...DEVELOPING TROPICAL DISTURBANCE HEADED TOWARD THE MARIANAS...
A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY LOCATED ABOUT 500 MILES EAST OF THE
MARIANA ISLANDS NEAR 14N153E IS STEADILY DEVELOPING AND MAY INTENSIFY
INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION WITHIN THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. APPARENT
MOVEMENT AT THIS TIME IS AROUND 10 MPH TO THE WEST. MAXIMUM WINDS
NEAR THE CENTER ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 25 MPH.
WEATHER FORECAST MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE
MOVING WEST OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 3 DAYS TOWARD THE CNMI. SINCE THIS IS
NEAR THE PEAK OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE SEASON IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC
RESIDENTS OF THE MARIANAS ARE ADVISED TO BE WARY OF THIS TROPICAL
DISTURBANCE AND CLOSELY MONITOR ITS DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS. WEAK DISTURBANCES CAN QUICKLY INTENSIFY DURING LATE SUMMER
OR EARLY FALL IN THIS PART OF THE PACIFIC CALLED TYPHOON ALLEY.
IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE THE MARIANAS HAVE BEEN THREATENED BY
A TYPHOON. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW YOUR PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURES
AND RESTOCK YOUR TYPHOON EMERGENCY KITS WELL BEFORE A TROPICAL STORM
WATCH OR WARNING IS DECLARED.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL UPDATE THIS INFORMATION AS NEEDED
BASED ON FORECAST INFORMATION FROM THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER.

REMARKS:
152100Z POSITION NEAR 18.5N 143.9E. SUPER TYPHOON (STY) 15W (CHOI-
WAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 200 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF SAIPAN, HAS
TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE LAST 06 HOURS.
RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS AN IMPRESSIVE, WELL ORGANIZED
SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDS WRAPPING AROUND A DEFINED
EYE. A 151602Z AQUA IMAGE SHOWS A DEEP CONVECTIVE EYE-WALL WITH
BANDING EXTENDING RADIALLY FROM THE CENTER. THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN A
VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH HIGH OCEAN HEAT CONTENT, LOW
VERTICAL WINDSHEAR, AND DUAL OUTFLOW CHANNELS INTO A TROPICAL UPPER
TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH TO THE EAST AND EQUATORWARD. THE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO TRACK WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY
OF THE LOW- TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTH. STY
15W WILL START TO RECURVE AROUND THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE STR
AROUND TAU 48 AND WILL START TO ACCELERATE TO THE NORTHEAST IN THE
GRADIENT FLOW BETWEEN THE STR AND AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE
TROUGH. ALONG TRACK SPEED AFTER TAU 72 HAS BEEN INCREASED SINCE THE
LAST FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 151800Z IS 35
FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 160300Z, 160900Z, 161500Z AND 162100Z.

I like the sound of that, "super typhoon" they should have something similar here in the EPAC and atlantic, it makes the storm sound more menacing. I also like the sound of "super cyclonic storm" used in the north indian ocean.

Hopefully it will follow the forecasted track and stay well east of Japan.
