SOUTHEAST OF HONG KONG, CHINA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 11 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A FULLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH
CONVECTION SHEARED TO THE SOUTH. A 092218Z 91 GHZ SSMIS MICROWAVE
IMAGE SHOWS LOW LEVEL BANDING WRAPPING INTO AN EXPOSED LLCC WITH A
MAJORITY OF THE CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE

THE EXPOSED LLCC. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN
DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD RANGING FROM 25 TO 30
KNOTS BASED ON THE OVERALL BANDING STRUCTURE IN RECENT MICROWAVE
IMAGERY. WHILE EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW HAS REMAINED EXTREMELY FAVORABLE,
POLEWARD OUTFLOW CONTINUES TO BE INHIBITED BY 20 KNOTS OF NORTHERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT)
