I noticed that the JTWC predicts, "A PEAK INTENSITY OF 140 KNOTS IS FORECAST BETWEEN TAU 36 AND TAU 48."

I'm assuming that 140 knots is the sustained wind speed. Sanba is going to have some wicked gusts.

They also say that, "IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK FORECAST DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE DEPTH AND ORIENTATION OF THE A MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH AS IT DIGS INTO THE YELLOW SEA AND EAST CHINA SEA FROM EASTERN CHINA."

Low confidence in the track forecast, sweet. Still, it looks like a long shot that we'll get anything other than waves, breezes, and hopefully some rain.
