THE RIGHT OF THE ENVELOPE. THIS TRACK FORECAST
IS RIGHT ALONG BUT SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN CONSENSUS...(
