*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 14W (NANMADOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 140
NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF TAIPEI, TAIWAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR LOOPS FROM SOUTHERN TAIWAN VERIFY THAT
TS 14W IS CROSSING SOUTHERN TAIWAN AND WEAKENING. INFRARED IMAGERY
SHOWS A TREMENDOUS BURST OF CONVECTION OVER SOUTHERN TAIWAN AND THE
NORTHERN LUZON STRAIT, BUT THERE ARE NO SURFACE REPORTS OF SEVERE
WIND AND THE FEW REPORTING STATIONS IN THE REGION INDICATE THAT THE
LAND INTERACTION IS SEVERELY WEAKENING THE STORM. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A DEVELOPING POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL ON THE
NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE SYSTEM, WHILE EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW REMAINS
VIGOROUS. THE MOST RECENT UPPER AIR SOUNDING FROM TAIPEI REVEALS
THAT A STRONG RIDGE HAS BUILT IN FROM THE NORTHEAST, WHICH IS
STEERING THE STORM ON AN INCREASINGLY WESTWARD
COURSE...(more info)
