FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 48 hours)* EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (3 to 5 days)*
CHABA is expected to continue tracking NNW within the next 24 hours before turning sharply to the North in the direction of Okinawa-Ryukyus Area. This system will continue to intensify and will reach its peak strength (Category 2) by tomorrow afternoon...before it starts to weaken. [2AM OCT 27: 21.2N 128.6E @ 165kph...2PM OCT 27: 22.2N 128.5E @ 175kph...2AM OCT 28: 23.3N 128.7E @ 165kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 120 km/hr (65 knots) with higher gusts. CHABA is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Continued strengthening is expected later today until tomorrow. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 10 kilometers (5 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 160 kilometers (85 nautical miles). CHABA is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 630 kilometers (340 nautical miles). 
FRIDAY EARLY MORNING: Exits the Philippine Area of (Forecasting) Responsibility (PAR)...passing just to the east of Okinawa Island or close to the tiny islands of the Ryukyus...about 210 km SE of Naha, Okinawa [2AM OCT 29: 25.5N 129.8E @ 160kph]. SATURDAY EARLY MORNING: Begins Extratropical transition...accelerating NE-ward, away from Ryukyus...and approaching the southern coastlines of Shikoku and Honshu in Japan...about 455 km SSW of Kochi, Japan [2AM OCT 30: 29.5N 132.4E @ 140kph]. SUNDAY EARLY MORNING: Becomes Extratropical while along the coast of Honshu...about 205 km SW of Tokyo, Japan [2AM OCT 31: 34.1N 138.6E @ 95kph].
*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
CHABA maintains a radial circulation with deep raincloud convection near its center and southern periphery. Below are the summary of the cyclone's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST (CDO) - currently over the North Philippine Sea...with a possible eye and eyewall developing underneath the CDO. Typhoon Conditions with typhoon force winds (>118 kph) can be expected along the forming eyewall. (click here to know more about CDO). DEVELOPING RAINBANDS - continues to improve on all sides, except the Northern and NW portions. Soon, these rainbands will be divided into two parts (the inner and the outer). Moderate to Tropical Storm Force Winds (<117 kph) can be expected along these bands today (click here to know more about Rainbands). 24-HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (light, moderate to heavy rain) can be expected along the developing rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 400 mm (heavy) near the center of CHABA [click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic]. COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - None (click here to know more about Storm Surge).
CURRENT ITCZ/MONSOON TROUGH INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies with isolated to scattered afternoon or evening showers, rains & thunderstorms can be expected along these following affected areas: BICOL REGION, CENTRAL LUZON, METRO MANILA, SOUTHERN LUZON, VISAYAS, & MINDANAO. Light to moderate SW, South, SE winds (not in excess of 30 kph) can be expected today. The prevailing strong La Niña conditions over the Pacific Ocean enhances the ITCZ to be more active across the Philippines.
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!

*TYPHOON 16W (CHABA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 455 NM SOUTH-SOUTHEAST
OF KADENA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWEST AT 08 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CONVECTION
IS CONSOLIDATING OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER AND
INTENSIFYING THEREFORE SYSTEM WAS UPGRADED TO TYPHOON STRENGTH. POLAR
OUTFLOW IS IMPROVING WHILE GOOD EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW PERSISTS. THE
INTENSITY ESTIMATE IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 65 KNOTS FROM
PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD. TYPHOON CHABA IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AS A
MID-LATITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY MOVING OVER THE SEA OF JAPAN PROVIDES
FURTHER ENHANCEMENT TO THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. TYPHOON CHABA IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK SLOWLY POLEWARD ALONG THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING
RIDGE THROUGH TAU 72 AND SHOULD ENTER A ZONE OF RAPIDLY INCREASING
VERTICAL WINDSHEAR NEAR TAU 96. SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE
EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION BY TAU 120. MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR
AGREEMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WESTWARD-TRACKING (AND ERRONEOUS)
GFDN GUIDANCE...(more)
