In Vietnam valt de komende uren nog veel regenquote:No tropical development is expected in the Atlantic Basin over the next day or two.
In the eastern Pacific, an area of low pressure contains some limited convection over 875 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The system may slowly develop but is no threat to land.
Tropical Storm Pabuk (65 mph), currently located several hundred miles ESE of Taiwan. The storm is moving toward the WNW and is forecast to intensify to typhoon strength before striking Taiwan late Tuesday (U. S. time). Heavy rain and strong winds are likely in Taiwan as Pabuk sweeps in. Flooding rain may be a major problem. After crossing the island, Pabuk should weaken to a tropical storm and punch into mainland China on Wednesay (U. S. time).
A weak tropical depression is producing heavy rain over northern Vietnam and Laos.
weinig wind, weet je zeker dat je niet in het oog zit?quote:Op dinsdag 7 augustus 2007 10:30 schreef SeLang het volgende:
Nou het stelt voorlopig niks voor die typhoon.
Hier (Taipei) alleen een beetje motregen en nauwelijks wind.
Ik has net zo goed kunnen gaan fietsen.

Dat heb ik serieus een keer meegemaakt een paar jaar geleden. Dat was echt weird; eerst waait het heel hard de ene kant op, dan is het een uurtje ofzo bijna windstil en daarna waait het keihard de andere kant op.quote:Op dinsdag 7 augustus 2007 10:37 schreef Againzender het volgende:

kreeg idd weer een waarschuwingsmailtje van TSR, maar dit is een "kleintje" en volgens verwachtingen blijft het een tropische storm. Maar deze gaat wel recht over Taiwan. We zien welquote:Op woensdag 8 augustus 2007 07:21 schreef SeLang het volgende:

Het is nog vroeg, maar Tropische Storm Sepat voorspellingen wijzen dat het een grote gaat worden. Voorlopig zal deze groeien tot een cat3 storm, ruim voordat Taiwan wordt bereikt. Voorspelling gaat niet verder in de toekomst, maar meeste typhoons groeien naar mate ze dichter bij land komen. Maar het is nog zeer vroeg, de storm zal Taiwan op zn vroegst over 5 dagen bereiken.quote:
quote:Flossie A Strong Category 3 Storm
By AccuWeather.com Meteorologists Rob Miller and Alex Sosnowski Hurricane Flossie has weakened slightly to a Category 3 storm, with sustained winds of 125 mph . As of 11 a.m. HST Monday, the storm was around 425 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Hurricane Flossie was located near 15.3 north and 150.6 west and was moving to the west-northwest at 15 mph. The pressure of Flossie is 956 mb or 28.23 inches of mercury. Flossie is a relatively small storm with hurricane-force winds extending about 40 miles from the center and tropical storm-force winds extending 100 miles from the center. Flossie will likely slowly weaken during the balance of Monday and Tuesdayas it starts to encounter some cooler waters as it nears the Hawaiian Islands. The track of the storm has Flossie passing just south of the the Islands late Monday night into Tuesday. This will potentially bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the eastern and southern parts of the islands, as well as very rough surf. All interests in Hawaii should keep an eye on this storm as it continues to near the state. Elsewhere in the eastern Pacific Basin, a tropical wave is found near 98 west, mostly south of 17 north. This wave is moving westward at 15 knots. Another wave at 90 west is also moving westward at 15 knots. Satellite images Monday morning show several clusters of strong thunderstorms near these waves, but they remain disorganized at this time. Another tropical wave is found near 107 west and has an embedded 1012 mb (29.88 inches of mercury) low within this wave. This feature is moving west at 10-15 knots. While low pressure is present, this feature remains disorganized at this time. A final wave is found along 129 west, moving westward at 15 knots. Little to no convection is found with this wave.

NHC UPGRADES TD#4 TO TS DEAN
Just a quick note to update the fact that TD 4 is now TS Dean. The NHC made the upgrade just a little while ago. Forecast shows Dean becoming a strong hurricane as it passes through the NE Caribbean Sea in about five days. I have updated the tracking maps and will have a full update here later this afternoon, around 5pm ET.
UPDATED: 8:50 am EDT, August 14, 2007
GULF, ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC VERY ACTIVE THIS WEEK
There is now plenty of activity from the central Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico and out in to the east Atlantic. The quiet hurricane season we were enjoying has come to an abrupt end and this is really just the start.
Hurricane Flossie is weakening as it approaches Hawaii but the one time category four hurriane will still bring squally weather and rough seas. The forecast keeps Flossie just south of the string of islands so we don't expect too much of an impact. It could certainly be worse and we saw that back in 1992 when powerful hurricane Iniki lashed portions of the islands. This time around, it is just a close call and that is good news for anyone who lives in or is planning a trip to Hawaii.
Next up is our developing tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico. Upper level winds are more favorable and it is quite possible that the NHC will upgrade the system to a depression later today. Most computer models develop this in to a tropical storm and move it towards Mexico and Texas. The biggest threat will be heavy rains but if it intensifies quickly enough, there could also be some wind and surge issues as well. The NHC is sending a Hurricane Hunter plane in to the area later today, if conditions continue to warrant, and we will know a lot more at that point.
Out in the east Atlantic is TD #4. It is holding its own and is in no hurry to strengthen right away. It is in a hurry in a literal sense though. The depression is moving very quickly towards the west at over 20 mph. The NHC forecasts the depression to become a tropical storm and then a hurricane as it nears the northern Leeward Islands. This could be quite an interesting situation for folks in the northeast Caribbean Sea as some computer models show the (at that point) hurricane passing through the islands while others miss to the north. It looks like what ever scenario that plays out will do so within about five days- so there is still time to just wait and see what happens. Beyond five days, we get little solid evidence of what the system will do. The key will be, as always, how strong the cyclone is and what the steering currents are like to its north. There is no need to even try to speculate this early as to where this might end up. We have a long, long time to watch and track its progress, which gives a great advantage of allowing us to be prepared, if need be. The rest of the tropics are mostly quiet but we are now in a period when we will likely see a new named storm on a regular basis somewhere in the Atlantic Basin. I will post another update here early this afternoon and again this evening.
