*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 11W (MUIFA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 160 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 12 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
(MSI) SHOWS SHALLOW CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION
CONCENTRATED ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY. A 07/0506Z 89H GHZ AMSR-E
MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGE ALSO SHOWS THIS FRAGMENTED SHALLOW
CONVECTION WRAPPING IN FROM THE KOREAN PENINSULA INTO THE NORTHERN
AND WESTERN QUADRANTS OF TS 11W. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON
THE AFOREMENTIONED MSI AND MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE, AND
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE PGTW DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOW TS 11W
IN A REGION OF WEAK (10-20 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) WITH
EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL CYCLONE AND GOOD
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW ALONG THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A TROPICAL
UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT) CELL TO THE SOUTHEAST. TS 11W IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING NORTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-
LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN HONSHU. TS
MUIFA CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN A FAIRLY SYMMETRICAL STRUCTURE AND IS
EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL NEAR THE CHINESE-NORTH KOREAN BORDER
DURING THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS. AFTER TAU 12, A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
WILL HAVE BROKEN DOWN THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE, AND THE SYSTEM
WILL BEGIN ITS NORTHEASTWARD TURN AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CHINA BY TAU 36. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EGRR STRAYING TO THE EAST OF THE
GUIDANCE ENVELOPE DURING THE FIRST 24 HOURS AND GFS TO THE LEFT AT
TAU 36. THIS FORECAST IS CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND REMAINS
SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN CONSENSUS TO ACCOUNT FOR KNOWN MODEL ERRORS
DURING RECURVATURE...more info)
