JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) WED 03 AUGUST POSITION: 24.2N 132.6E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 11W (MUIFA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AIR BASE, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT
07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS TY 11W HAS MAINTAINED A HIGHLY SYMMETRICAL PROFILE
THAT HAS EXPANDED TO OVER 500 NM. ADDITIONALLY, A SECONDARY EYEWALL
APPEARS TO BE FORMING AROUND A TIGHTLY-WRAPPED 20-NM DIAMETER EYE,
AS DEPICTED ON A 022055Z SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INITIAL POSITION
AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON DVORAK EYE FIXES FROM PGTW, KNES, AND
RJTD WITH INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 102-115 KNOTS. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS DIRECTLY UNDER A RIDGE AXIS
EXTENDING FROM AN ANTICYCLONE TO THE NORTHWEST. ALTHOUGH THE
ANTICYCLONE IS CAUSING SOME SUBSIDENCE ALONG THE NORTHWEST
PERIPHERY, THIS IS OVERSHADOWED BY EXCELLENT RADIAL OUTFLOW, AS
EVIDENT ON ANIMATED WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY. TY 11W IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED JUST SOUTHEAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN.
