I can see a change on Weather Underground's site (based off JTWC), but I haven't been able to access the JTWC site in weeks. Seems this is a problem for many people on Okinawa, currently, and I'm not sure why. Kind of a pain when that is the main site we are supposed to refer to for info. I've been getting JTWC tracks off the NRL site or here for reference. Latest track seems to bring it closer to us again.
The 03:00z track is a little closer to you. (66 Miles) The intensity at that point is 130kts.

Question, if anyone knows - Have I heard correctly that Weather Underground bases their track graphic off JTWC? Or was it JMA? I knew they weren't independently forecasting, but for the life of me, can't remember which agency they based their results from.
In any case, I appreciate those of you who have also posted the JWTC info and discussion since we've been unable to access it here. Thank you. Also thanks to SnrPepr for the analysis. I'm really learning a lot from them.

Thank you so much! We're getting to the point where every wobble is going to start to count. Such a beautiful day here today. Hard to believe there's a major storm on the way.
P.S. Just answered my own question in regards to Weather Underground. Their info is direct from JTWC.

1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
SUPER TYPHOON (STY) 05W (GUCHOL), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550 NM SOUTH
OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE SATELLITE IMAGERY
(MSI) SHOWS THE EYE CONTINUES TO HAVE A COMPRESSED EYEWALL ALONG THE
NORTHWESTERN QUADRANT EVEN THOUGH DEEP CONVECTION HAS EXPANDED ALONG
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE SYSTEM. A SERIES OF MICROWAVE IMAGES
INCLUDING A 161838Z TRMM, A 161951Z SSMI, AND A 162130Z WINDSAT SHOW
A POSSIBLE DOUBLE WALL OF CONVECTION CLOSING AROUND THE CENTRAL WALL
OF CONVECTION. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SELF-INDUCED
MESOSCALE ANTICYCLONE OVER THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
CONTINUES TO VENT THE SYSTEM ALONG THE EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL
AND IS BEGINNING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN POLEWARD OUTFLOW TOWARDS THE
LEADING EDGE OF A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH, HOWEVER THE POLEWARD CHANNEL
HAS YET TO TAP INTO THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TROUGH. THE INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE (ERC)
HAS STARTED AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT 130 KNOTS AS THE OVERALL
STRUCTURE REMAINS WELL ORGANIZED WITH SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES
(SSTS) BEING VERY FAVORABLE (30 CELSIUS), UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
IMPROVING, AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) REMAINING LOW. A 6.5/6.5
DVORAK ESTIMATE FROM PGTW SUPPORTS THE CURRENT INTENSITY. STY 05W IS
CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-
LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR).
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. STY 05W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD
THROUGH TAU 12. THE TRACK WILL SLOWLY SHIFT TO A NORTHWARD TRACK AS
THE SYSTEM ITSELF WEAKENS THE STR ALLOWING STY 05W TO MOVE POLEWARD
TOWARD THE MID-LATITUDES. A MID-LATITUDE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER
EASTERN CHINA WILL BEGIN TO ENHANCE THE TROUGH EXTENDING OVER THE
EASTERN COAST OF JAPAN, HELPING TO FURTHER WEAKEN THE NORTHWESTERN
QUADRANT OF THE STEERING STR BETWEEN TAU 24 AND 72. STY 05W IS
EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY AT OR NEAR SUPER TYPHOON LEVELS OVER
THE NEXT 36 HOURS AS IT GOES THROUGH AN ERC. THE TEMPORARY WEAKENING
OF THE CORE EYEWALL WILL BE OFFSET BY INCREASED UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
WITH THE MORE NORTHWARD TRACK TOWARDS THE MID-LATITUDES AND
FAVORABLE SSTS THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 25N (29 TO 30 DEGREES CELSIUS).
BEYOND TAU 36 INCREASING VWS AND DECREASING SSTS WILL START TO
WEAKEN STY 05W. WEAKENING WILL ACCELERATE BETWEEN TAU 48 AND 72 AS
THE MAGNITUDES FOR VWS AND SSTS INCREASE. EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION
(ETT) IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AROUND TAU 60. MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 48 AND BEGINS TO SPREAD AT TAU 72 WITH GFS AND
NGPS STILL SHOWING A MORE MAINLAND JAPAN TRACK. BASED ON THE
CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE TROUGH OVER JAPAN EXPECTED THROUGH TAU 72,
THESE TRACKS ARE LESS LIKELY, THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
THE INITIAL PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
C. IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST, STY 05W SHOULD BECOME FULLY ABSORBED
WITHIN THE BAROCLINIC ZONE BETWEEN TAU 72 AND 96, EAST OF JAPAN. STY
05W WILL ENCOUNTER INCREASINGLY UNFAVORABLE VWS AND SSTS (18-20
DEGREES CELSIUS) AS IT COMPLETES ETT. EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM WILL
WEAKEN RAPIDLY DUE TO THE HIGH VWS AND INTERACTION WITH LAND, IT
WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN GALE- TO STORM-FORCE WINDS AS AN EXTRA-TROPICAL
LOW. NUMERICAL MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK
PASSING OVER THE EASTERN COAST OF JAPAN. THE JTWC FORECAST IS RIGHT
OF, AND FASTER THAN CONSENSUS DURING THIS TIME TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
INCREASED RIDGE MODIFICATION NOTED EARLIER. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE
IN THE SPEED OF THE TRACK, HOWEVER THERE IS SOME CONCERN REGARDING
WHETHER THE SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN MORE RAPIDLY DUE TO THE CLOSE
INTERACTION WITH COASTAL JAPAN DURING THE ETT PROCESS. THE CURRENT
FORECAST IS BASED ON THE CONSERVATIVE INTENSITY MODEL GUIDANCE

