CURRENT STORM ANALYSIS

As of 5:00 pm today, the center of TS Man-yi (16W) was located over the Western Pacific Ocean...about 810 km east-southeast of Okinawa, Japan or 1,150 km south-southwest of Tokyo, Japan...currently moving northwest with an increased forward speed of 26 km/hr towards Southern Japan.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have increased to 85 km/hr near the center with higher gusts. Tropical Storm Force Winds (63-100 km/hr) extend outward up to 250 kilometers from the center. Man-yi (16W) remains a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 1,020 kilometers across. The 24-hour rainfall accumulation near the center of Man-yi is estimated to be extreme (400 mm).


2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK*

TS Man-yi (16W) is expected to move northerly during the next 12 hours...with a recurvature to the north-northeast by 24 hours. By 48 hours, the system will rapidly accelerate northeasterward. On the forecast track, the core of Man-Yi will be approaching the southern shores of Honshu on Sunday afternoon...and will make landfall over Aichi and Shizouka Prefectures in Honshu, Japan on Monday morning.

TS Man-yi will continue to strengthen during the next 24 to 36 hours...and could be near-Typhoon intensity by early Monday morning. Advance Intensity Forecast (AIF) shows its 1-minute sustained winds reaching 110 km/hr prior in making landfall to Southern Honshu.

The following is the summary of the 2-day forecast outlook and an extended 3-day forecast on this system:

SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Approaching the southern shores of Honshu as it recurves toward the northeast...about 310 km south of Tanabe, Japan [5PM SEP 15: 30.9N 135.2E @ 100kph].
MONDAY AFTERNOON: Just along the eastern shores of Honshu...becoming an Extratropical Cyclone...about 165 km east of Sendai, Japan [5PM SEP 16: 38.1N 142.8E @ 95kph].
TUESDAY AFTERNOON: Becomes an Extratropical Cyclone as it accelerates very fast across the Western Pacific Ocean...about 340 km east of Kuril Islands [5PM SEP 17: 45.8N 154.5E @ 75kph].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 2 and 3 Forecast Tracks have an average error of 100 and 250 km respectively...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.
