JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) FRI 10 JUNE POSITION: 17.8N 117.8E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 05W (SARIKA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 340 NM
SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG, CHINA, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 12
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS INCREASED CENTRAL CONVECTION OVER A MORE CONSOLIDATED LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A 091628Z 37 GHZ TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGE
INDICATES A FORMATIVE BANDING EYE FEATURE WITH A MAJORITY OF THE
DEEPEST CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY. THE CURRENT
POSITION IS BASED ON THE TRMM MICROWAVE PASS WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 35 KNOTS IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN DVORAK
ESTIMATES FROM RJTD, KNES, AND PGTW RANGING FROM 25 TO 30 KNOTS,
BASED ON A 091351Z ASCAT PASS SHOWING 35 KNOT WINDS NEAR THE CENTER
AND 40 NOT WINDS ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT. TS SARIKA IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LOW- TO MID-
LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) AND IS EXPECTED TO TRACK INCREASINGLY
POLEWARD THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. TS 05W IS FORECAST TO
SLOWLY INTENSIFY DUE TO FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (>28
DEGREES CELSIUS), MODERATE DIFFLUENCE ALOFT, AND EXCELLENT
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT)
CELL OVER THE LUZON STRAIGHT AND AN INVERTED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO
THE NORTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM ARE CURRENTLY INHIBITING POLEWARD
OUTFLOW. TS 05W IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL EAST OF HONG KONG
BETWEEN TAU 24 AND TAU 36, THEN RAPIDLY WEAKEN OVER LAND. REMNANTS
OF THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST, AHEAD OF A TRANSITORY MID-
LATITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL FORECAST TRACK. WBAR AND GFDN REMAIN THE
WESTERN OUTLIERS, TRACKING THE SYSTEM MORE TOWARD HONG KONG, AND
JGSM AND GFS REMAIN THE EASTERN OUTLIERS DEPICTING A SHARPER RE-
CURVATURE. THIS FORECAST IS CLOSE TO MODEL CONSENSUS AND IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS JTWC FORECAST..
