Re: Typhoon FITOW (WPAC): Disc, Analysis & Imagery
JTWC has this approaching Japan as a 95KT(1-min) typhoon in the next few days. Tokyo might want to pay attention to this storm.

Higos caused about $300 million in damage.
JMA had Higos landfalling with 10-min sustained winds of 70KT.
JTWC had Higos landfalling with 1-min sustained winds of 80KT.

Re: STS FITOW (WPAC): Disc, Analysis & Imagery
JTWC has this at 70KT (1-min). Forecasts Fitow to strengthen to 80KT and then a bit of weakening before landfall, which is expected to be around 75KT. Tokyo will be close to the eyewall.

Re: Typhoon FITOW (WPAC): Disc, Analysis & Imagery
Long time lurker. I was previously stationed in Jacksonville during the 2004 season, and now I am currently stationed in Japan at NAF Atsugi. As of right now the eye is supposed to pass within 40 nm of here. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much around about this storm. Looks like it will be getting interesting here starting tomorrow afternoon. This map shows where I am located, just west of Tokyo and Yokohama.

Anyone else notice the mesovortex (mesovortices?) appearing in Fitow's eye?
