ANALYSIS & FORECAST OUTLOOK (up to 2 days)*

MALAKAS' has regained Typhoon status as it starts to accelerate northward. The system is expected to gradually intensify while turning NNE-ward...and will accelerate faster within the next 2 days. The core (eye and eyewall) of this system will pass over Iwo To and Chichijima Islands this morning until the afternoon [2PM SEP 24: 26.2N 141.7E @ 160kph...2AM SEP 25: 31.0N 143.5E @ 165kph]. MALAKAS will become Extratropical by early Sunday morning as it moves quickly NE-ward across the NW Pacific, just south of Kuril Islands [2AM SEP 26: 40.7N 151.4E @ 130kph].

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have gradually increased to near 140 km/hr (75 knots) with higher gusts...continued strengthening is likely today. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 45 kilometers (25 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 285 kilometers (155 nautical miles). MALAKAS is a large-sized tropical cyclone with diameter of 835 kilometers (450 nautical miles) across.

EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (3 days)*

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Extended Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km on Day 3...450 km on Day 4...and 650 km on Day 5, while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.

EFFECTS & HAZARDS

MALAKAS' northern inner bands spreading across Iwo To and Chichijima Islands...core expected to pass over these islands today. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds are continuing across Iwo To...becoming Typhoon Conditions w/ Typhoon Force Winds just before noon today. Chichijima, on the other hand, will also experience Tropical Storm Conditions before noon today...becoming Typhoon Conditions this afternoon (click here to view the latest NOAA-CIRA's Wind Analysis). 24-hr total rainfall amounts of 5 up to 110 mm (light to moderate rain) can be expected along its outer and inner bands...with isolated amounts of up to 220 mm (heavy) near the center of MALAKAS (Click here to view the latest NOAA's eTRaP graphic on the storm's rainfall amount).

CURRENT MONSOON TROUGH (ITCZ) INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers, rains & thunderstorms especially in the afrernoon or evening can be expected along these following affected areas: CENTRAL & SOUTHERN LUZON, METRO MANILA, BICOL REGION, & VISAYAS.

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) FRI 24 SEPTEMBER POSITION: 22.8N 140.9E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 13W (MALAKAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 120 NM
SOUTH OF IWO TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 10 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
231616Z AMSRE MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW A BANDING EYE. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON THE PGTW AND RJTD FIX AS WELL AS AN ITOP VORTEX
MESSAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE VORTEX MESSAGE, ITOP
DROPSONDE INTENSITY ESTIMATES, AND DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND
RJTD. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES DECREASED SUBSIDENCE ALONG THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC), WHICH
HAS ALLOWED TY 13W TO INTENSIFY BY 10 KNOTS WITHIN THE PAST SIX
HOURS. POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO A MID-LATITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO
THE NORTHWEST HAS IMPROVED AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW REMAINS GOOD. TY
13W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
A SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE AND INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS
POLEWARD OUTFLOW INCREASES INTO THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH.
BY TAU 24, TY 13W WILL BEGIN TO ROUND THE RIDGE AXIS AND BEGIN TO
INTERACT WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES. BY TAU 48, TY MALAKAS
SHOULD BECOME ABSORBED BY THE STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE TO THE NORTH.
WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT OF THE MID-LATITUDE TROUGH, TY 13W IS
EXPECTED TO TRANSITION INTO AN INTENSE EXTRATROPICAL LOW. NUMERICAL
MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, THIS FORECAST IS IN
AGREEMENT WITH MODEL CONSENSUS..
