Tropical Storm Nakri moved away from Japan on Monday.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Nakri was located at latitude 34.3\u00b0N and longitude 149.1\u00b0E which put the center about 460 miles (740 km) east of Tokyo, Japan.\u00a0 Nakri was moving toward the east at 23 m.p.h. (37 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 70 m.p.h. (110 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 985 mb.<\/p>\n
Former Typhoon Nakri weakened back to a tropical storm on Monday as it quickly moved farther away from Japan.\u00a0 Nakri was still a very well organized tropical storm.\u00a0 The inner end of a rainband wrapped most of the way around the center of Nakri’s circulation.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms revolved around the center of Tropical Storm Nakri.\u00a0 Storms near the center of Nakri generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away to the east of the tropical storm.<\/p>\n
The distribution of winds speeds around Tropical Storm Nakri was fairly symmetrical.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 155 miles (250 km) from the center of Nakri’s circulation.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Nakri will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification of a tropical cyclone during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Nakri will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 25\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the southeastern part of an upper level trough that is over northern Japan.\u00a0 The upper level trough will produce westerly winds that will blow toward the top of Nakri\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Cooler Sea Surface Temperatures and strong vertical wind shear will cause Tropical Storm Nakri to weaken during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 The cooler Sea Surface Temperatures and strong vertical wind shear will also cause Nakri to make a transition to an extratropical cyclone.<\/p>\n
The upper level trough over northern Japan will steer Tropical Storm Nakri quickly toward the east during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Nakri will continue to move quickly away from Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
