SOUTHEAST OF IWO TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
10 NM EYE WITH THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTIVE BANDING ALONG THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY. THE INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS IMPROVED
CONVECTIVE BANDING AROUND THE EYE AND A BANDING FEATURE ALONG THE
EASTERN PERIPHERY. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS AND ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY INDICATE OUTFLOW IS INHIBITED ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN
PERIPHERY DUE TO SUBSIDENCE CAUSED BY CONVERGENT FLOW ALOFT. TY 08W
MAINTAINS EXCELLENT EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND OUTFLOW INTO A TROPICAL
UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH TO THE NORTHWEST. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS
BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 100 TO
