*TYPHOON (TY) 04W (CHANTHU). LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 10 NM NORTH OF
ZHANJIANG, CHINA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
220600Z AMSU 89 GHZ IMAGE INDICATE THAT TY 04W MADE LANDFALL AT
APPROXIMATELY 22/06Z WITH A 15 NM ROUND EYE EVIDENT, THEREFORE,
THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION. THE CURRENT
INTENSITY OF 75 KNOTS IS BASED ON THE LOWER RANGE OF DVORAK
ESTIMATES OF 77 (KNES) TO 90 KNOTS (RJTD). TY 04W IS TRACKING
NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE EXTENDING WEST INTO EASTERN CHINA. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO
TRACK WEST-NORTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE NUMERICAL
MODEL GUIDANCE IS TIGHTLY CLUSTERED AND SUPPORTS THIS FORECAST WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF TC-LAPS WHICH DEPICTS AN UNLIKELY RE-CURVE TRACK.
THIS FORECAST IS POSITIONED LEFT OF THE JTWC MODEL CONSENSUS. TY 04W
IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN QUICKLY AFTER TAU 12 AS IT MOVES AWAY FROM THE
GULF OF TONKIN AND SHOULD DISSIPATE BETWEEN TAU 24 AND 36 JUST NORTH
OF VIETNAM...(more)
