REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) SAT 27 AUGUST POSITION: 18.5N 122.1E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 14W (NANMADOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 400 NM SOUTH OF
TAIPEI, TAIWAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER THE PAST
SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 270531Z
AMSR-E IMAGE INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM IS SKIRTING THE NORTHEAST TIP
OF LUZON BUT HAS MAINTAINED TIGHTLY-CURVED BANDING AND CENTRAL
CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
INDICATES FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW. TY 14W IS TRACKING ALONG
THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THE
27/00Z 500 MB ANALYSIS SHOWS AN ANTICYCLONE JUST SOUTHWEST OF KYUSHU
WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH OVER CENTRAL CHINA. MODEL GUIDANCE, WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF NOGAPS AND GFDN, INDICATES THAT THIS TROUGH WILL
PROPAGATE NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE EAST SEA BY TAU 96 WITH THE STR
BUILDING BACK OVER CENTRAL CHINA AND THE EAST CHINA SEA BY TAU 120.
NOGAPS CONTINUES TO DRIVE TY 14W RAPIDLY NORTHEASTWARD INTO 15W.
THIS SCENARIO IS NOW DEEMED UNLIKELY DUE TO THE NEAR 1000 NM
SEPARATION DISTANCE BETWEEN 14W AND 15W. THE REMAINING DYNAMIC
GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THIS NEW FORECAST PHILOSOPHY WITH ECMWF, UKMO,
WBAR AND JGSM INDICATING A TURN NORTHWESTWARD INTO
NORTHERN TAIWAN...(more info)
