Hmmm, perhaps the US' Norfolk Fleet Weather Center? They have been providing TC warning products for the Atlantic basin similar to that of JTWC.

I'd probably start watching back towards the Nino box area (south of 20ºN, east of 160ºE) heading into the second week of September.

The latest(00Z) GFS and ECMWF are picking up on a new system developing west of the Marianas, along the eastern terminus of the Monsoon Trough, 3-4 days from now. Since the steering setup with Jebi now would be mostly unchanged by then, anything that develops will most probably head to Japan again like the models are indicating.
