JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) SAT 28 AUGUST POSITION: 18.4N 117.5E.
*ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A PARTIALLY-EXPOSED
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER WITH INCREASING CLOUD COVER NORTHEAST
OF THE MAIN CONVECTIVE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM. THE CURRENT
POSITION IS EXTRAPOLATED FROM THE ABOVE ANIMATION AND FROM NEARBY
SHIP OBSERVATIONS. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS AVERAGED FROM DVORAK
ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, RJTD, AND KNES, RANGING FROM 25 TO 35 KNOTS.
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES 07W IS SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS IN AN
AREA OF MODERATE 15-20 KNOT NORTHEASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
(VWS). THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS VWS DE-
CREASES WHILE IT TRACKS ALONG THE SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A MID-
LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. BY TAU 48, A SECONDARY SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
ACROSS EASTERN CHINA ASSUMES STEERING FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF
A DEEP MIDLATITUDE TROUGH. THIS WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO TRACK ON
A MORE WESTWARD TRAJECTORY. THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC AIDS ARE IN FAIR
AGREEMENT UP TO TAU 48 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GFS WHICH DEPICTS A
SHARP DEVIATION TO THE RIGHT OF THE ENVELOPE. AFTER TAU 48, THE
MODELS DEVIATE IN ALL DIRECTIONS AS MANY OF THEM LOSE THE VORTEX
ONCE IT MAKES LANDFALL NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG.
