The subtropical ridge is set to retreat as a mid-latitude trough interacts with it. FUNG-WONG will then accelerate towards the NE turning to ENE, approaching southern Korea.

FUNG-WONG's convections appear loose, although the centre is still well-defined. The storm is expected to weaken due to a combination of land interaction, higher shear and lower sea temperatures. Extratropical transition is likely by t+48.
FUNG-WONG skirted
eastern Taiwan yesterday, and is now heading towards eastern China. At 8
am, FUNG-WONG was centred about 160 km (85 NM) SE of Wenzhou.

is the 60th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed
by Hong Kong, and is the name of a peak there. This name was used in
2002 and 2008.
FUNG-WONG
is expected to move N in the next 24 hours along the western periphery
of the subtropical ridge. A mid-latitude trough will erode the ridge
again near t+24; the ridge should then retreat rapidly and FUNG-WONG
will be able to turn NE, moving towards southern South Korea.
As FUNG-WONG is close to landmass, it is not expected
to strengthen. A weakening trend is projected as it enters higher
latitude due to lower sea temperatures.
由於鳳凰靠近陸地，預料它將不會增強。隨後鳳凰將進入較低海溫的高緯度地區，這將令風暴持續減弱。

FUNG-WONG is the 60th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Hong Kong, and is the name of a peak there. This name was used in 2002 and 2008.
FUNG-WONG is expected to move N or NNE across Taiwan. The subtropical ridge is expected to strengthen slightly, causing FUNG-WONG to turn N or NNW and tracking the storm into eastern China. Another mid-latitude trough will erode the ridge again near t+48; the ridge should then retreat rapidly and FUNG-WONG will be able to turn NE, moving towards southern South Korea.
FUNG-WONG should weaken as it crosses Taiwan. If the storm makes landfall at eastern China as currently predicted, it will weaken further on land. The latitude from which FUNG-WONG emerges into East China Sea will be too north for re-intensification as sea temperatures are unfavourable.
FUNG-WONG came to a stop as it entered South China Sea last night, and is now moving N. At 8 am, FUNG-WONG was centred about 400 km (220 NM) S of Kaohsiung.
FUNG-WONG is the 60th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Hong Kong, and is the name of a peak there. This name was used in 2002 and 2008.
The subtropical ridge has weakened and FUNG-WONG is expected to move N or NNE through the weakness into Taiwan. Some models predict a re-strengthening of the ridge which would see FUNG-WONG turning poleward or even NNW again, tracking the storm into eastern China. A second mid-latitude trough will erode the ridge further at later taus, and the storm is expected to turn NE eventually towards Japan.
FUNG-WONG is strengthening as it crosses the warm Luzon Strait. However, it is expected to cross Taiwan and weaken substantially. The East China Sea should still be favourable for intensification, but if the storm is moving close to the shoreline or even inland, it will not be able to intensify as much. Lower sea temperatures will cause the storm to weaken as it approaches Japan.

FUNG-WONG is
currently moving NW along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. A passing trough is expected to induce a weakness in the ridge by t+24, leading to a deceleration and poleward turn. The storm will then move NNE along the northwestern periphery of the eastern ridge, and should gradually turn eastward as it reaches the westerlies.
FUNG-WONG is about to make landfall at Luzon. Its intensity should be relatively stable as it passes Luzon Strait, with a chance of intensifying before making landfall at Taiwan. Subsequent development depends very much on where FUNG-WONG recurves as it determines the amount of land interaction the storm will face. Some intensification is likely as the storm moves across East China Sea due to decent sea temperatures and outflow channels. As sea temperatures drop, FUNG-WONG should start to weaken as it approches Japan.
Subsidence associated with FUNG-WONG is causing very hot weather and haze in Hong Kong today. Such effects will diminish soon due to the arrival of a weak northeast monsoon in the weekend.
Tropical depression 16W formed last night. It later strengthened into a tropical storm, and was named FUNG-WONG. At 8 am, FUNG-WONG was centred about 810 km (440 NM) E of Manila.

FUNG-WONG is
currently moving NW along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. A passing trough is expected to induce a weakness in the ridge by t+48, leading to a deceleration and poleward turn. The storm will then move NE/NNE along the northwestern periphery of the eastern ridge; as the westerlies are at a higher latitude, rapid acceleration is not expected within the forecast period.
FUNG-WONG's convections are seen wrapping around the centre. With decent sea temperatures and low shear, FUNG-WONG will intensify gradually. It should continue to intensify (initially) after recurvature as outflow conditions and sea temperatures remain favourable.
