Discussion:

Wutip’s satellite presentation has remarkably not degraded very much despite passing over rugged terrain. The tropical cyclone’s inner core structure remains relatively intact, with an eye feature intermittently apparent on both radar and satellite imagery. In addition, the central dense overcast feature has filled back in with modestly well defined banding features. Despite these improvements, there are no available observations of tropical storm force or higher winds, which suggests that this is the product of a robust mid-level circulation rather than anything at the surface. As a result, the intensity is lowered to 30 kts.

A frontal system is quickly approaching Wutip from the west. This front is expected to overtake Wutip’s circulation later today, which will result in the cyclone becoming post-tropical. Most of the available guidance suggests the circulation will decay into a trough and become absorbed by the front by Monday.
