Typhoon Maysak brought wind and rain to South Korea on Wednesday.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Typhoon Maysak was located at latitude 36.9\u00b0N and longitude 128.9\u00b0E which put it about 30 miles (50 km) north-northwest of Busan, South Korea.\u00a0 Maysak was moving toward the north-northeast at 30 m.p.h. (50 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 105 m.p.h. (165 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 950 mb.<\/p>\n
The center of Typhoon Maysak made landfall on the south coast of South Korea west of Busan on Wednesday.\u00a0 The large circulation around Maysak brought gusty winds and heavy rain to much of the Korean Peninsula.\u00a0 Winds to typhoon force extended out 60 miles (95 km) from the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 200 miles (320 km) from the center.\u00a0 The heavy rain was falling on ground that was saturated by previous tropical cyclones and other weather systems.\u00a0 The rain will likely cause widespread flash flooding.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Maysak was being steered quickly toward the north by an upper level trough over eastern Asia.\u00a0 On its anticipated track the center of Maysak will move along the east coast of the Korean Peninsula.\u00a0 Typhoon Maysak will weaken and it will made a transition to an extratropical cyclone during the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere over the Western North Pacific Ocean, Typhoon Haishen strengthened south of Iwo To.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Typhoon Haishen was located at latitude 20.3\u00b0N and longitude 138.8\u00b0E which put it about 350 miles (560 km) south-southwest of Iwo To.\u00a0 Haishen was moving toward the west-northwest at 13 m.p.h. (20 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 105 m.p.h. (165 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 979 mb.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Haishen will move through an environment favorable for intensification during the next 36 to 48 hours.\u00a0 Haishen 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 Haishen will continue to intensify and it is likely to strengthen into the equivalent of a major hurricane.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Haishen will move around the western end of a subtropical high pressure system over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high will steer Haishen toward the northwest during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Typhoon Haishen could approach the northern Ryukyu Islands in about 72 hours.\u00a0 Haishen could eventually bring wind and rain to the same areas in Kyushu and South Korea affected by Typhoon Maysak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
