2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

TALAS (15W) is expected to continue moving toward the North during the next 24 hours, with a turn towards the NNE through 48 hours. On the forecast track, the center of the storm will move across Western Honshu in the next few hours...and track across the Sea of Japan late tonight. TALAS will be moving into the central part of Japan Sea Sunday...and over the Eastern Russia on Monday. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system.

SUNDAY EARLY MORNING:  Moving North across the Sea of Japan...about 334 km North of Okayama, Japan [11AM SEP 04: 37.7N 133.9E @ 95kph].
MONDAY MORNING:  Turns NNE as it loses tropical characteristics...moving into Eastern Russia [8AM SEP 05: 44.5N 135.7E @ --kph].

Maximum Sustained Winds (10-min. avg) have decreased to near 100 km/hr (55 knots) with higher gusts. TALAS is a Tropical Storm (TS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. TALAS will weaken upon crossing Western Honshu today.

Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 220 kilometers (120 nautical miles) from the center. 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

TALAS' (15W) large radial circulation has become more fragmented as it makes landfall along Southern Japan. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

LARGE EYE-LIKE CENTER - Over Shikoku, Japan...moving into Western Honshu. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) will be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE).
FRAGMENTED INNER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Shikoku, Eastern Kyushu & Western 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 except Northern Honshu. 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 210 mm (high) along areas near the center of TALAS (15W). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
