*TROPICAL STORM 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 760 NM
SOUTH OF TOKYO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 02 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY (IR) DEPICTS
A BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH IMPROVED CONVECTIVE
BANDING WRAPPING FROM THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT.
UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES GOOD OUTFLOW ALTHOUGH A SMALL CYCLONE
IS EVIDENT OVER THE CENTER; THIS CYCLONE IS LIKELY INHIBITING THE
FORMATION OF CENTRAL CONVECTION. THERE IS FAIR CONFIDENCE IN THE
CURRENT POSITION BASED ON THE 271011Z SSMIS 37 GHZ IMAGE AND THE
271140Z ASCAT IMAGE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK
ESTIMATES OF 45 KNOTS FROM ALL AGENCIES AND THE ASCAT DATA WHICH
