2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

TALAS (15W) is expected to move towards the NW during the next 24 hours & intensify slightly. A turn back to the north is forecast during the next 48 hours. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system.

WEDNESDAY MORNING:  Intensifying while turning NW'ly...about 292 km WNW of Bonin Island [11AM AUG 31: 27.3N 138.2E @ 130kph].
THURSDAY MORNING:  Returns to its usual Northward track across the open sea...no change in strength...about 742 km SSW of Tokyo [8AM SEP 01: 29.2N 137.9E @ 130kph].

Maximum Sustained Winds (10-min. avg) are near 120 km/hr (65 knots) with higher gusts. TALAS is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. It is likely to intensify slightly within the day. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 35 kilometers (20 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-110 km/hr) extend outward up to 305 kilometers (165 nautical miles). TALAS remains a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 1,205 kilometers (650 nautical miles).

*Please be reminded that the 2-Day Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and 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

TALAS' (15W) circulation continues to improved with the eyewall wrapping closer to the large center. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

LARGE EYE - over water (Western Pacific)...not affecting any land areas. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) will be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE).
DEVELOPING EYEWALL - affecting & moving into Bonin Island. Typhoon Conditions with Typhoon Force Winds (>118 kph) will be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall).
INNER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Chichi Jima & Iwo To (formerly Iwo Jima). Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (Western Pacific)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will 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 areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of 110 to 200 mm (high) along areas near the center of TALAS (15W). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
