3-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK & ANALYSIS*
GUCHOL (BUTCHOY) is expected to turn more northeastward for the next 2 to 3 days. On the forecast track, the core of GUCHOL will move out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) early tonight and will be passing close to the east of Okinawa. GUCHOL will finally be making landfall over Southern Honshu traversing Central Honshu on Wednesday, and move out into the North Pacific Ocean Thursday.
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have decreased to near 230 km/hr (125 knots) with higher gusts. Continued decrease in its strength is anticipated as GUCHOL moves into unfavorable atmospheric conditions and starts transitioning into an Extratropical Cyclone by Wednesday.
Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 100 kilometers (55 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 305 kilometers (165 nautical miles. GUCHOL is now a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 835 kilometers (450 nautical miles).
The following is the summary of the 3-day forecast outlook on this system:
TUESDAY EARLY MORNING: Weakens to Category 3...accelerating rapidly NNE to NE-ward, farther away from Okinawa...about 200 km ENE of Okinawa, Japan [2AM JUN 19: 27.1N 129.7E @ 185kph].
WEDNESDAY EARLY MORNING: Downgraded to a Tropical Storm (TS)...makes landfall over Southern Honshu...becoming Extratropical...about 90 km SW of Nagoya, Japan [2AM JUN 20: 34.5N 136.4E @ 110kph].
THURSDAY EARLY MORNING: Becomes Extratropical after crossing Honshu, Japan...moving swiftly across the North Pacific Ocean...about 556 km ENE of Sendai, Japan [2AM JUN 21: 39.8N 147.0E @ 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.
