Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: IRREGULAR EYE (24-KM) - remains over water (Northwestern Pacific)...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 - remains over water...not affecting any land areas. Typhoon Conditions with typhoon force winds (>118 kph) can be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall). INNER RAINBANDS - remains over water...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) can be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the japanese islands of Okinawa, Ryukyu, Iwo To, Bonin, & Chichi Jima. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands). 06HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 80 mm (low to med rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 130 mm (medium-high) near the center of MA-ON (INENG).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) SUN 17 JULY POSITION: 23.4N 135.6E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 08W (MA-ON), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 765 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF TOKYO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
DEPICTS A WEAKENING INNER EYEWALL WITH A 13 NM (EYE TEMPERATURE OF
+3C) IRREGULAR EYE AND A DEVELOPING OUTER EYEWALL. RECENT MICROWAVE
IMAGERY TO INCLUDE A 161939Z SSMI IMAGE AND 162141Z TRMM IMAGE
CLEARLY INDICATE THAT AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE (ERC) IS WELL
UNDERWAY WITH A NEAR COMPLETE OUTER EYEWALL AND AN ERODING INNER
EYEWALL. MICROWAVE IMAGERY ALSO CONTINUES TO DEPICT A LARGE 300-360
NM RADIUS SYSTEM WITH DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING EXTENDING AS FAR WEST
AS 220 NM. OVERALL, OUTFLOW HAS IMPROVED ESPECIALLY POLEWARD OUTFLOW
WHICH HAS IMPROVED OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE AS THE TUTT HAS
WEAKENED. THE SYSTEM HAS TURNED NORTHWESTWARD WITH A MINOR WOBBLE
INDICATED IN ANIMATED IMAGERY. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE
POSITION AND MOTION BASED ON THE VISIBLE EYE. THE CURRENT INTENSITY
IS ASSESSED AT 110 KNOTS BASED ON AN AVERAGE OF DVORAK ESTIMATES
RANGING FROM 102 TO 115 KNOTS. TY 08W IS STILL EXPECTED TO RE-
INTENSIFY TO ABOUT 125 KNOTS WITHIN THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS AFTER THE
ERC IS COMPLETE AND UPPER-LEVEL CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO
IMPROVE...(more info)
