*ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT
THE SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED TO INTENSIFY WITH TIGHTLY-CURVED BANDING
(TCB). ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW. THE
CURRENT POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED ON THE AVERAGE OF DVORAK
ESTIMATE FIXES FROM RJTD AND PGTW. TY 08W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING UNDER
THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A DEEP SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) ENTRENCHED

KOREAN PENINSULA AFTER TAU 48. DURING THIS SEGMENT OF THE FORECAST,
THE SYSTEM WILL REACH PEAK INTENSITY AT 90 KNOTS. BY TAU 72, TY 08W
WILL BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION, CROSS THE CENTRAL REGION OF THE
KOREAN PENINSULA, AND EXIT INTO THE SEA OF JAPAN. THE AVAILABLE
NUMERIC GUIDANCE ARE IN OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT UP TO TAU 48, AFTER
