OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading and affecting portions of Northern China, North & South Korea, Sea of Japan, East China Sea and the main Japanese Islands of Kyushu and Westernmost Honshu.. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
12-18HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 75 mm (low to medium rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 130 mm (medium-high) near the center of MEARI (FALCON). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) SUN 26 JUNE POSITION: 35.1N 124.4E.
*TROPICAL STORM 07W (MEARI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 190 NM
SOUTHWEST OF SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 30 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY SHOWS A VERY
WELL DEFINED CIRCULATION THAT IS DEVOID OF DEEP CONVECTION. ANIMATED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW HAS MOVED INTO THE
REGION FROM THE WEST. THE SUBSIDENCE OF THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW, ALONG
WITH UNFAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AROUND TS 07W, ARE
SUPPRESSING THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP CONVECTION. THE SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) LOCATED TO THE SOUTHEAST. POSITION IS BASED
ON THE FIX FROM PGTW AND FROM ANIMATED RADAR DATA FROM SOUTH KOREA.
INTENSITY IS BASED ON LOCAL SHORE OBSERVATIONS AND A PREVIOUS
251324Z ASCAT PASS...(
