TOMORROW AFTERNOON (SAT): At near-Super Typhoon strength as it turns NW...approaching the NE corner of the PAR...about 1120 km SE of Okinawa, Japan [2PM JUL 16: 21.5N 137.4E @ 230kph]. SUNDAY EARLY MORNING: Maintains its near-Super Typhoon strength...getting ready to enter the PAR...about 900 km SE of Okinawa, Japan [2AM JUL 17: 22.6N 135.6E @ 230kph]. SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Well inside the NE corner of the PAR...about 715 km SE of Okinawa, Japan [2PM JUL 17: 23.9N 134.3E @ 230kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to near 215 km/hr (115 knots) with higher gusts. MA-ON (08W) is a Category 4 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. This system will continue to intensify through the next 24 to 48 hours. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 95 kilometers (50 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 305 kilometers (165 nautical miles). MA-ON remains a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 1,110 kilometers (600 nautical miles) across. MONDAY AFTERNOON: Weakens slightly as it turns sharply towards the NNW...exits the PAR [2PM JUL 18: 26.9N 132.5E @ 220kph].

EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY 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!
MA-ON's (08W) powerful circulation continues to display a 19-km cloud-filled eye w/ strong eyewall convection especially along the southern portion. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: CLOUD-FILLED EYE (19-KM) - remains over water (Northwestern Pacific)...not affecting any land areas. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) can be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE). EYEWALL - remains over water...not affecting any 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 RAINBANDS - remains over water...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) can be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - remains over water...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands). 24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 310 mm (high) near the center of MA-ON (08W).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) FRI 15 JULY POSITION: 20.6N 141.4E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 08W (MA-ON), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 250 NM SOUTH OF IWO
TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.
ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A CLOUD FILLED 10 NM
EYE WITH A MAJORITY OF THE DEEPEST CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY. A 150411Z AMSRE 37 GHZ MICROWAVE PASS DEPICTS A WELL-
DEFINED MICROWAVE EYE AND EYE-WALL, AND CONFIRMS A LACK OF DEEP
CONVECTIVE BANDING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF TY 08W. THERE IS
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED
IMAGE AND THE 15/0532Z PGTW EYE FIX. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED
ON DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 102 TO 125 KNOTS FROM PGTW AND
KNES. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO SHOW A WELL DEVELOPED MESO-
SCALE ANTICYCLONE POSITIONED OVER THE SYSTEM CAUSING ENHANCED
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT)
CELL TO THE NORTHWEST IS ENHANCING OUTFLOW ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY, WHILE UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY
IS CAUSING SUBSIDENCE AND SUPPRESSING OUTFLOW. TY 08W IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL
STEERING RIDGE AND IS EXPECTED TO TRACK GENERALLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
FOR THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS BEFORE ROUNDING THE RIDGE AXIS AND
TURNING POLEWARD. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY AS IT
CONTINUES TO TRACK OVER FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, HIGH
OCEAN HEAT CONTENT, AND WITHIN A LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS)
ENVIRONMENT. AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES SOUTHERN JAPAN IT SHOULD
WEAKEN ONLY SLIGHTLY DUE TO A MODERATE INCREASE IN VWS. TY MA-ON IS
EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE SOUTHERN COAST OF KYUSHU JUST
BEFORE TAU 120, AS IT RE-CURVES TO THE NORTHEAST AND BEGINS EXTRA-
TROPICAL TRANSITION. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT, WITH ECMWF AND UKMO NOW DEPICTING A SHARPER RE-CURVATURE
IN THE LATER TAUS, WHICH HAS TIGHTENED THE AIDS ENVELOPE. THERE
STILL REMAINS SOME DISPARTIY AS TO HOW FAR WESTWARD THE SYSTEM WILL
TRACK AND INTERACT WITH TD 09W BEFORE MAKING ITS EXPECTED POLEWARD
TURN. THIS FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS JTWC FORECAST
AND IS SLIGHTLY WEST OF MODEL CONSENSUS TO ACCOUNT FOR MODERATE
DIRECT CYCLONE INTERACTION WITH TD 09W...(more info)
