Typhoon Muifa is nearly halted at sea near eastern Luzon Island,
Philippines. Late Wednesday afternoon, EST, Muifa is about 190 miles
east-northeast of Manila, and 105 miles north-northeast of Daet,
Luzon. Muifa is drifting sluggishly northward at only 2 mph. Highest
sustained winds have risen to 105 mph. Muifa is forecast to loiter in
its present vicinity for the next 24 hours or so, and then to head
southwestward across the northern Philippine archipelago on Friday;
ultimately, a return to open waters over the South China Sea is
foreseen. Muifa holds further threat of excessive, flooding rains
given its slow movement and the rugged setting of the islands it may
cross; damaging winds are a serious threat as well.
As of Wednesday afternoon, local time, rainfall stemming from
Muifa was about 15 inches at Virac, Catanduanes Island. At the
Catanduanes radar site, rainfall topped 18 inches. Essentially, this
rainfall was collected within 48 to 60 hours.
Throughout Tuesday and well into Tuesday night, a blizzard raked

chill dipped 20 to 30 degrees below zero.
A nasty storm hit Gander, Newfoundland, Tuesday into Tuesday
night. The storm began as heavy, wind-whipped snow, but snow later

inches; snow and rain held water equivalent of 2.0 inches.
Hue, Vietnam, was soaked with 8.9 inches of rain Tuesday through
Wednesday.
