3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

TALIM is expected to move faster northeastward for the next 2 days, bending towards the ENE at Day 3. On the forecast track, the core of TALIM will move into Taiwan Strait on Wednesday and brush the northwestern and northern tip of Taiwan Wednesday evening thru early morning Thursday. It will pass more or less 30 km North of Taipei around 12 midnight Thursday. TALIM will accelerate rapidly across the East China Sea Thursday and will be along the Southern Coast of Kyushu on Friday.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 85 km/hr (45 knots) with higher gusts. TALIM is likely to gain strength reaching peak wind intensity of 95 km/hr before it interacts with the terrain of Taiwan. Thereafter, it will start transforming into an Extratropical Cyclone as it moves across the shores of Southern Japan.

Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-100 km/hr) extend outward up to 220 kilometers (120 nautical miles) from the center. TALIM is a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 720 kilometers (390 nautical miles).

The following is the summary of the 3-day forecast outlook on this system:

WEDNESDAY MORNING: Gaining strength as it tracks northeastward near the Southeastern Coast of China...moving faster into Taiwan Strait...about 181 km SE of Shantou, China [8AM JUN 20: 22.4N 118.1E @ 95kph].
THURSDAY MORNING: Accelerating rapidly northeastward while moving across the East China Sea, after brushing the northern tip of Taiwan...about 286 km NE of Taipei, Taiwan...becoming Extratropical [8AM JUN 21: 27.0N 123.4E @ 85kph].
FRIDAY MORNING: Becomes Extratropical while along the Southern Coast of Kyushu, Japan [8AM JUN 22: 31.0N 130.8E @ 75kph].

*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

Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

INNER RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions with Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-85 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Cloudy/Rainy Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (<62 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 200 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along areas affected by the outer & inner rainbands (see above)...with isolated amounts of 201 to 450 mm (high) along areas near the center of Talim (06W). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 1-3 ft [0.3-0.9 m] above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal, inland lakes and beach front areas of Southern & Southeastern China. Very 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 Western Luzon and Vietnam.
