5-10 KNOT WINDS ARE PRESENT NEAR THE OBSERVABLE MID-LEVEL ROTATION,
WITH HIGHER (20-25 KTS) WINDS DISPLACED AWAY FROM THE CENTER.
ELEVATED WINDS FUNNELING WEST OF HAINAN CAN BE OBSERVED IN THE
ASCAT-C IMAGE AS WELL, NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WIND FIELD OF 22W.
22W IS FORECAST TO MEANDER EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS IT
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN DUE TO HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IN THE AREA.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN POOR AGREEMENT ON THE TRACK DUE TO
THE WEAK VORTEX SIGNATURE, HOWEVER MODELS AGREE THAT 22W WILL
DISSIPATE WITH LITTLE TO NO CHANCE FOR REGENERATION. THIS IS THE
FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL
HARBOR HI. THE SYSTEM WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF
REGENERATION. MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 281800Z IS 1002 MB.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 281800Z IS 8 FEET. REFER TO
TYPHOON 23W (KONG-REY) WARNINGS (WTPN32 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY
