THURSDAY MORNING:  Intensifying while maintaining its NW'ly motion...about 942 km SSW of Tokyo, Japan [11AM SEP 01: 27.7N 136.4E @ 130kph].
FRIDAY MORNING:  Turns North with no change in strength...threatens Japan...about 417 km SSE of Tanabe, Japan [8AM SEP 02: 30.0N 136.1E @ 130kph].

Maximum Sustained Winds (10-min. avg) remain near 120 km/hr (65 knots) with higher gusts. TALAS is a Category 1 Typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 120 kilometers (65 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-110 km/hr) extend outward up to 370 kilometers (200 nautical miles). 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) radial circulation continues to improved except for the NW periphery with the eyewall wrapping closer to the large center. Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

LARGE EYE - over water (Western Pacific)...not affecting any land areas. Possible calm and lull conditions (with <20 kph winds) will be expected inside the eye (click here to know more about the EYE).
DEVELOPING EYEWALL - over water (Western Pacific)...not affecting any land areas. Typhoon Conditions with Typhoon Force Winds (>118 kph) will be expected within this wall (click here to know more about the Eyewall).
INNER RAINBANDS - over water (Western Pacific)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - affecting & spreading across Iwo To, Bonin & Chichi Jima Islands. 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 205 to 400 mm (high) along areas near the center of TALAS (15W). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 8 AM (00 GMT) WED 31 AUGUST POSITION: 26.6N 137.9E.
*TROPICAL STORM 15W (TALAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 510 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF KYOTO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 07
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS A BROAD, EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) WITH CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDS WRAPPING INTO THE SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN HALVES OF THE SYSTEM. A 30/2239Z TRMM IMAGE ALSO SHOWS THESE
BANDS OF CONVECTION WRAPPING INTO THE OUTER PERIPHERY OF THE LLCC.
INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED MSI AND MICROWAVE
IMAGERY WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON
PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS.
A 31/0141Z ASCAT PASS PARTIALLY DEPICTS THE EXPANSIVE WIND RADII. TS
15W IS LOCATED BENEATH AN UPPER LEVEL LOW, WHICH HAS SUPPRESSED
CENTRAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS  OUTFLOW HAS SLIGHTLY DECREASED TO THE WEST OF
TS 15W, AND THIS HAS RESULTED IN DECREASING CONVECTION IN THE
NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE SYSTEM. TS 15W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG
THE SOUTHWESTERN EXTENT OF A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE
NORTHEAST AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...(
