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 CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy skies with occasional rains, squalls or thunderstorms will continue to prevail across the following affected areas: THE MARIANAS. Light to moderate SW'ly winds (not in excess of 50 kph) will blow across the abovementioned areas.
TALAS' (15W) circulation continues to improve with convective cloudiness on all quadrants except the northwestern part. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: INNER RAINBANDS - over water (Western Pacific)...not affecting any islands or land areas . Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the Marianas & Iwo To. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) FRI 26 AUGUST POSITION: 20.8N 139.4E.
*TROPICAL STORM 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 260 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF IWO TO, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
(MSI) SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING BEGINNING TO WRAP AROUND THE
NORTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A
251215Z ASCAT PASS DEPICTS 35- TO 40-KNOT WINDS ALONG THE OUTER
SOUTHERN, EASTERN TO NORTHERN PERIPHERIES WITH LOWER 10- TO 15-KNOT
CENTRAL WINDS, INDICATIVE OF A MONSOON DEPRESSION. THE INITIAL
POSITION WAS BASED ON THE BROAD LLCC IN THE MSI IMAGERY AND A
252308Z SSMIS 37GHZ WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY WAS
BASED ON PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO 45
KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC
TROUGH (TUTT) IS PREVENTING OUTFLOW ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY, BUT THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS EXCELLENT EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW.
ADDITIONALLY, A TUTT CELL TO THE NORTHWEST IS BEGINNING TO PROVIDE A
POLEWARD OUTFLOW...(more info)
