Tropical Storm Jelawat weakened rapidly over the Northern Marianas on Saturday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Tropical Storm Jelawat was located at latitude 19.3\u00b0N and longitude 145.5\u00b0E which put it about 50 miles (80 km) north-northwest of Agrihan.\u00a0 Jelawat was moving toward the east-northeast at 14 m.p.h. (22 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 60 m.p.h. (95 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 993 mb.<\/p>\n
Former Typhoon Jelawat moved into an area where there were upper level westerly winds blowing at 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 Those strong upper level winds created enough vertical wind shear to blow the upper two thirds of the circulation east of the lower part of the circulation.\u00a0 The remaining strong thunderstorms were weakening well to the east of the lower level circulation.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Jelawat consisted primarily of narrow bands of showers and low clouds that were revolving around the center of circulation.\u00a0 Jelawat may bring brief gusty winds and showers to the northernmost islands in the Marianas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
