MUIFA's (KABAYAN) circulation remains intense with organized spiral bands convection on all sides, except for the NW portion. The typhoon's core continues to exhibit a small, cloud-filled eye surrounded by an inner and outer eyewall, which depicts an ongoing Eyewall Replacement Cycle (ERC). Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CLOUD-FILLED EYE - over water (North Philippine Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) can be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE). INNER & OUTER EYEWALL - over water (North Philippine Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Typhoon Conditions with Typhoon Force Winds (>118 kph) can be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall). INNER RAINBANDS - over water (North Philippine Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (Western Pacific), but already spreading & affecting across Iwo To and Bonin Islands. 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 300 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the OUTER & INNER RAINBANDS...with isolated amounts of up to 600 mm (very high) to the NE of MUIFA's (KABAYAN's) center.

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) TUE 02 AUGUST POSITION: 21.5N 134.2E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 11W (MUIFA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 440 NM SOUTHEAST OF
KADENA AIR BASE, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE
REGENERATION OF AN EYEWALL STRUCTURE BEGINNING TO TAKE FORM WITH A
EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE HAVING RECENTLY OCCURRED. A 01/1705Z AMSRE
37GHZ IMAGE SHOWS WELL DEFINED MULTIPLE CONCENTRIC BANDING. A
01/1714Z AMSU-B IMAGE REVEALS THAT THERE IS A SLIGHT SOUTHWARD
DISPLACEMENT OF THE UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION FROM THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER EVIDENT ON THE AFOREMENTIONED AMSRE IMAGE. THE
RECENT UPPER LEVEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS AND ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW THAT THE LLCC OF TY 11W IS IN AN AREA OF WEAK
(05-10 KNOTS) NORTHERLY VERTICAL WINDSHEAR. HOWEVER, FURTHER TO THE
NORTH LIES STRONG (30-40 KNOTS) NORTHERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGHING FROM A
TRANSITORY MID-LATITUDE EXTRATROPICAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN
CONJUNCTION WITH STRONG CONFLUENT FLOW ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF A
BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH. TY 11W IS CURRENTLY BEING
STEERED NORTHWARDS BY DEEP LAYERED RIDGING FROM THE SOUTHEAST. AFTER
TAU 12, TY 11W WILL BEGIN TO BE STEERED NORTHWESTWARDS BY A BUILDING
DEEP LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH AND THIS RIDGE WILL
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE STEERING FLOW FOR THE STORM THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST...more info)
