the NE with a more accelerating speed this afternoon.
This system shall weaken into a Tropical Storm later
tomorrow and becoming an Extratropical Cyclone by Mon-
day night or early Tuesday morning (Oct 18).
+ EFFECTS: SOULIK's large Eye is now passing to the
west of Bonin Island (which is under the Eastern Eye-
Wall). Typhoon conditions will prevail over the island
with the arrival of strong Southerly to SW'ly winds in
excess of 100 km/hr accompanied with very heavy rain-
fall that could last for 6 hours. Meanwhile, Iwo Jima
is now free from the storm's wrath as the area is now
under its Outer bands. Decreasing winds of not more
than 55 km/hr with light rainfall can be expected over
Iwo Jima this morning...with improving sunlit condi-
tions in the afternoon. Coastal Storm Surge flooding of
4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...along with large
and dangerous battering waves will continue to prevail
for the next 6 hours along Bonin & nearby islands.
+ TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH: Two Tropical Disturbances (LPAs)
are currently organizing to the west of Guam and over
Micronesia (along Pohnpei & Kosrae Islands). The first
disturbance (92W/1006 mb) was located about 1,495 km East
of Bicol Region (13.0N 138.0E)...while the second distur-
bance (93W/1006 mb) was located about 1,810 km SE of Guam
(6.0N 159.5E)...both systems have wind speeds of 30 km/hr.

^TY Soulik (21W) is currently tracking along the western
periphery of a north-south oriented subtropical ridge (str)
that extends to 30N. Upper level analysis reveals a strong
zonal subtropical jet stretching from central China across
southern honshu with strong westerlies beginning to impinge
on the northwestern quadrant of TY Soulik. TY Soulik has
increased its speed to the north under enhanced flow between
the str and an approaching midlatitude trough. TY Soulik
will rapidly accelerate northeastward after 12 hours as it
encounters strong westerlies south of Honshu. Within the
next 12 hours, the system will begin extratropical transi-
tion as it entrains cooler, drier air and encounters in-
creasing midlatitude westerlies. TY Soulik will complete
extratropical transition by 48 hours...(more info)
