REMARKS:
202100Z POSITION NEAR 32.6N 135.5E.
TYPHOON (TY) 18W (ROKE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 330 NM SOUTHWEST OF
YOKOSUKA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AT 16 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CLEAR
INDICATIONS THAT TY 18W HAS BEGUN TO DECLINE IN INTENSITY. CLOUD
TOPS ARE WARMING AND A RAGGED 10 NM EYE STILL EXISTS, BUT IT IS
FILLING. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS PRONOUNCED STRETCHING IN
THE UPPER CLOUD SHIELD, INDICATING THE STORM IS MOVING INTO AN AREA
OF INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. DESPITE THE BEGINNING OF A
WEAKENING TREND, A 201749Z TRMM IMAGE REVEALS A THICK, CONCENTRIC
EYE WALL AND ABUNDANT DEEP CONVECTION. ALTHOUGH THE STORM MAY HAVE
BEGUN THE DE-INTENSIFICATION PHASE, IT STILL HAS PLENTY OF STRENGTH
LEFT, AND GIVEN THE RAPID NORTHEAST TRAJECTORY OF TY 18W, IT WILL
MAKE LANDFALL AT WELL ABOVE TYPHOON INTENSITY. AT THE SAME TIME IT
ENCOUNTERS THE RUGGED TERRAIN OF SOUTH-CENTRAL HONSHU, TY 18W WILL
MOVE INTO A ZONE OF SHARPLY INCREASED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AS WELL
AS ENCOUNTERING THE WEAKENING EFFECTS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER DUE TO
INTERACTION WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. THOSE THREE FACTORS WILL
COMBINE TO EXERT A TREMENDOUS WEAKENING FORCE ON TY 18W, BUT ITS
RAPID MOVEMENT THROUGH THE SHIZUOKA PREFECTURE AND THEN THE KANTO
PLAIN WILL ALLOW THE STORM TO MAINTAIN ENOUGH STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
TO REGENERATE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT MOVES OFF-SHORE OF THE
TOHOKU REGION. AT THAT POINT, THE EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION PROCESS
WILL BE NEARLY COMPLETE AND TY 18W WILL HAVE TRANSITIONED INTO A
HIGH-GALE TO STORM FORCE MID-LATITUDE LOW. MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN
EXCELLENT AGREEMENT BUT IS NOT PROPERLY ACCOUNTING FOR THE STEERING
INFLUENCE THE JAPANESE ALPS WILL HAVE ON THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER. ADDITIONALLY, THERE EXISTS SOME WEST BIAS IN THE UPPER
LEVELS DUE TO A MODEL PROPENSITY TO STEER TOWARD THE UPPER LEVEL
HEIGHT FALLS. FOR THOSE REASONS, THE JTWC FORECAST STAYS JUST AHEAD
AND EAST OF CONSENSUS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 201800Z IS
26 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 210300Z, 210900Z, 211500Z AND 212100Z.//
