The following is the 2-day forecast outlook summary for this system:

SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Loses strength as it moves north-northeast towards Kyushu-Shikoku Area...about 150 km east-southeast of Kagoshima, Japan [2PM AUG 09: 31.1N 132.0E @ 120kph].

*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 2 and 3 Forecast Track has an average error of 100 and 250 km respectively...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.
