FORECAST OUTLOOK ANALYSIS (up to 2 days)* MA-ON's (INENG) CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH (CPA)* EXTENDED FORECAST TRACK (3 to 5 days)* EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY
MA-ON (INENG) is expected to continue losing strength as it veers towards the NE and make landfall along the Southern & Eastern Shikoku & Wakayama Peninsula (Southern Honshu) within the next 24 to 36 hours. It shall track more to the East to ESE, passing south of Tokyo by Thursday morning (48 hours). Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system.
THIS EVENING (TUE): Just barely a Typhoon as it moves onshore & makes landfall along the Southern Coast of Shikoku, Japan...about 15 km SE of Kochi, Japan [8PM JUL 19: 33.4N 133.7E @ 120kph].
TOMORROW MORNING (WED): Downgraded to a Tropical Storm (TS) upon crossing the rugged terrain of Shikoku...currently crossing the Wakayama Peninsula of Southern Honshu...about 140 km SSW of Kyoto, Japan [8AM JUL 20: 34.0N 135.4E @ 110kph].
TOMORROW EVENING (WED): Turns ESE-ward and exits the Wakayama Peninsula...currently offshore about 170 km SSE of Nagoya, Japan [8PM JUL 20: 33.7N 137.2E @ 110kph].
THURSDAY MORNING: Continues to move ESE farther away from the Southern Coast of Honshu...about 280 km SSW of Tokyo, Japan [8AM JUL 21: 33.2N 139.3E @ 110kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 130 km/hr (70 knots) with higher gusts. MA-ON (INENG) is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Continued weakening is expected within the next 12-24 hours due to land interaction. 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 415 kilometers (225 nautical miles). MA-ON remains a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 1,055 kilometers (570 nautical miles) across.

MA-ON's (INENG) very large circulation is now spreading across much of Japan with its core just along the SW Coast of Shikoku. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:
CLOUD-FILLED EYE - remains over water (or near the SW coast of Shikoku)...not affecting any land areas. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) can be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE).
EYEWALL - spreading & affecting Southwestern & Southern Coast of Shikoku. Typhoon Conditions with typhoon force winds (>118 kph) can be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall).
INNER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting Kyushu, Rest of Shikoku, & Wakayama Peninsula (off Southern Honshu) today. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) can be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the whole of Japan except for Northernmost part of Honshu and Hokkaido. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
6-12HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 50 mm (low to medium rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 100 mm (med-high) near the center of MA-ON (INENG). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 4 to 5 feet above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal and beach front areas of Kyushu, Shikoku, & Southern Honshu today until Wednesday. Minimal 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 Japan and the outlying islands of Okinawa, Ryukyu, Chichijima, Iwo To and other neaby areas. (click here to know more about Storm Surge).
CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: VERY WEAK >> Mostly sunny to some cloudy periods with possible passing drizzles, showers, & thunderstorms will be expected along the following affected areas: PALAWAN, VISAYAS & WESTERN LUZON. Moderate to strong SW'ly winds (not in excess of 35 kph) will blow.
Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook, extended forecast, effects-hazards, current monsoon intensity, & tropical cyclone watch changes every 6 to 12 hrs!
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) TUE 19 JULY POSITION: 31.9N 132.9E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 08W (MA-ON), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 400 NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF TOKYO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 11 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
WELL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH A TIGHTLY
CURVED BAND OF DEEP CONVECTION SPIRALING INWARD ALONG THE EASTERN
AND SOUTHERN QUADRANTS. MUCH SHALLOWER CONVECTION IS PRESENT IN THE
WESTERN AND NORTHERN QUADRANTS, INDICATIVE OF SLIGHT WEAKENING
DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS. AN 18/0030Z 89 GHZ AMSU-B MICROWAVE
SATELLITE IMAGE ALSO SHOWS CONVECTION CONCENTRATED ALONG THE
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE LLCC. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY CONTINUES TO INDICATE GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW WITH A STRONGER
DIFFLUENT CHANNEL EXTENDING OUTWARD FROM THE NE QUADRANT OF THE
SYSTEM. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS ALSO FAVORABLE (5-10 KNOTS). THE
OUTER RAIN BANDS ARE EXTENDING WELL INTO HONSHU AND KYUSHU WITH
STRONGER BANDS IMPACTING SHIKOKU, PARTICULARLY IN HIGHER TERRAIN.
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM THE COAST OF KYUSHU INDICATE WINDS OF 20-
30 KNOTS BETWEEN TOKUSHIMA AND KOSHIGA. THE TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER
LOOP CONTINUES TO DEPICT A VERY NARROW BAND OF RELATIVELY DRIER AIR
WRAPPING INTO THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT FROM THE WEST. IMPACTS TO STORM
STRUCTURE ARE MINIMAL, HOWEVER, WITH CONVECTION IN THE SOUTHWEST
QUADRANT ONLY SLIGHTLY SUPPRESSED. TY 08W IS TRACKING ALONG THE
NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS AS IT
APPROACHES LANDFALL IN SHIKOKU. CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON PGTW,
KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 65 TO 77
KNOTS..(more info)
