TALAS (15W) is expected move toward the North during the next 12 to 24 hours, with a turn towards the NNE through 48 hours. On the forecast track, the center of the storm will make landfall in Southern Shikoku, Japan late tonight and then move across Western Honshu Saturday. TALAS will be along the central part of Japan Sea by Sunday. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system. 
SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Moving Northward...just along the NW Coast of Honshu as it continues to lose strength...about 189 km North of Okayama, Japan [5PM SEP 03: 36.4N 133.8E @ 95kph]. SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Over the Sea of Japan...accelerating NNE-ward...about 536 km NNW of Niigata, Japan [2PM SEP 04: 42.1N 135.9E @ 95kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (10-min. avg) have decreased to near 110 km/hr (60 knots) with higher gusts. TALAS is a Tropical Storm (TS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. TALAS will continue to lose strength after it reaches the coast of Southeastern Shikoku late tonight.
Near-Typhoon Force Winds (100 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 150 kilometers (80 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-110 km/hr) extend outward up to 335 kilometers (180 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 CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: WEAK >> Partly sunny to cloudy skies with a passing showers, rains or squalls w/ thunderstorms will be expected across the following affected areas: WESTERN LUZON including METRO MANILA. Moderate to strong SW'ly winds (not in excess of 40 kph) will blow across the abovementioned areas.
TALAS' (15W) large radial circulation remains intact with a very large center. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: LARGE EYE-LIKE CENTER - 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). INNER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Shikoku, Kyushu & Honshu. Tropical Storm to Near-Typhoon Conditions w/ Tropical Storm to Near-Typhoon Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across the whole of Japan & the Sea of Japan. 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 105 to 230 mm (high) along areas near the center of TALAS (15W).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 PM (06 GMT) FRI 02 SEPTEMBER POSITION: 31.2N 134.5E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 205 NM
SOUTHEAST OF IWAKUNI, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND A 020531Z AMSU IMAGE DEPICT A LARGE ANNULUS,
APPROXIMATELY 140 NM DIAMETER, WITH DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING
BROADLY INTO THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). JAPAN SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS AND RADAR IMAGERY INDICATE THAT THE OUTER RAINBANDS ARE
CURRENTLY MOVING OVER WESTERN JAPAN WITH COASTAL STATIONS REPORTING
30-40 KNOT WINDS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES IMPROVED
POLEWARD OUTFLOW ENHANCED BY THE STRONG MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES OVER
THE EAST SEA. THERE IS FAIR CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT POSITION,
WHICH IS BASED ON THE CENTROID OF MULTIPLE CIRCULATIONS ROTATING
CYCLONICALLY WITHIN THE ANNULUS. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON
DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 45 TO 55 KNOTS. TS 15W IS TRACKING
ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE INTO THE
WEAKNESS EVIDENT ON THE 02/00Z 500 MB ANALYSIS. FOR THE MOST PART,
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE RE-
CURVE SCENARIO AND EARLIER MODEL PROBLEMS WITH ERRONEOUS POLEWARD
TRACKS HAVE DISAPPEARED. NOGAPS, GFDN AND GFS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE
WITH A FAIRLY STRAIGHT-FORWARD SCENARIO AND SHOW SLOW OR ERRATIC
TRACKS THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS FORECAST FAVORS THE ECMWF, UKMO AND
JGSM MODELS IN ACCLERATING THE SYSTEM NORTHEASTWARD AS IT TRACKS
INTO THE STRONG WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE EAST SEA. TS 15W IS EXPECTED
TO BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) BY TAU 24 AND SHOULD
COMPLETE ETT BY TAU 48 WITH THE MODELS INDICATING A CLEAR FRONTAL
SIGNATURE IN THE 1000/500 MB THICKNESS FIELDS...more info)
