Absolute Vorticity

Jebi is now a TD and it won't really be bothering anyone doing the ole recurve NE of Japan. TS Krathon is about ready to be a typhoon. On satellite it probably already is. You can see an eye now. This one now looks to impact Taiwan in the coming days as it turns more to the NNE. It may get the Koreas or Japan in the longer term. Not sure yet that far out.

Jebi is back up to a TS now and may even become a typhoon briefly as it recurves NE of Japan. Meanwhile, Krathon is a now a powerful typhoon headed towards Taiwan and then potentially towards the Koreas.

Jebi is a typhoon now about ready to do the re-curve NE of Japan. The only change to Typhoon Krathon is it is expected to slow down and nail Taiwan for several days.

Jebi is back down to a TS moving NE and away from the mainland. Typhoon Krathon is starting to hammer Taiwan and the nightmare for them is just beginning.

Typhoon Krathon continues to hammer Taiwan.

Krathon has now weakened into a remnant low over Taiwan.

We are down to one wave on the board now... 99W which has a medium chance to develop.

TD 21W is now on the map. This one atm is expected to remain a TS and recurve NE of Japan.

21W is now a TS. No major changes otherwise to report.

21W is back down to a TD moving NE off the Coast of Japan.

TS 21W or TS Barijat continues moving to the NNE and eventually a little more NNW motion is expected in the coming days. Still not seeing a threat to Japan.

Barijat is now a remnant low.

Wave 96W has a medium chance to develop, while wave 95W has a low chance.

Only 1 item on the board today and it is 96W. It now has a high chance to develop,.

We now have TD 22W which looks to be getting its act together in short order. This system is expected to track over the N Philippines then eventually into SE Asia.

We also have 97W which has a low chance of development.

We now have TS Trami with no changes in track moving west towards the Philippines and eventually SE Asia.

https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/wp2224.gif

Wave 97W has a medium chance to develop with 98W a low chance.

TS Trami is approaching the N Philippines at this time. No changes to the above post. 98W still has a medium chance to develop.

TS Trami is about to move away from the N Philippines and is still forecast to impact SE Asia. 98W has a high chance to develop. 99W has a low chance.

TS Trami looks to impact SE Asia, like Vietnam / Cambodia area over thew weekend into early next week.

We now have TD Kong-Rey which has formed NW of Guam moving to the NW and eventually turning more North and missing the Philippines. It may also become a typhoon as well. Too early to know if China or Japan will be threatened or not by this one.

Finally, 98W has a medium chance to develop.

No changes to TS Trami as it continues to track towards SE Asia. Kong-Rey is now a TS and is expected to become a typhoon and track in between Taiwan and Japan as it begins to turn more to the NW. Some of those smaller islands in the southern part of the island chain will be impacted by this system.

TS Trami is now impacting Vietnam. Kong-Rey is still expected to become a typhoon. The center should miss Taiwan as it turns more to the north but it'll be close.

Trami is now a TD so we can take this one off the board as it weakens over Vietnam. Kong-Rey is just about ready to become a typhoon. The track has now changed. Taiwan looks to get hit now by this system. Then the center gets close to the Chinese coast weakens to a TS then turns NE and potentially heads towards Japan. This one is going to be on the board for a while.

Kong-Rey is now a typhoon. Updated track map is below.

https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/wp2324.gif

Typhoon Kong-Rey has a well defined eye on satellite and is a very strong typhoon. IT will nail Taiwan then brush the Chinese coast. It will then turn NE and potentially brush the S areas of Japan.

Wave 90W is also on the board with a low chance of development.

They eye of Kon-Rey will be moving into Taiwan today. Not much change to the current track.

Wave 90W has a medium chance of development.
