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 - spreading & affecting Southern & Western Japan (Kyushu-Shikoku-Western & Southern Honshu), & the small japanese islands of Okinawa, Ryukyu, Iwo To, Bonin, & Chichi Jima. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands). 06-12HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 50 mm (low to med rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 100 mm (medium-high) near the center of MA-ON (INENG).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) MON 18 JULY POSITION: 26.0N 133.4E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 08W (MA-ON), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 660 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF TOKYO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 09
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED INFRARED (IR) SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THAT TY 08W HAS WEAKENED OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS AS THE
SYSTEM STRUGGLES TO COMPLETE THE EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE (ERC).
HOWEVER, THE 18-20Z IR IMAGERY SHOWS SOME INITIAL STRENGTHENING OF
DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE, PERHAPS SIGNALING A
RE-INTENSIFICATION PHASE. REGARDLESS, THE CURRENT INTENSITY AS OF
18Z WAS ASSESSED AT 90 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 90 KNOTS
FROM PGTW, KNES AND RJTD. TY 08W CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT A WOBBLE BUT
NOW APPEARS TO BE HEADED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS IMPROVED RADIAL OUTFLOW WITH ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW
INTO THE WEAK WESTERLIES LOCATED JUST NORTH OF JAPAN. MA-ON
CONTINUES TO TRACK ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL
STEERING RIDGE AND IS EXPECTED TO TURN SHARPLY EASTWARD NEAR 32N
LATITUDE AS IT BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH RELATIVELY WEAK WESTERLY FLOW
NORTH OF THE RIDGE. THE 17/12Z 500 MB ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO INDICATE
A WEAKENING, RECEDING STEERING RIDGE AND HEIGHT FALLS ACROSS THE
REGION ASSOCIATED WITH BROAD TROUGHING AND INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW.
MODEL GUIDANCE INCLUDING ECMWF/JMA ENSEMBLE TRACKS REMAIN TIGHTLY
CLUSTERED SO THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK. BASED ON THE
RECENT WEAKENING, THE PEAK INTENSITY WAS DECREASED TO 110 KNOTS. TY
08W IS STILL EXPECTED TO RE-INTENSIFY DUE TO EXCELLENT OUTFLOW AND
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THE SYSTEM WILL COMPLETE EXTRA-
TROPICAL TRANSITION BY TAU 120, WELL EAST OF JAPAN...(more info)
>> MA-ON, meaning: Horse saddle (name of a peak). Name contributed by: Hong Kong, China.
