Typhoon Talim developed east of Taiwan on Monday.\u00a0 At 8:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Typhoon Talim was located at latitude 21.5\u00b0N and longitude 130.6\u00b0E which put it about 470 miles (760 km) east-southeast of Ishigaki, Japan.\u00a0 Talim was moving toward the west-northwest at 18 m.p.h. (30 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 75 m.p.h. (120 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 90 m.p.h. (145 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 978 mb.<\/p>\n
The core of the circulation of Typhoon Talim became more organized on Monday.\u00a0 A primary rainband wrapped most of the way around the center of circulation and an eyewall appeared to be forming.\u00a0 Additional bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the core of the circulation.\u00a0 Thunderstorms in the core of Talim were generating upper level divergence that was pumping mass away from the center of the typhoon.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Talim will move through an environment that will be favorable for intensification.\u00a0 Talim will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 An upper level ridge northeast of Talim is generating easterly winds which are blowing toward the top of the typhoon.\u00a0 Those winds are generating moderate wind shear.\u00a0 The wind shear will inhibit intensification, but they are not strong enough to prevent Typhoon Talim from getting stronger.<\/p>\n
A subtropical ridge north of Talim is steering the typhoon toward the west-northwest for several more days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Typhoon Talim could approach the southern Ryukyu Islands and northern Taiwan within 36 to 48 hours.\u00a0 Talim could be a stronger typhoon by the time it reaches that area.\u00a0 In two or three days Typhoon Talim will reach the western end of the subtropical ridge and the typhoon will turn toward the northeast.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the Western North Pacific Tropical Depression 21W formed east of the Philippines.\u00a0 At 8:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Depression 21W was located at latitude 14.6\u00b0N and longitude 121.9\u00b0E which put it about 100 miles (160 km) east of Manila, Philippines.\u00a0 It was moving toward the west at 12 m.p.h. (18 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 30 m.p.h. (50 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 40 m.p.h. (64 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1004 mb.\u00a0 The depression will bring locally heavy rain to parts of the northern Philippines and it could cause flash floods in some locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