Its JTWC, actually most News agencies and Internet sources use JTWC, which is surprising since its not an official source. I actually talked to an ex JTWC guy last night, he said they were always blown away when they saw the tracks on WU.

Re: WPAC: GUCHOL - Typhoon 05W
^yeah. eye continues to contract, seems the inner eyewall is starting to give in. not too optimistic about it getting stronger than it is (or was) or at least keeping its intensity at peak with this EWRC going on. If it hits less favorable region without EWR completed yet then I think it's on its way down right now.

Re: WPAC: GUCHOL - Typhoon 05W
looks like its strengthening again as outflow is expanding especially to its north...
its upper outflow was biased to the south...I think this means Guchol is in a more favorable environment.

For those in Kadena, currently TCCOR 3, would not be surprised at all if it goes to 2 today sometime. http://weather.kadenaforcesupport.com/update/tccor.htm

Looks unlikely I'll be going to Okinawa to covered Guchol since the models and forecast tracks are all showing the centre passing some distance to the east of the main island.
However those living there should still be preparing for a direct hit just in case Guchol wobbles more to the left than anticipated!

Re: WPAC: GUCHOL - Typhoon 05W
Here's the wind radii from JTWC projected out. Thankfully, this continues to keep Okinawa in the gale-force bracket... but barely.
The extrapolated track projects gale force between 1300-2400L on Monday. Peak winds at around 1800-2100L in the upper 40s (kt). Still nothing to bat an eye at... Storm-force winds (>50 kt) just east and some local areas in Okinawa could see sustained speeds in the 50s, especially if this track shifts westward. Typhoon-force remains about 30 mi E of the island.
The 03Z JTWC forecast also projects Tokyo getting into some nasty winds Wednesday morning. Current peak is at 0900L Wednesday with sustained speeds in the lower 60s (kt). Some reports of typhoon-strength may be possible, especially considering track error.

Re: WPAC: GUCHOL - Typhoon 05W
That is one impressive Microwave imagery. Really great news for Okinawa though if the storm track continues to push farther off the coast. Don't want people to get a sense of calamity though but ya. Good news.
