The image above depicts the latest JTWC forecast positions for the current Tropical Storm/Typhoon in the West Pacific (See Disclaimer below). Presented are the current position (the large, red Tropical Storm/Typhoon symbol), intensity (the number within the symbol, as listed above), and forecast positions for 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours (the small, red symbols). Track forecast uncertainty (based on JTWC 5-year average forecast track errors (1998-2002), except for the 96 and 120 hour forecasts, which are JTWC 3-year average forecast track errors (2000-2002)), is represented by the thin yellow line surrounding the white track forecast positions.

The text version corresponding to this figure is presented in the Latest JTWC Forecast link in the STORM COVERAGE section.
