Former Tropical Storm Trami strengthened into a typhoon on Saturday night.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Typhoon Trami was located at latitude 17.0\u00b0N and longitude 134.6\u00b0E which put it about 810 miles (1310 km) southeast of Okinawa.\u00a0 Trami was moving toward the west at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 105 m.p.h. (170 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 965 mb.<\/p>\n
The circulation of Typhoon Trami became more circular and symmetrical on Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0 An inner band of thunderstorms wrapped most of the way around the center of circulation and eye was developing at the center of Trami.\u00a0 Several bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the core of Typhoon Trami.\u00a0 Storms near the core were generating upper level divergence which was pumping mass away from the typhoon in all directions.\u00a0 Winds to typhoon force extended out about 35 miles (55 km) from the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out about 200 miles (320 km) from the center.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Trami will move through an environment favorable for intensification during the next several days.\u00a0 Trami will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 it will move through a region where the upper level winds are weak and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Typhoon Trami could intensify into the equivalent of a major hurricane during the next day or two.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Trami will move south of a subtropical ridge over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The ridge will steer Trami toward the west-northwest during the next few days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Typhoon Trami could be east of Taiwan and southeast of the Ryukyu Islands in four or five days.\u00a0 It could be a powerful typhoon at that time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
