Newtalk新聞 薔琵颱風來勢洶洶，目前正持續增強長胖，暴風半徑上看300公里，預計明(19)日達顛峰。現在各國的預估路徑仍有差異，中央氣象署預估，薔琵中心將在23日從宮古島附近通過，不會登陸；不過，日本氣象廳、韓國氣象局則認為，颱風將於24日直撲台灣，從宜花一帶通過；至於美國海軍則判斷颱風將擦邊通過。 氣象署資料顯示，薔琵颱風今日上午8時的中心位置在關島西方610公里的海面上(鵝鑾鼻東南東方2120公里的海面上)，以每小時21公里的速度，向西北西進行。薔琵近中心最大風速已從每秒51公尺增強至53公尺，預計明日將達到強度巔峰，預估近中心風速可達每秒60公尺、暴風半徑上看300公里，其風速將追平今年的辛樂克、巴威及白海豚颱風，挑戰今年「風王」寶座。 面對薔琵颱風進逼，各國都相當關注，但路徑預報仍有些微差異。根據國家災害防救科技中心(NCDR)彙整，今早各國最新的颱風路徑預報顯示，各國氣象機構的預報均有所北修；其中，氣象署預測颱風將從台灣東部海面北上，在宮古島附近通過，北轉角度最大；至於美國海軍則預估颱風會從台灣北部海域擦邊通過，但兩者皆預測不會登陸。 不過，日、韓的預報則完全不同，皆預測颱風會從台灣東半部登陸通過。日本氣象廳預估，薔琵颱風將會直撲台灣，從花蓮通過成為一個「穿心颱」；至於韓國氣象局預估的通過位置則偏北一些，大概會從宜蘭一帶通過。這也讓現在各國的預估路徑分成「登陸」、「北轉遠離」、「擦邊通過」3種模式，意味著後期路徑仍有不小的修正空間。延伸閱讀：薔琵颱風路徑漸明朗！暴風半徑上看300公里 最快10/22海陸警齊發強颱薔琵眼牆重組完成！颱風眼清晰可見 鄭明典：還有增強空間強颱薔琵恐成今年風王！最快週三晚發海警 對台風雨影響曝薔琵最快今晚轉強颱「下週發海警」！傳統與AI預測超分歧 路徑從海南島跨到日本薔琵颱風來勢洶洶！5縣市暴風圈侵襲率破5成 不排除成今年最長壽強颱
