This system will continue losing strength within the next 12 to 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 890 kilometers (480 nautical miles) across.
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Extended Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km on Day 3...450 km on Day 4...and 650 km on Day 5, while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. 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.
EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Mostly cloudy skies with occasional showers & rains will continue to prevail across the following affected areas: WESTERN LUZON. Moderate to strong SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow.
MUIFA's (KABAYAN) circulation continues to decay as it moves across the cooler waters of the Yellow Sea. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: INNER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the eastern coast of Shandong Peninsula, North Yellow Sea, & the Western Coast of the Korean Peninsula. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-99 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the Liaoning & Jilin Provinces of China, the rest of the Korean Peninsula, Cheju Island, & South Yellow Sea. 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 75 mm (low to medium rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of up to 110 mm (high) along areas near the center of MUIFA (KABAYAN).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) MON 08 AUGUST POSITION: 36.0N 123.8E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 11W (MUIFA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 140 NM WEST
OF KUNSAN AIR BASE, SOUTH KOREA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 15 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED (IR) SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A FULLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH DEEP
CONVECTION CONTAINED WITHIN A RAINBAND OVER THE KOREAN PENINSULA. A
07/1802Z 89 GHZ AMRE-E IMAGE SHOWS THE FULLY EXPOSED LLCC, WHICH
COVERS THE MAJORITY OF THE YELLOW SEA, AND THE DEEPEST CONVECTION
OVER THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE PENINSULA. THE CURRENT POSITION IS
BASED ON ANIMATED IR AND THE AFOREMENTIONED MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH
GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS HELD SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN
THE PGTW DVORAK ESTIMATE OF 45 KNOTS DUE TO IT BEING BASED ON THE
MODEL EXPECTED T-NUMBER (MET). THE DATA T-NUMBER (DT) INDICATES
SURFACE WINDS OF 55 KNOTS BASED ON THE CLOSEST DEEP CENTRALIZED
CONVECTION BEING SHEARED APPROXIMATELY 15 NM FROM THE LLCC.
THEREFORE, DUE TO THE LARGE EXTENT AND ROBUST NATURE OF THE LLCC,
INTENSITY IS HELD AT 55 KNOTS. RECENT UPPER LEVEL STREAMLINE
ANALYSIS AN ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOW THAT TS 11W CONTINUES
TO BE IN A WEAK (10-15 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) ENVIRONMENT
WITH RAPIDLY INCREASING VWS FARTHER TO THE NORTH ASSOCIATED WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL MID-LATITUDE CYCLONE WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD.
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW REMAINS VERY HEALTHY INTO TROPICAL UPPER
TROPOSPHERIC TROUGHING TO THE SOUTHEAST AND THERE CONTINUES TO BE
POLEWARD VENTING FROM A CONNECTION WITH THE MID-LATITUDE UPPER LEVEL
WESTERLIES. TS 11W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING NORTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) CENTERED OVER
SOUTHERN HONSHU. BY TAU 24 THE AFOREMENTIONED MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
WILL HAVE BROKEN DOWN THE STEERING STR AND THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN ITS
NORTHEASTWARD TURN AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE OVER SOUTHEASTERN CHINA.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT, WITH WBAR AND
GFDN INDICATING A MORE SOUTHEASTERN LANDFALL NEAR THE EASTERN NORTH
KOREAN BOARDER. THIS FORECAST FAVORS A MORE NORTHEASTERN TRACK WHICH
IS SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF, AND FASTER THAN CONSENSUS, DUE TO KNOWN MODELS
ERRORS IN THIS SCENARIO...more info)
