Tropical Cyclone 32W (Fung-wong) 

According to the JTWC warning number 36…sustained winds are 35 knots with gusts to 45 knots

Animated enhanced infrared (eir) satellite imagery depicts tropical storm 32W (Fung-wong) with a slightly ragged low-level circulation center (llcc) that was analyzed to be just off the coast at 121200z. As of 121400z, the llcc appears to have quickly jumped across the southern portion of Taiwan and emerged back over water. The system remains completely devoid of convection besides a small area within the northwestern periphery.

Environmental analysis indicates that 32W is in an unfavorable environment characterized by moderate poleward outflow, high (20-25 kts) southwesterly vertical wind shear, significant dry air entrainment, and warm (27-28 c) sea surface temperatures.

TS 32W is forecast to continue rounding the western extent of the subtropical ridge through 24 hours with an east-northeastward track. Track speeds are forecast to considerably increase over the next 24 hours as the system begins to interact with the upper-level jet. 32W is expected to begin wrapping in the northeasterly surge winds again, allowing the system to maintain intensity through 24 hours.

32W is then expected to quickly stretch and become ill-defined as it becomes absorbed into the forming frontal boundary. this merge with the frontal boundary is forecast to complete around 36 hours, marking the point where 32W is stated to be dissipated as a significant tropical cyclone. A final intensity of 30 kts is representative of the background winds associated with the northeasterly surge as the vortex of 32W completely washes out.
