MUIFA (KABAYAN) is expected to continue moving Northward into the Yellow Sea & pass close to the easternmost handle of the Shandong Peninsula within the next 12 to 24 hours. After 24 hours, this system will continue to decay...making landfall along Liaoning Province by Monday evening. It will recurve towards the NE as it dissipates over land on Tuesday through Wednesday along Jilin & Heilongjiang Provinces. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system. 
TOMORROW EARLY MORNING (MON): Weakens slightly as it moves closer to the Shandong Peninsula...about 283 km ESE of Qingdao, China [2AM AUG 08: 35.7N 123.4E @ 100kph]. TOMORROW AFTERNOON (MON): Approaching Liaoning Province...weakens further...about 227 km WSW of Pyongyang, North Korea [2PM AUG 08: 38.4N 123.2E @ 95kph]. TUESDAY EARLY MORNING: Moving over land, along the rugged terrain of Liaoning Province, China...barely a Tropical Storm (TS)...about 266 km NW of Pyongyang, North Korea 2AM AUG 09: 40.7N 123.6E @ 65kph]. TUESDAY AFTERNOON: Downgraded into a Tropical Depression as it continues to dissipate over Liaoning Province (Northeastern China)...about 416 km NNW of Pyongyang, North Korea [2PM AUG 09: 42.7N 125.1E @ 45kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 110 km/hr (60 knots) with higher gusts. MUIFA (KABAYAN) is a Tropical Storm (TS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. This system will continue to lose strength within the next 24 hours. Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 465 kilometers (250 nautical miles) from the center. MUIFA remains a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 970 kilometers (525 nautical miles) across. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: Dissipated over land...just a remnant low along Jilin & Heilongjiang Provinces...accelerating ENE towards Eastern Russia [2PM AUG 10: 44.8N 129.6E @ 35kph].

Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.
MUIFA's (KABAYAN) circulation continues to decay especially along the western quadrant. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: DECAYING EYEWALL - over water (East China Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Near-Typhoon Conditions with Near-Typhoon Force Winds (100-117 kph) can be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall). INNER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting Western Coast of South Korea & the Southern Yellow Sea. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-99 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the coastal areas of Jiangsu Province, East China & Northern Yellow Sea, Western Kyushu, Shandong Peninsula, North & South Korea. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands). 24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 100 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of up to 200 mm (high) along areas near the center or over the Eyewall of MUIFA (KABAYAN).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) SUN 07 AUGUST POSITION: 33.1N 123.9E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 11W (MUIFA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 120 NM WEST
OF CHEJU ISLAND, SOUTH KOREA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 14 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE MAGERY (MSI)
SHOWS CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDING SURROUNDING THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 07/0522Z AMSU-B 89 GHZ MICROWAVE
SATELLITE IMAGE INDICATES MOST OF THIS CONVECTION IS CONCENTRATED
ALONG THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN PERIPHERIES OF THE LLCC AND HAS
BECOME SHALLOWER DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. CURRENT POSITION IS
BASED ON THE ABOVEMENTIONED MSI AND MICROWAVE IMAGERY WITH FAIR
CONFIDENCE. INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD RANGING FROM 55 TO 65 KNOTS. 07/00Z UPPER
LEVEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS INDICATES TS MUIFA IS LOCATED JUST
SOUTHEAST OF AN UPPER LEVEL MID-LATITUDE CYCLONE WITH A TROUGH
EXTENDING SOUTHWARD. CURRENT VERTICAL WINDSHEAR IS WEAK (10-15
KNOTS) AND INCREASES NORTH OF TS 11W. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WITH DECREASING EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. A REGION OF DRYER AIR IS
MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF TS 11W FROM EASTERN CHINA. TS
MUIFA IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-
LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN HONSHU. THIS
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD DUE TO DECREASING SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (< 26 DEGREES
CELSIUS), INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (> 30 KNOTS), AND
INTERACTION WITH LAND. TS 11W IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL IN
NORTHEASTERN CHINA BETWEEN TAUS 24 AND 36 AND THEN DISSIPATE OVER
LAND BY TAU 72...more info)
