Typhoon Atsani continued to grow bigger and stronger on Monday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Typhoon Atsani was located at latitude 16.3\u00b0N and longitude 155.8\u00b0E which put it about 1700 miles (2740 km) southeast of Tokyo, Japan.\u00a0 Atsani was moving west-northwest at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 130 m.p.h. (215 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 160 m.p.h. (260 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 937 mb.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Atsani has a very well organized circulation.\u00a0 It is very symmetrical with a well formed eye and eyewall and it has multiple rainbands spiraling around the center of circulation.\u00a0 Upper level divergence is pumping out mass in all directions, which is allowing the surface pressure to decrease.\u00a0 There is little vertical wind shear and Atsani is moving over warm Sea Surface Temperatures.\u00a0 Further intensification is likely, although eyewall replacement cycles could cause fluctuations in intensity.<\/p>\n
A subtropical ridge is steering Atsani toward the northwest and that general steering pattern is expected to continue for the next few days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Atsani will pass north of the Marianas and it could be east of Iwo To in three or four days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
