FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 2 days)* EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (3 to 5 days)*
MA-ON (08W) is expected to turn WNW-ward and steadily intensify for the next 2 days. It shall become a Super Typhoon (Category 4) by Saturday (July 16). Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system. 
TOMORROW EARLY MORNING (FRI): Upgraded to Category 3 while passing to the NW of the Northernmost Marianas...about 270 km NW of Agrihan Island, CNMI [2AM JUL 15: 20.5N 143.9E @ 185kph].

*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 TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCH CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Mostly cloudy with occasional rains, squalls, showers or thunderstorms will be expected along the following affected areas: WESTERN SECTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL LUZON Light to moderate SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow.
MA-ON's (08W) powerful circulation continues to exhibit a ragged & cloud-filled eye w/ strong eyewall convection. The southern inner & outer rainbands continues to spread across the northernmost Mariana Islands. Below are the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: RAGGED/CLOUD-FILLED EYE - remains over water (Western 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 - affecting & spreading across Agrihan Island (Northernmost Marianas). Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) can be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Pagan & Alamagan Islands (Northernmost Marianas). 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 100 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 200 mm (high) near the center of MA-ON (08W).

Tropical Disturbance 92W (LPA/1006 MB) strengthening over the Philippine Sea, as it is being pushed slowly SW-ward by the mighty Typhoon MA-ON located to its NE. This LPA is likely to become a Tropical Depression within the next 06-24 hours. Its possible center was located near lat 13.6N lon 132.0E...about 820 km East of Bicol Region, PH...with 1-min maximum sustained winds of 35 kph near the center. The 24-Hr. Tropical Cyclone Formation Potential on this system is now @ 80% [High]. View the latest satellite flash loop on this disturbance.
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!
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) THU 14 JULY POSITION: 20.1N 146.2E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 08W, MA-ON, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 385 NM SOUTHEAST
OF IWO TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX
HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 140328Z AMSRE
MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT A RAGGED EYE WITH SPIRAL BANDING WRAPPING
INTO THE LLCC FROM ALL QUADRANTS. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE
CURRENT POSITION BASED ON THE 14/0532Z PGTW FIX AND THE
AFOREMENTIONED AMSRE IMAGE SHOWING A WELL-DEFINED MICROWAVE EYE. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES OF
90 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT TY 08W IS LOCATED
BENEATH A MESOSCALE ANTICYCLONE IN A REGION OF STRONG DIFFLUENCE
ALOFT AND LOW (<15 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY REVEALS THAT THE MESOSCALE ANTICYCLONE IS PROVIDING THE
SYSTEM WITH EXCELLENT RADIAL OUTFLOW, WHICH IS BEING ENHANCED BY
TROPICAL UPPER-TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH (TUTT) CELLS LOCATED TO THE EAST-
SOUTHEAST AND WEST-NORTHWEST OF THE SYSTEM. TY 08W IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE ANCHORED EAST OF JAPAN. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
TRACKING GENERALLY WESTWARD THROUGH TAU 48 AND INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS
IT TRACKS OVER FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (>30 DEGREES
CELSIUS) AND REMAINS WITHIN A FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT.
AFTER TAU 48, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BEING TRACKING INCREASINGLY
POLEWARD AS IT MODIFIES THE STEERING RIDGE, WHICH WILL BEGIN TO
RECEDE TO THE EAST. ALTHOUGH, WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS
THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO TRACK POLEWARD, TY 08W IS NOT EXPECTED TO
WEAKEN SIGNIFICANTLY AS IT APPROACHES SOUTHERN KYUSHU. NUMERICAL
MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK FORECAST THROUGH
TAU 48, BEFORE NOTABLE DIVERGENCE OCCURS. NOGAPS, GFS, AND ECMWF ARE
INDICATING A SHARPER RE-CURVATURE IN RESPONSE TO AN EARLIER
WEAKENING AND RECEDING OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. GFDN IS ALSO
DEPICTING A SHARP RE-CURVATURE, BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER TAU 96. EGRR
REMAINS THE WESTERN OUTLIER AND CONTINUES TO TRACK THE SYSTEM
RAPIDLY WESTWARD THROUGH TAU 72 IN ANTICIPATION OF DIRECT CYCLONE
INTERACTION (DCI) WITH A DEVELOPING DISTURBANCE IN THE EAST
PHILIPPINE SEA, BEFORE SHARPLY TURNING THE SYSTEM POLEWARD. THIS
FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRACK, FAVORING A
TRACK SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF CONSENSUS THROUGH TAU 96 IN FAVOR OF A MORE
SOLID STR AND MARGINAL DCI. DUE TO THE WIDE SPREAD IN NUMERICAL
MODEL GUIDANCE IN THE LATER TAUS, THE FORECAST AT TAU 120 IS SLIGHT
LEFT OF CONSENSUS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS JTWC FORECASTS
UNTIL MODEL GUIDANCE COMES INTO BETTER AGREEMENT...(more info)
