MEGI will quickly dissipate along the rugged terrain of Fujian Province tonight and will be just an area of low pressure decaying while moving northward across Mainland China tomorrow afternoon [2AM OCT 24: 25.2N 117.6E @ 55kph...2PM OCT 24: 26.2N 117.8E @ 35kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have decreased to near 85 km/hr (45 knots) with higher gusts. Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-85 km/hr) extend outward up to 140 kilometers (75 nautical miles) from the center. MEGI is a shrinking average-sized tropical cyclone, measuring about 445 kilometers (240 nautical miles) across.
*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 SUMMARY
MEGI's convective rainclouds are continuously decaying. Below are the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: 
CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - Off Southern Fujian...about 25 km SW of Xiamen City. INNER RAINBANDS - continuing to affect most parts of Southern Fujian and portions of Eastern Guangdong. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (65-85 kph) can be expected along these areas tonight. OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting the Chinese provinces of Eastern Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi. Moderate to strong winds (<65 kph) with passing on-and-off showers, squalls or thunderstorms can be expected along these areas today. 24-HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 40 mm (light rain) can be expected along the outer and inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 60 mm (moderate) near the center of MEGI [view current NOAA's eTRaP graphic]. COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Fujian Province in China today. Very minimal damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from large swells and Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the rest of the beach-front areas of Southern & Southeastern China and Taiwan today.
Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, extended forecast, effects-hazards, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!

*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 15W (MEGI), HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 08
KTS AND MADE LANDFALL NEAR XIAMEN, CHINA. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM
HAS DISSIPATED. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON RADAR ANIMATION FROM
TAIPEI, TAIWAN. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON A DVORAK ESTIMATE
OF 55 KNOTS FROM RJTD. TS MEGI IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY WEAKEN AS IT
DRAGS NORTH OVER SOUTHEAST CHINA'S RUGGED TERRAIN THEN DISSIPATE AS A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND BY TAU 24. THIS IS THE FINAL
WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER
