Storms and Floods

Tropical Storms

In the Western Pacific:

The remnants of Usagi are still producing rain inland in China. The clouds extending northeast from ex-Usagi on the satellite image below represent moisture getting pulled up by an approaching cold front. That front will head east as Typhoon Pabuk moves north. The two will eventually combine; in the process the jet stream and steering flow aloft associated with the front are expected to keep the core of Pabuk just east of mainland Japan as it becomes non-tropical.

In the meantime, the typhoon is centered close to Iwo Jima (Iwo To), where winds have gusted as high as 87 mph and the pressure dropped to 28.45" (963 millibars).
