REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) SAT 27 AUGUST POSITION: 22.6N 139.4E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 160 NM
SOUTHWEST OF IWO TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 06
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS AN EXPANSIVE, LOOSELY ORGANIZED SYSTEM WITH A RELATIVELY OPEN
CENTER AND A SLOW TREND TOWARD CONSOLIDATION AROUND THE CORE. A
261907Z SSMI SERIES (37H AND 85H) INDICATES THE MAJORITY OF DEEP
CONVECTION IS OVER THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE, WITH ALL CONVECTION
DISPLACED OUTWARDS FROM THE CENTER. A 261200Z ASCAT PASS CONFIRMS
THAT THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE DISPLACED TOWARDS THE OUTER PERIPHERY
OF THE STORM, AND THAT OVER THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE, GALE FORCE WINDS
EXTEND 180NM FROM THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES THE TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH TO
THE NORTH IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPINGING ON POLEWARD OUTFLOW.
OVERALL, THE SYSTEM HAS DECENT RADIAL OUTFLOW. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
IS CURRENTLY 13 KNOTS AND DECREASING. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED
ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 45 KNOTS FROM PGTW AND RJTD. TS 15W IS BEING
STEERED POLEWARD BY AN ANTICYCLONE LOCATED JUST EAST OF THE MARIANAS
IN THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE. THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS ANCHORED OFF-
SHORE OF TOKYO AND BLOCKING MOVEMENT TOWARDS HONSHU. TS 15W WILL
SLOWLY DRIFT POLEWARD IN A WEAK AND COMPLEX STEERING ENVIRONMENT
DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE ENVIRONMENT FAVORS GRADUAL
INTENSIFICATION DUE TO WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND DECREASING
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ALONG THE TRACK. MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS ERRATIC,
BUT CONSENSUS IS BALANCING THE OUTLIERS. THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST
STAYS CLOSE TO CONSENSUS AND THE JGSM SOLUTION...(more info)
