Latest satellite image shows Tropical Storm Chan-Hom continues to weaken as it rapidly tracks to the northeast. The low-level circulation center is now fully exposed and any convection along the southwestern quadrant has disappeared. Nevertheless, Chan-Hom is still bringing gusty winds of up to 80kph along the western coast of South Korea.

Aside from the winds, rainfall accumulations of up to 200mm were still being reported up and down the peninsula. Latest radar image above shows much of the rains are now over North Korea. We expect rains to linger through tomorrow before slowly dissipating and/or moving eastward.

We'll have another update tomorrow morning.
