TALAS (15W) is expected to move generally to the north within the next 24 to 48 hours & intensify. It will remain over open waters throughout the forecast period. Below is the summary of the 2-day forecast for this system. 
TOMORROW MORNING (TUE): Nearing Typhoon status while moving north slowly...about 125 km WNW of Iwo To (formerly Iwo Jima) [8AM AUG 30: 25.1N 140.1E @ 110kph]. WEDNESDAY MORNING: Upgraded to a Typhoon as it accelerates toward the NNW...about 263 km WNW of Bonin Island [8AM AUG 31: 27.3N 138.5E @ 130kph].
Maximum Sustained Winds (10-min. avg) remain near 100 km/hr (55 knots) with higher gusts. TALAS is a strong Tropical Storm (TS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. It is likely to intensify for the next 2 days...becoming a Typhoon on Tuesday. Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-110 km/hr) extend outward up to 335 kilometers (180 nautical miles) from the center. TALAS remains a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 1,205 kilometers (650 nautical miles) across. THURSDAY MORNING: Maintains its strength...turns NNE [8AM SEP 01: 30.5N 138.9E @ 130kph].
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Extended Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km on Day 3...450 km on Day 4...and 650 km on Day 5, 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.
TALAS' (15W) circulation remains very large with some improvement in its structure...intensification likely. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: DEVELOPING EYEWALL - approaching & moving into Iwo To (formerly Iwo Jima). Typhoon Conditions with Typhoon Force Winds (>118 kph) will be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall). INNER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Bonin Island. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands. OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across 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). 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 210 to 380 mm (high) along areas near the center of TALAS (15W).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) MON 29 AUGUST POSITION: 23.8N 140.2E.
*TROPICAL STORM (TS) 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 700 NM
SOUTH OF TOKYO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHEASTWARD AT 01 KNOT OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
SERIES OF RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGES VERIFY THAT TS 15W IS STILL MOVING
NORTHEAST, ALBEIT SLOWLY. THE 24 HOUR NET MOVEMENT IS NORTHEAST AT
LESS THAN 03 KNOTS. THE IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS VERY SLOW CONSOLIDATION
OF THE CONVECTION AROUND AN EXPANSIVE AND MOSTLY CLOUD-FREE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 37GHZ 282027Z SSMIS IMAGE REVEALS
THICK CONVECTIVE BANDING HAS COMPLETELY ENCIRCLED THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER, BUT THE HIGHER FREQUENCY IMAGERY DOES NOT
INDICATE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEEP CONVECTION. THERE ARE BANDS OF
DEEP CONVECTION ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE STORM, ESPECIALLY OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN SEMICIRCLE, BUT THEY ARE DISPLACED FROM THE CORE. THE
DISPLACEMENT OF CONVECTION AWAY FROM THE SYSTEM CENTER IS MAKING
DVORAK ASSESSMENTS LESS REPRESENTATIVE OF ACTUAL INTENSITY. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY ANALYSIS IS BASED ON AN EARLIER ASCAT IMAGE, A
PRESSURE REPORT FROM A BUOY IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT AND REPORTS
FROM IWO TO. IWO TO HAS BEEN SEEING SUSTAINED GALE FORCE
SOUTHEASTERLIES WITH STORM FORCE GUSTS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
REVEALS THAT TS 15W HAS DEVELOPED RADIAL OUTFLOW AND INSULATED
ITSELF FROM THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS
UNDER 10 KNOTS AND SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE 27 TO 28 DEGREES. TS
15W IS UNDER WHAT IS LEFT OF A NARROW TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC
TROUGH (TUTT), CONFINED ON THE POLEWARD SIDE BY THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE (STR) AND ON THE EQUATORWARD SIDE BY THE NEAR EQUATORIAL
RIDGE. THE 281200Z PGTW UPPER LEVEL STREAMLINE ANALYSIS REVEALS AN
ANTICYCLONE EMBEDDED IN THE STR NEAR 29N 133E. THE ANTICYCLONE HAS
BEEN RETROGRADING SLOWLY TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER THE PAST
48 HOURS...(more info)
