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) circulation remains very large with little change in its structure. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

INNER RAINBANDS - over water (Western Pacific)...not affecting any islands or land areas . Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting the Northernmost Mariana Islands, Iwo To, Bonin, & Chichi Jima. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (25-61 kph) will be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).

CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: MODERATE >> Sunny to mostly cloudy skies with a possible chance of passing showers or squalls will be expected across the following affected areas: NORTHERN MARIANAS. Moderate to strong SW'ly winds (not in excess of 50 kph) will blow across the abovementioned areas.

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) SUN 28 AUGUST POSITION: 22.9N 139.7E.
*TROPICAL STORM 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 750 NM
SOUTH OF TOKYO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 01 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY  SHOWS
CONVECTION CONTINUING TO TIGHTEN AROUND THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC). THE CONVECTION IS NOT PARTICULARLY DEEP, AS REVEALED
IN A 272243Z SSMIS IMAGE, BUT THE LOWER FREQUENCY IMAGE DOES SHOW
THAT THE CONVECTIVE BANDING HAS NOW COMPLETELY ENCIRCLED THE LLCC.
DVORAK ESTIMATES HAVE REMAINED STEADY AT 45 KNOTS, BUT THE OBSERVED
CONSOLIDATION INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS BEGINNING TO INTENSIFY SLOWLY.
SURFACE REPORTS AND A 280003Z ASCAT IMAGE SHOW THAT GALE FORCE WINDS
EXTEND OUTWARD FROM THE LLCC NEARLY TO IWO TO. THE BROAD LLCC AND
SLOW AND ERRATIC MOTION OF THE STORM ARE A RESULT OF WEAK AND
COMPLEX WEAK UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS. UPPER LEVEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS
REVEALS AN ANTICYCLONE DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE SYSTEM ALONG THE 28TH
LATITUDE, WHICH IS PART OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE, WHILE THE NEAR
EQUATORIAL RIDGE EXTENDS ALONG THE EQUATORWARD SIDE OF THE STORM. TS
15W IS EFFECTIVELY TRAPPED BETWEEN THE TWO RIDGES, BENEATH A NARROW
AND DIFFUSE TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH. RECENT ANIMATED
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS EXPANDING RADIAL OUTFLOW.  ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT, WITH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
BELOW 10 KNOTS AND SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES NEAR 28
DEGREES...(
