Tropical Storm Jongdari made landfall south of Shanghai on Thursday, while Tropical Storm Shanshan formed northeast of Guam.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Tropical Storm Jongdari was located at latitude 30.7\u00b0N and longitude 121.4\u00b0E which put it about 40 miles (65 km) south of Shanghai, China.\u00a0 Jongdari was moving toward the west at 19 m.p.h. (30 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 994 mb.<\/p>\n
The center of Tropical Storm Jongdari made landfall on the east coast of China near Zhoushan and Ningbo on Thursday.\u00a0 Jongdari retained a distinct low level center of circulation while it made landfall.\u00a0 The tropical storm brought gusty winds to the coast of Zhejiang and Shanghai Shi provinces.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Jongdari dropped locally heavy rain over parts of those provinces and some flooding could occur.\u00a0 The center of Jongdari will move quickly toward Hangzhou and the risk of flooding will continue as the tropical storm moves inland and weakens.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere over the Western North Pacific Ocean, Tropical Storm Shanshan formed northeast of Guam.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Tropical Storm Shanshan was located at latitude 17.9\u00b0N and longitude 150.1\u00b0E which put it about 460 miles (740 km) northeast of Guam.\u00a0 Shanshan was moving toward the west-southwest 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. (65 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 998 mb.<\/p>\n
A distinct low level center of circulation formed in a cluster of thunderstorms east of the Northern Marianas on Thursday and the Japan Meteorological Agency designated the system as Tropical Storm Shanshan.\u00a0 The circulation of Shanshan was still organizing.\u00a0 Several bands of showers and thunderstorms developed southwest of the center of circulation.\u00a0 Bands northeast of the center consisted mostly of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Storms near the center of circulation started to generate upper level divergence.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Shanshan will move through an environment favorable for intensification.\u00a0 Shanshan will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 28\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move through a region where the upper level winds are weak and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Shanshan will intensify and it could strengthen into a typhoon during the weekend.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Shashan will move around the western end of a subtropical high pressure system.\u00a0 The high will steer Shanshan in a general northwesterly direction during the next 12 to 24 hours.\u00a0 It will turn more toward the north during the weekend.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Shanshan will move near the Northern Marianas during the next 24 to 36 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
