EYE SURROUNDED BY DEEP CONVECTION IN ALL QUADRANTS. THE FOR-
WARD MOTION OF THE STORM HAS DECREASED OVER THE PAST SIX
HOURS AS IT APPROACHES THE RIDGE AXIS. TY KONG-REY CONTINUES
TO TRACK ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TOWARD A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE. THE SYSTEM
HAS BEGUN TO TRACK INCREASINGLY POLEWARD OVER THE PAST SIX
HOURS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO, BEFORE TURNING SHARPLY
NORTHEASTWARD AND ACCELERATING AS THE SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH
THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES BY 24 HOURS. THE WESTERLIES ARE
ENHANCED IN FRONT OF AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
THAT IS DEEPENING AND SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD...(more info)
