Tropical Storm Nuri meandered north of Yap on Wednesday.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Tropical Storm Nuri was located at latitude 11.0\u00b0N and longitude 138.8\u00b0E which put the center about 105 miles (165 km) north-northeast of Yap.\u00a0 Nuri was moving toward the east-northeast at 7 m.p.h. (11 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Nuri struggled in a hostile environment on Wednesday.\u00a0 An upper level ridge that was southeast of the Marianas produced strong southwesterly winds that blew across the top of Nuri’s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds caused strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Those winds also blew the tops off of thunderstorms near the center of Nuri’s circulation.\u00a0 A few thunderstorms were still occurring in bands in the eastern periphery of Tropical Storm Nuri.\u00a0 Bands in the other parts of Nuri’s circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Nuri will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Nuri will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 29\u00b0C.\u00a0\u00a0 However, the upper level ridge that is southeast of the Marianas will continue to produce strong southwesterly winds that will blow across the top of Nuri\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 In addition, Tropical Storm Nuri will be just to the south of a large area of drier air that originated over eastern Asia. The combination of strong vertical wind shear and drier air will cause Tropical Storm Nuri to weaken during the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Nuri will move around the western part of a high pressure system that is south of the Marianas.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Nuri toward the east-northeast during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Nuri will move toward the Marianas as it weakens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
