Tropical Storm Jangmi brought wind and rain to Okinawa on Monday.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Jangmi was located at latitude 27.3\u00b0N and longitude 128.0\u00b0E which put the center about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Okinawa.\u00a0 Jangmi was moving toward the north at 13 m.p.h. (21 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 65 m.p.h. (105 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 85 m.p.h. (130 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 982 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Jangmi brought wind and rain to Okinawa on Monday.\u00a0 A weather station at Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa (RODN) reported a sustained wind speed of 52 m.p.h. (84 km\/h) and a wind gust of 71 m.p.h. (115 km\/h).<\/p>\n
Former Typhoon Jangmi weakened back to a tropical storm Monday.\u00a0 A large eye with a diameter of 60 miles (95 km) was still present at the center of Tropical Storm Jangmi.\u00a0 The eye was surrounded by a broken ring of thunderstorms and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storms.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Tropical Storm Jangmi was pulling drier air around the western and southern parts of Jangmi’s circulation.\u00a0 Thunderstorms were still occurring in bands in the eastern and northern parts of Tropical Storm Jangmi.\u00a0 Bands in the western and southern sides of Jangmi’s circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.<\/p>\n
Storms near the center of Jangmi generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away to the northeast of the tropical storm.\u00a0 However, the removal of mass in the upper levels of the atmosphere was less than the convergence of mass in the lower levels.\u00a0 So, the surface pressure increased gradually.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Tropical Storm Jangmi was still large.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 205 miles (330 km) from the center of Jangmi’s circulation.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Jangmi will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Jangmi will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 26\u00b0C. It will move under the eastern part of an upper level trough that is over the east coast of China.\u00a0 The upper level trough will produce southwesterly winds that will blow toward the top of Jangmi\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause the moderate vertical wind shear. Tropical Storm Jangmi will continue to weaken slowly during the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
The upper level trough over the east coast of China will steer Tropical Storm Jangmi toward the northeast during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, the center of Jangmi will move over the northern Ryukyu Islands.\u00a0 The center of Tropical Storm Jangmi will be southeast of Kyushu in 18 hours.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Jangmi will bring strong winds and locally heavy rain to the northern Ryukyu Islands.\u00a0 Heavy rain could cause flash floods in some locations. Jangmi will also bring strong winds and heavy rain to parts of Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
