In-Fa (Philippine name Fabian) is located 76 km south-southwest of Shanghai, China, and has moved west-northwestward at 7 km/h (4 knots) over the past 6 hours.
In-Fa will continue west-northwestward into the Chinese interior then recurve northeastward after 2 days as it rounds the western edge of the subtropical ridge.
Land interaction will mostly be responsible for its gradual decay down to 45 km/h (25 knots) in 5 days as it reaches the tip of shandong peninsula and poised to make an exit into the gulf of pohai.
There is, however, a possibility that the system will dissipate over land. Forecast guidance are in fairly good agreement up to 72. Afterward, the models widely spread along and across-track, lending medium confidence in the JTWC track forecast up to 3 days then low confidence afterward.
There is low confidence in the intensity forecasts due to the uncertainty in the topographical effects.
Maximum significant wave height is 0 meters (0 feet).
