Latest satellite image shows Fung-Wong becoming more elongated as it interacts with increasing upper-level winds. The core, however, remains intact and strong but is starting to show signs of weakening. Fung-Wong is forecast to become an extra-tropical transition as it moves across the Yellow Sea by tomorrow.

Latest radar image from China shows light to moderate rains affecting Shanghai. So far,, there have been 50 to 100mm of rainfall over the past 24 hours. We're not expecting any significant amounts in the region but rains will continue for another 12 hours or so. Winds of up to 80kph have also been recorded in and around Shanghai. Breezy conditions will continue but should subside by tonight.

Tropical Storm Fung-Wong should start turning eastward and will start exta-tropical transition today. It will move near Jeju Island by tonight and eventually affect South Korea and parts of Japan beginning tomorrow. It should complete extra-tropical transition and become a mid-latitude cyclone by tomorrow.
We'll have another update later tonight.
