Ditto the descending pass -- very impressive; the winds are uniformly making it down to the surface.

JTWC warning #32 has increased the sustained windspeed at landfall from 80kts to 85kts, and moved the landfall point east, it appears about 50nm. Current winds at 105 kts (I must have read the quikscat wrong). The text notes: "A 161035Z AMSU/B IMAGE REVEALS A SMALL, COMPACT EYE SURROUNDED BY A WEAKENING OUTER EYEWALL."

And the prog notes:

ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN CONVECTION IN THE NORTHERN QUARDRANTS OF TY 02W OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. DESPITE FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, STABLE AIR FUNNELED THROUGH THE TAIWAN STRAIT HAS ALREADY STARTED TO WEAKEN TY 02W.
