TROPICAL DEPRESSION 27W (USAGI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 181 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF TAIPEI, TAIWAN, HAS TRACKED SOUTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS A DISORGANIZED ROTATION SLOW SPINNING JUST OFFSHORE OF SOUTHWESTERN TAIWAN. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM HENGCHUN SHOW SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS OF 10 KNOTS, WHICH HAVE STEADILY VEERED FROM THE SOUTH, INDICATING THE CENTER OF TD 27W LIES JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE STATION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS ASSESSED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE SURFACE OBS AND MSI. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE OVERALL DEGRADED STRUCTURE AND SURFACE OBS. THE SYSTEM IS DRIFTING TO THE EAST BASED ON THE ANIMATED RADAR AND MSI DATA, AND IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE NARROW SOUTHERN TIP OF TAIWAN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN MOVE OFF THE EASTERN COAST OF THE ISLAND. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS, BUT THE REMNANT VORTEX WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK UP THE EAST COAST OF TAIWAN THROUGH AND LIKELY AFTER TAU 24. 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 160600Z IS 1006 MB. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 160600Z IS 10 FEET. REFER TO SUPER TYPHOON 25W (MAN-YI) WARNINGS (WTPN32 PGTW) FOR SIX-HOURLY UPDATES.// NNNN
