MEGI will quickly dissipate along the rugged terrain of Fujian Province later today and will be just an area of low pressure decaying while moving northward across SE China tomorrow [8AM OCT 24: 25.8N 118.2E @ 65kph...8PM OCT 24: 27.2N 118.6E @ 35kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have decreased to near 120 km/hr (65 knots) with higher gusts. MEGI is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale...and will be downgraded into a Tropical Storm in just a few hours. 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 205 kilometers (110 nautical miles). MEGI is a shrinking average-sized tropical cyclone, measuring about 555 kilometers (300 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 circulation continues to breakdown and shrink. Its eye has already filled-in due to the effects of land interaction. Below are the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: 
FILLED-IN EYE - Onshore, off Southern Fujian...about 55 km SW of Xiamen City. EYEWALL - now affecting Southern Fujian...the northern eyewall moving in the vicinity of Xiamen City...while the Western and Southern Eyewall are passing along the area north of Shantou City. Typhoon Conditions with typhoon force winds (>118 kph) can be expected at this moment along these areas. INNER RAINBANDS - continuing to affect most parts of Southern Fujian and portions of Eastern Guangdong. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (65-117 kph) can be expected along these areas today. OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting Western Taiwan and 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. 18-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 75 mm (moderate) near the center of MEGI [view current NOAA's eTRaP graphic]. COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Western Taiwan...and in Eastern Guangdong and Fujian Provinces in China today. 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!

*TYPHOON 15W (MEGI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 230 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF HONG KONG, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 06 KNOTS DURING THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL IMAGERY INDICATES THE
EYEWALL HAS COLLAPSED AND CORE CONVECTION HAS DECREASED MARKEDLY,
ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STORM. INFRARED
ANIMATION SHOWS MARKED WARMING OF THE CLOUD TOPS OVER THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER, YET WATER VAPOR ANIMATION VERIFIES THAT BOTH
POLEWARD AND EQUATORIAL OUTFLOW CHANNELS REMAIN WELL-DEVELOPED.
RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY FROM A 222116Z SSMI/S PASS ALSO VERIFIES
THAT THE MICROWAVE EYE HAS MAINTAINED INTEGRITY, BUT THE 91 GHZ
IMAGE INDICATES THAT THE UPPER LEVELS ARE BEGINNING TO TILT AWAY
FROM THE LLCC. THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN A REGION OF FAVORABLE SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT VERTICAL WINDSHEAR, BUT AT THE
BOUNDARY LEVELS IT IS BEGINNING TO INGEST MODIFIED CONTINENTAL
POLAR (CP) AIR FLOWING OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF CHINA. SURFACE
RADAR IMAGERY FROM TAIWAN INDICATES THE STORM IS MAINTAINING A
NORTHERLY TRACK TOWARD THE CHAOZHOU PROVINCE. POSITION IS BASED
PRIMARILY ON MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY, WITH HELP FROM WEATHER RADAR
IMAGERY FROM TAIWAN. INTENSITY ANALYSIS IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF
A DVORAK INTENSITY RATING OF 3.5 FROM PGTW AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
FROM COASTAL CHINA....(more)
