Even though the center of Typhoon Dolphin is still over 100 miles from Iwo To, it is bringing wind and heavy rain to that island.\u00a0 The most recent surface observation reported southeast winds at 43 m.p.h. with gusts to 66 m.p.h.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Typhoon Dolphin was located near latitude 24.6\u00b0 and longitude 139.7\u00b0E which put it about 140 miles west-southwest of Iwo To.\u00a0 Dolphin was moving toward the northeast at 10 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 85 m.p.h. and there were gusts to 105 m.p.h.\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 967 mb.<\/p>\n
Dolphin will continue to move over cooler Sea Surface Temperatures as it moves farther north.\u00a0 It will also encounter strong upper level westerly winds, which will increase vertical wind shear.\u00a0 So, Typhoon Dolphin will weaken steadily on Tuesday.\u00a0 It will eventually transition into an extratropical cyclone as it passes southeast of Japan.<\/p>\n
Upper level westerly winds are steering Typhoon Dolphin toward the northeast.\u00a0 It is expected to accelerate toward the northeast on Tuesday.\u00a0 On its anticipated track the center of Dolphin will pass northwest of Iwo To during the next few hours.\u00a0 It could pass very near Chichi Jima on Tuesday and bring strong wind and heavy rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
