3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*

TALIM is expected to move east-northeastward for the next 2 to 3 days. On the forecast track, the core of TALIM will enter the northwestern corner of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday and make landfall over Western Taiwan...passing over or very close to Taipei around noontime Wednesday. TALIM will be moving across the East China Sea on Thursday, passing just to the north of Okinawa.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 65 km/hr (35 knots) with higher gusts. TALIM will continue to gain strength reaching peak wind intensity of 100 km/hr by Wednesday before making landfall over Western Taiwan.

Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 35 kilometers (20 nautical miles from the center. TALIM is an average-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 610 kilometers (330 nautical miles).

The following is the summary of the 3-day forecast outlook on this system:

TUESDAY MORNING: Gaining strength while over the northern part of the South China Sea...moving ENE towards Western Taiwan...about 256 km SW of Hong Kong, China [8AM JUN 19: 20.3N 115.6E @ 85kph].
WEDNESDAY MORNING: Just along the West Coast of Taiwan...gaining strength as it begin to make landfall over the area [8AM JUN 20: 23.5N 119.8E @ 100kph].
THURSDAY MORNING: Weakened to a minimal Tropical Storm as it passes to the north of Okinawa [8AM JUN 21: 28.3N 125.9E @ 75kph].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 3 Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km...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.


EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

Below is the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

. INNER RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Tropical Storm Conditions with Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-85 kph) will be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - over water (South China Sea)...not affecting any land areas. Cloudy/Rainy Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (<62 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 201 to 500 mm (high) along areas near the center of Talim (06W). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING - possible 1-3 ft [0.3-0.9 m] above normal tide levels...accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves can be expected along the coastal, inland lakes and beach front areas of Hainan Island and Southern China.
