2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*
ROKE (ONYOK) is expected to accelerate NE-ward during the next 2 days. On the forecast track, the center of the typhoon will make landfall over Southern Honshu, just to the WSW of Tokyo on Wednesday afternoon...and will pass close to the north of Metropolitan Tokyo Wednesday evening. ROKE will be just along the Kuril Island Chain Thursday afternoon.
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have decreased to near 175 km/hr (95 knots) with higher gusts. ROKE is a Category 2 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Continued weakening is expected during the next 24 hours as it approaches the southern coast of Honshu. It will remain a typhoon prior in making landfall to Japan. ROKE will start transforming from a Tropical Cyclone to an Extratropical Cyclone between 36 to 48 hours or just after the system exits Honshu, Japan.
Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 85 kilometers (45 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 260 kilometers (140 nautical miles). KULAP is a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 890 kilometers (480 nautical miles).
The following is the summary of the 2-day forecast outlook on this system:
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: Weakens to a Category 1 Typhoon while making landfall over Southern Honshu...about 148 km WSW of Tokyo, Japan [2PM SEP 21: 34.9N 138.4 @ 140kph].
THURSDAY AFTERNOON: Passing near Kuril Islands as it becomes an Extratropical Cyclone...about 78 km South of Kuril Islands [2PM SEP 22: 44.9N 149.6E @ 95kph].
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 3 Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km...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
ROKE's (ONYOK) large circulation remains organized w/ heavy rainband convection and a 35-km elongated eye at the center. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:
35-KM. EYE - over water (just south of Shikoku). Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) will be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE). EYEWALL - over water (just south of Shikoku)...not affecting any major land areas. 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 the southern shores of Kyushu-Shikoku. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Ryukyus, Okinawa, & other parts 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 101 to 150 mm (medium to high) along areas near the center of ROKE (ONYOK). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic). COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 6-8 ft [1.8-2.6 m] above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Southern Japan particularly the southern shores of Shikoku & Honshu. Moderate damage is likely on this type of storm surge. Danger from Rip Currents or Rip Tides can be expected along the beach-front areas of the Southern Islands of Japan (Okinawa-Ryukyus) and other shorelines of Japan.
