Typhoon Bavi passed east of Shanghai on Tuesday.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Typhoon Bavi was located at latitude 31.9\u00b0N and longitude 124.7\u00b0E which put it about 200 miles (320 km) east-northeast of Shanghai, China.\u00a0 Bavi was moving toward the north-northwest at 9 m.p.h. (15 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 110 m.p.h. (175 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 130 m.p.h. (210 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 958 mb.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Typhoon Bavi was well organized on Tuesday.\u00a0 A circular eye with a diameter of 18 miles (30 km) was at the center of Bavi.\u00a0 A ring of strong thunderstorms surrounded the eye and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storms.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the core of Typhoon Bavi.\u00a0 Storm near the core generated upper level divergence which pumped mass away to the north of the typhoon.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Typhoon Bavi was moderately large.\u00a0 Winds to typhoon force extended out 40 miles (65 km) from the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 150 miles (240 km) from the center.\u00a0 The Hurricane Intensity Index (HII) for Bavi was 19.2.\u00a0 The Hurricane Size Index (HSI) was 16.0 and the Hurricane Wind Intensity Size Index (HWISI) was 35.2.\u00a0 Typhoon Bavi was capable of causing regional serious damage.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Bavi will move through an environment favorable for intensification during the next 12 hours.\u00a0 Bavi will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move through a region where the upper level winds are weak and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Typhoon Bavi could strengthen into the equivalent of a major hurricane during the next 12 hours.\u00a0 In 12 hours Bavi will start to move over cooler water, which could end the chance for intensification.\u00a0 In 24 hours Typhoon Bavi will approach the eastern part of an upper level trough over China.\u00a0 The trough will produce strong southwesterly winds which will cause strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The strong shear will cause Bavi to weaken more quickly.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Bavi will move around the western end of a subtropical high pressure system over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high will steer Bavi toward the north during the next 36 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Typhoon Bavi could approach the west coast of North Korea in about 24 hours.\u00a0 Bavi will bring strong winds and locally heavy rain to North Korea and parts of northeastern China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
