KOMPASU recurved just east of Honshu yesterday and has just completed extratropical transition. At 2 am, KOMPASU was centred about 350 km (190 NM) NE of Sapporo.
KOMPASU is the 103rd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Japan, meaning the constellation Circinus (lit. compass, a drafting tool). This name was used in 2004 and 2010, with the former necessitating the #8 Gale or Storm Signal in Hong Kong.

KOMPASU is gradually turning north as it reaches the western edge of the subtropical ridge. It is expected to move N to NNE in the next 36 hours, crossing Hokkaido later today.
KOMPASU's stronger convections are restricted to its southern semicircle. Its intensity is not expected to change much as it gradually turns extratropical by t+36.
圓規較強的對流局限於其南半圓。預料圓規的強度不會有太大變化,並於 36 小時內逐步轉化為溫帶氣旋。

Tropical disturbance 98W east of 12W (now LIONROCK) has also transformed into a tropical storm, and was given the storm number 13W by the JTWC. At 2 am, 13W was centred about 970 km (530 NM) ESE of Tokyo.
13W is situated in the southwestern periphery of a very strong subtropical ridge, and is expected to move NW turning to N quickly in the next 24 hours. It will then round the ridge and recurve near Hokkaido.
Despite the cool sea temperatures, 13W may intensify slightly in the short run as divergence is quite good in the area. The cyclone is expected to transform into an extratropical cyclone near t+48, without much change in intensity.
