The Tropical Pacific has been unusually quiet over the past…well, several months. The western Pacific has tropical systems form and roll generally throughout the year, but they hadn’t had a tropical system since December. That is anomalously rare. #Himawari rapid scan view of Tropical Storm #Nepartak, 1st TS in the NW Pacific since December pic.twitter.com/KUZriJQrUC […]

Typhoon Champi
A Category 3 typhoon in the western Pacific ocean has an eye that is 70 miles wide, and it is absolutely incredible looking! A hurricane researcher at Colorado State University said that anything under the eye would have 7-8 hours of calm weather before getting hit by the eyewall. Check out all the awesome pictures […]
Typhoon GIF Will Rock Your Socks Off
Yeah, yeah. I know that I said that that tornado the other day was probably the coolest weather entity I’d ever seen. Well, I lied. I have never seen anything like this. The tropical pacific has been almost ridiculously active recently, with 3 Super Typhoons forming by the end of May. But now, we have a […]
Meteorological Bomb in the North Pacific
Meteorological Bomb North Pacific – Typhoon Nuri could become the strongest extratropical storm on record for the North Pacific as it explodes into a meteorological “bomb” over the next few days. According to NOAA, a meteorological bomb (bomb cyclone) is “an extratropical area of low pressure in which the central pressure drops at least 24 […]
Arctic Blast on the Way?
Arctic air looks to be moving into the region next week. We could be seeing temperatures up to 25 degrees below normal for this time of year. If you don’t like winter, you may want to head south…to Brazil. Brad Panovich posted a blog that details the possible Arctic blast. One of the many reasons […]
Typhoon Vongfong Approaching Japan
Less than a week after Typhoon Phanfone impacted Japan, Typhoon Vongfong is headed towards Okinawa. What was the strongest storm on Earth since last year (The Weather Channel) is now weakening as it tracks north to Japan. Vongfong is currently equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane, as it possesses maximum sustained winds of 125 mph. […]
Update on Typhoon Phanfone
As Typhoon Phanfone continues to slam Japan with high winds and heavy rainfall, one U.S. airman has been found dead, and two more are still missing. These airmen were washed out to sea due to high waves off the coast of Okinawa. The Japan Meteorological Agency reported 110 mph sustained winds in Phanfone yesterday; while these […]
Pacific Ocean Tropics Update
The Pacific Ocean tropics are lighting up with tropical disturbances. There is now a line, or train, of tropical disturbances stretching across the Pacific Ocean. It’s quite an incredible sight as conditions are favorable for development for some of these to become typhoons and tropical storms. The GFS model illustrates these tropical waves very well […]
