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 it starts to recurve towards the NE - in the direction of Okinawa-Ryukyus Area & Southern Japan. This system will continue to intensify before it leaves the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and will reach its peak strength (Category 2) by Thursday morning. [8AM OCT 27: 21.6N 128.5E @ 150kph...8PM OCT 27: 22.8N 128.6E @ 160kph...8AM OCT 28: 24.0N 128.79 @ 165kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 130 km/hr (70 knots) with higher gusts. CHABA is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Continued strengthening is expected later today until Thursday. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 30 kilometers (15 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 165 kilometers (90 nautical miles). CHABA is an average to large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 665 kilometers (360 nautical miles). 
FRIDAY MORNING: Starts to weaken...passing to the east of Okinawa-Ryukyu Islands...about 260 km East of Naha, Okinawa [8AM OCT 29: 26.9N 130.6E @ 160kph]. SATURDAY MORNING: Begins Extratropical transition...accelerating rapidly NE-ward...approaching the southern coastline of Honshu in Japan...about 270 km SSE of Kochi, Japan [8AM OCT 30: 31.3N 134.8E @ 120kph]. SUNDAY MORNING: Becomes Extratropical upon crossing the SE portion of Honshu, near Tokyo Bay...about 120 km East of Tokyo, Japan [8AM OCT 31: 35.8N 141.0E @ 85kph].
*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 typhoon's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: DEVELOPING EYE - remains at sea (North Philippine Sea)...not affecting land areas. Calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) can be expected inside this area (click here to know more about the EYE). EYEWALL - remains at sea (North Philippine Sea)...not affecting land areas. Typhoon Conditions with typhoon force winds (>118 kph) can be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall). INNER SPIRAL RAINBANDS - remains at sea (Philippine Sea)...not affecting land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (65-117 kph) can be expected within these bands. OUTER SPIRAL RAINBANDS - remains at sea (Philippine Sea)...not affecting land areas. Moderate to strong winds (<65 kph) can be expected within these bands. (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 outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 480 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!
