World Weather Summary
Updated: August 24, 2005 11:55 a.m.
Typhoon Mawar is bearing down upon southern Japan from the
Philippine Sea. Late Wednesday morning, Mawar is centered 350 miles to
the south-southwest of Tokyo where it holds highest sustained winds of
120 mph; it is moving northward at 12 mph. Mawar is forecast to remain
a formidable storm through its landfall in southern Honshu Island
Thursday morning. On its projected path, the storm's core would come
ashore to the southwest of Tokyo. Damaging winds and flooding rain
will spread over a large part of the country beginning Wednesday
evening.
Tropical Storm Guchol is spinning over the western North Pacific
Ocean, but it is no threat to land. As of late Wednesday morning, EDT,
Guchol wields top sustained winds near 65 mph. Centered 925 miles to
the east-northeast of Tokyo, Japan, the storm is moving northwestward
at 23 mph. Guchol is forecast to weaken and to transform into an
extra-tropical cyclone on a northeastward bearing that would keep it
over open seas for at least the next 2-3 days.
Hurricane Hilary continues to churn the waters of the eastern
North Pacific Ocean. As of late Wednesday morning, EDT, Hilary holds
top sustained winds of 75 mph about a center which is 545 miles to the
west of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; the storm is moving west-northwestward
at 10 mph. Hilary is forecast to turn westward during the next 2-3
days and to weaken as it moves over cooler, wide-open seas.
