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 28-km irregular eye w/ strong eyewall convection on all quadrants. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: IRREGULAR EYE (28-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). 12-18HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 100 mm (low to med rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 130 mm (med-high) near the center of MA-ON (08W).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) SAT 16 JULY POSITION: 21.1N 138.7E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 08W (MA-ON), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 885 NM SOUTH
OF TOKYO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES
THAT EYEWALL CONVECTION CONTINUES TO CYCLE RAPIDLY WITH LARGE
FLUCTUATIONS IN OVERALL CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE. CURRENT IMAGERY
DEPICTS A 15 NM EYE SURROUNDED BY A NEAR-COMPLETE EYEWALL WITH A
BREAK (EVIDENT IN THE 152255Z SSMIS 91H IMAGE) OVER THE NORTHWEST
QUADRANT. TY 08W REMAINS UNDER MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS)
ASSOCIATED WITH THE TUTT AND CONVERGENT UPPER-LEVEL FLOW. THE
CURRENT POSITION IS BASED, WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE, ON THE VISIBLE EYE.
THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 105 KNOTS IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF
102 KNOTS FROM PGTW, KNES AND RJTD. TY 08W IS CURRENTLY INFLUENCING
THE TRACK AND INTENSITY OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 09W WITH
FUJIWARA CLEARLY INDICATED, HOWEVER, THIS INTERACTION IS LARGELY ONE-
WAY. THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT TD 09W IS AFFECTING THE TRACK OF
TY 08W BEYOND A SLIGHT DECREASE IN TRACK SPEED, AND ANY INTERACTION
WILL BE SHORT-LIVED BASED ON THE RAPIDLY DECAYING TD 09W. OVER THE
PAST 06 HOURS, TY 08W APPEARS TO BE TURNING MORE POLEWARD (290
DEGREES) BUT TRACK MOTION IS TROCHOIDAL...(more info)
