El supertifón sigue manteniendo de forma oficial los 145 KT... aunque las imágenes del satélite revelan que el anillo convectivo anular se ha contraido algo, y calentado, lo que se traduce en un cierto debilitamiento.
SUPER TYPHOON (STY) 19W (VONGFONG), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 510 NM
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AB, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS A FAIRLY SYMMETRIC ANNULUS OF DEEP CONVECTION
SURROUNDING A ROUND 23-NM EYE. A 081234Z AMSU-B IMAGE INDICATES DEEP
CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM. BASED ON THE ROUND EYE,
THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION AND RECENT MOTION.
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 145 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK
INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM T7.0 TO T7.5 (140 TO 155 KNOTS).
UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO INDICATE EXCELLENT RADIAL OUTFLOW,
ENHANCED BY A TUTT CELL TO THE EAST. STY 19W IS TRACKING ALONG THE
SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR). THE 08/00Z 500MB
ANALYSIS DEPICTS A BREAK IN THE STR OVER OKINAWA WITH ZONAL WESTERLY
MIDLATITUDE FLOW POLEWARD OF THE STR.
Y los pronósticos siguen apostando por un impacto casi directo en Okinawa... :</O :</O :</O
