TOKAGE is moving northeast and remains as a severe tropical storm. At 2 pm, TOKAGE was centred about 770 km (420 NM) SSE of Hong Kong.

蝎虎向東北移動，並維持強烈熱帶風暴強度。在下午 2 時，蝎虎集結在香港東南偏南約 770 公里 (420 海里)。

TOKAGE is the 117th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Japan, meaning the constellation Lacerta. This name was used in 2004 and 2011.

The subtropical ridge is situated east of TOKAGE; the storm is moving northeast due to the ridge's influence at lower latitudes. The storm will come to a stop soon as the northeast monsoon arrives. TOKAGE is expected to weaken and turn WSW along the low-level northeasterlies after t+12, and will accelerate gradually.

副熱帶高壓脊處於蝎虎以東，於低緯度勢力範圍較大，令蝎虎向東北移動。隨著東北季候風到達，預料蝎虎即將減速並滯留；風暴會開始減弱，並於 12 小時後沿低層東北風轉向西南偏西移動，其後逐漸加速。

TOKAGE's core area remains intact, but there is evidence of increasing vertical wind shear in the region. As prevailing winds at lower and upper levels come from opposite directions, TOKAGE's vertical structure will deteriorate and the storm is expected to weaken steadily as it interacts with cool, dry air mass. The storm is expected to dissipate over water near t+48.

蝎虎的中心範圍仍然完整，但周邊垂直風切變有所提升。由於高低層盛行風向相反，蝎虎的垂直結構將轉差，風暴將於較乾冷氣團中減弱，預料會於約 48 小時後於海上消散。

No threat to Hong Kong is expected within the next 72 hours.

預料蝎虎於未來的 72 小時將不會對香港構成影響。

As TOKAGE is expected to deflect to the southwest at a considerable distance from Hong Kong, it is unlikely that tropical cyclone signals are necessary.

由於預料蝎虎轉向西南時與香港保持較遠距離，發出熱帶氣旋信號的可能性不大。

TOKAGE has intensified into a severe tropical storm. At 2 pm, TOKAGE was centred about 350 km (190 NM) WSW of Manila.

蝎虎已增強為強烈熱帶風暴。在下午 2 時，蝎虎集結在馬尼拉西南偏西約 350 公里 (190 海里)。

TOKAGE is moving northwest along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. The ridge is expected to weaken soon; this will allow TOKAGE to turn north. At higher latitudes, the storm will encounter much cooler and drier air mass from the northeast monsoon. TOKAGE is expected to decelerate and weaken gradually, and later follow the low-level northeasterlies, accelerating to the SW or WSW near t+48.

蝎虎正沿副熱帶高壓脊西南部向西北移動。預料該脊即將減弱，令蝎虎移向轉北。隨著蝎虎到達較高緯度，它將受東北季候風及其相關較乾冷氣團的影響，預料風暴會減速並減弱，並於約 48 小時後沿低層東北風向西南或西南偏西加速移動。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T3.5/3.5/D1.0/24 HRS

TOKAGE's core has tightened over the past 24 hours. The storm is expected to intensify slightly in the next 12 to 24 hours as it remains in warm seas with decent upper-level divergence. After t+24, TOKAGE will start to weaken as it stagnates at a higher latitude and is affected by much higher vertical wind shear and cooler sea temperatures. A rapid decay is expected at later taus and the storm will likely dissipate over water near t+72.

蝎虎的中心結構於過去 24 小時進一步收緊。由於風暴仍處於溫暖海域及良好高層輻散環境，預料將能於未來 12 至 24 小時稍為增強。蝎虎於 24 小時後將到達較高緯度並逐漸處於停滯狀態，其後它將受較冷空氣及非常高的垂直風切變影響，預料會快速減弱並於約 72 小時後於海上消散。

No threat to Hong Kong is expected within the next 72 hours.

預料蝎虎於未來的 72 小時將不會對香港構成影響。

Tropical disturbance 98W intensified into tropical depression 29W in southeastern Philippines last night. It intensified into a tropical storm today, and was named TOKAGE. At 2 pm, TOKAGE was centred about 330 km (180 NM) S of Manila.

熱帶擾動 98W 昨晚於菲律賓東南部增強為熱帶低氣壓 29W。29W 今天增強為熱帶風暴，被命名為蝎虎。在下午 2 時，蝎虎集結在馬尼拉以南約 330 公里 (180 海里)。

TOKAGE is the 117th name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Japan, meaning the constellation Lacerta. This name was used in 2004 and 2011.

TOKAGE is moving WNW along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge that covers much of the tropical northwest Pacific. A mid-latitude trough is now eroding the ridge and its western edge is expected to retreat slightly, allowing TOKAGE to turn poleward in central South China Sea just off the coast of western Philippines. At higher latitudes, the storm will encounter much cooler and drier air mass from the northeast monsoon, leading to its decay. Once TOKAGE weakens, it will follow the low-level northeasterlies and accelerate to the southwest near t+72.

副熱帶高壓脊正覆蓋熱帶西北太平洋大部分洋面，蝎虎正沿其西南部向西北偏西移動。一道西風槽正侵蝕副高，預料其西部邊緣將稍為東退，令蝎虎於菲律賓西部對開的南海中部北移。隨著蝎虎到達較高緯度，它將受東北季候風的影響，較乾冷的氣團將令風暴減弱。減弱後，蝎虎將於約 72 小時後沿低層東北風向西南加速移動。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T2.5/2.5/INT OBS

TOKAGE is a compact system and has tightly banding convections around its centre, although slightly more convections are displaced to the west. Intensification is likely in the short term as TOKAGE enters the warm South China Sea with decent upper-level divergence. The storm will start to weaken after t+48 as it stagnates at a higher latitude and is affected by much higher vertical wind shear and cooler sea temperatures. A rapid decay is expected and the storm will likely dissipate over water near t+96.

蝎虎結構緊密，中心附近螺旋雲帶清晰可見，但較多對流集中於風暴西面。隨著蝎虎進入溫暖的南海，加上高層輻散良好，預料蝎虎能於短期內增強。風暴於 48 小時後將到達較高緯度並逐漸處於停滯狀態，屆時它將受較冷空氣及非常高的垂直風切變影響，預料會快速減弱並於約 96 小時後於海上消散。

No threat to Hong Kong is expected within the next 72 hours.

預料蝎虎於未來的 72 小時將不會對香港構成影響。
