REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 PM (12 GMT) FRI 26 AUGUST POSITION: 22.1N 139.7E.
*TROPICAL STORM 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF IWO TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD
AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING HAS FURTHER CONSOLIDATED AND
EXPANDED INTO THE NORTHERN QUADRANT OF THE STORM. A 261200Z ASCAT
PASS DEPICTS WIDE SWATHS OF 35- TO 40-KNOT UNFLAGGED WIND BARBS
ALONG THE NORTHERN TO EASTERN AND ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERIES,
WITH WEAKER WINDS TOWARDS THE CENTER, CHARACTERISTIC OF A MONSOON
DEPRESSION. THE INITIAL POSITION WAS BASED ON THE ABOVE ANIMATION
AND ENCLOSED IN A NOTCH FEATURE ON A 261023Z 37HZ SSMIS MICROWAVE
IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY WAS BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD
DVORAK ESTIMATES. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS UNDER
A RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA OF LOW (05-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS).
A WATER VAPOR SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC
TROUGH (TUTT) IS CAUSING SUBSIDENCE ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY, HOWEVER, A TUTT CELL TO THE NORTHEAST IS ENHANCING
POLEWARD OUTFLOW. ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS AN EXCELLENT
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL, GENERATED BY THE RIDGE AXIS OVERHEAD.
TS 15W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN EXTENSION OF A
NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE SOUTH...(more info)
