Tropical Cyclone 32W (Fung-wong) 

According to the JTWC warning number 10…sustained winds are 40 knots with gusts to 50 knots

Animated multi-spectral satellite imagery (msi) depicts tropical
storm 32W (Fung-wong) with a very broad circulation and expansive convective banding along all quadrants of the system. Deep convection has continued to fail to build over the center, and is likely the cause of the rather gradual development in intensity over the past 24 hours. A partial 060431z amsr2 89 ghz microwave image revealed an ill-defined center with fragmented convective banding in both the northern and southern semicircles.

Environmental analysis indicates that 32W is in a favorable environment characterized by strong radial outflow aloft, low (5-10 kts) vertical wind shear, and warm (29-30 c) sea surface temperatures.

32W is forecast to track west-northwestward along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge to the far northeast through 36 hours. Near 36 hours, track speeds are
expected to increase as a separate subtropical ridge forms to the immediate northeast of the system, tightening the steering gradient.

A west-northwestward track is forecast to continue through 72 hours as 32W approaches the eastern coast of Luzon. Landfall is forecast to occur near 84 hours, south of Casiguran, within the Aurora Province. 32W will then track across Luzon and emerge within the South China Sea 96. The system will then take a northward turn toward Taiwan as it rounds the western extent of the subtropical ridge.

In terms of intensity, 32W is forecast to rapidly intensify through 48 hours to around 100 kts. The large circulation is expected to quickly consolidate and form deep convection over the low-level circulation center. Northeasterly vertical wind shear is expected to increase after 48 hours to around 20 kts, causing the rapid intensification trend to slow. However, intensification through landfall is still likely. Currently, an intensity of 115 kts is forecast for the time of landfall. 32W will then rapidly weaken due to terrain interaction as it crosses Luzon.
