^TYPHOON (TY) FUNG-WONG (09W) HAS TRACKED GENERALLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND HAS MODERATELY INTENSIFIED IN FAVORABLE
OCEAN HEAT CONTENT AND UNDER FAVORABLE OUTFLOW CHANNELS ALOFT. THE
WESTWARD EXTENSION OF THE MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE THAT HAD BUILT
TO THE NORTH OF THE SYSTEM OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS HAS SINCE BEGUN
TO ERODE IN RESPONSE TO A TRANSITORY MID-LATITUDE TROUGH THAT IS
CURRENTLY ANALYZED OVER CENTRAL CHINA. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE TYPHOON
ITSELF HAS ALSO HELPED IN ERODING THIS WEAKENED RIDGE EXTENSION.
THIS EROSION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A CONTINUAL POLEWARD TREND, AS WELL
AS INCREASED AREA WITHIN THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE FOR STORM GROWTH.
THIS INCREASED AREA HAS AIDED IN STORM SYMMETRY AND ALLOWED THE ONCE
40+ NM EYE TO COMPRESS AND BECOME MORE REGULAR THAN IRREGULAR; THOUGH
THE EYE HAS REMAINED RAGGED AND PARTIALLY CLOUD-FILLED. THIS COM-
PRESSION IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE INTENSIFICATION TREND. IN ADDITION,
THE TUTT (TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH) CELL TO THE SOUTHEAST
OF THE TYPHOON HAS BEGUN TO SLOWLY FILL AND HAS BECOME FAR ENOUGH
REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM TO SUSTAIN PREVIOUS LEVELS OF EQUATORWARD
ENHANCEMENT...(more)
