Hurricane Lane’s cloud top temperatures were colder than that, meaning that the storm has a potential to drop even heavier rainfall. 2018 … In both of those areas, cloud top temperatures were as cold as minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius). Infrared data on Aug. 28 showed only small, scattered and short-lived puffs of deep convection in the northern semicircle. Tropical Activity on Record Pace in Northeast Pacific. At that time the center of Jebi was located near latitude 38.9 degrees north and longitude 137.7 degrees east. NASA research has found that cloud top temperatures that cold have the capability to generate heavy rainfall. Lane is now Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some short-term weakening is forecast, and Lane is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low by Tuesday. NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP analyzed Hurricane Norman in the Central Pacific Ocean as it was rapidly intensifying into a major hurricane. Norman was moving toward the west near 8 mph (13 kph), and this motion is expected to continue today. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Jebi was centered near 17.4 degrees north latitude and 150.5 degrees east longitude. Tropical Depression 25W is moving toward the north-northwest at 10 mph. Stronger thunderstorms circled Norman’s center in a thicker ring on Sept. 6 when NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the hurricane. Credit: NASA/NRL. Norman is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season was an event in the annual hurricane season in the north Atlantic Ocean.It as an above-average season for tropical cyclones for the third consecutive year. There are no watches or warnings in effect. GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA. GPM analyzed Typhoon Jebi as it was making its way toward Japan. Jebi is forecast to move west and stay well north of Guam then curve to the west of Iwo To and head north toward Japan. Ryan 1000 12:51, August 6, 2018 (UTC) Wind shear has declined quite a bit in the basin. Lane is forecast to become a remnant low pressure area later in the day. The Terra spacecraft is managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. MODIS saw coldest cloud top temperatures were as cold as minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius) in three areas around the center of circulation. We are now in the prime time period for tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, yet all is quiet. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, For earlier information on Lane go to: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/lane/, Aug. 24, 2018 – NASA Tracks Tropical Storm Soulik into the Sea of Japan. Norman is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season was a Slightly Below Average to near normal hurricane season, primarily caused by Moderate El-Nino Conditions, this season spawned 12 Depressions, 10 Named Storms, 5 hurricanes and 1 Major.. Lane is moving toward the north-northwest near 3 mph (6 kph), and this general motion is expected to continue through this morning. Yeah, we may have had two hurricanes in July in the Atlantic but the basin hasn't had much since and isn't expected to anytime soon; the AOI near the Azores right now isn't expected to develop, let alone affect land. Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph (195 kph) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is possible during the next day or two, but Miriam is expected to begin weakening by Friday. Although the official forecast does not explicitly indicate Lane’s center making landfall over any of the islands, this remains a very real possibility. However, wind shear kicked back up and by 11 p.m. EDT that day, Lane had again weakened back to tropical depression status. The University of Wisconsin- Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies or UW-CIMSS diagnosed vertical wind shear of over 69 mph (60 knots/111 kph) were affecting Tropical Depression Lane. Weakening is expected over the next couple of days. The higher the cloud tops, the colder and the stronger they are. Although there are no coastal warnings or watches in effect, NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center noted “Interests in the main Hawaiian Islands should monitor the progress of Norman over the next couple of days.”. Some additional intensification is expected today, followed by fairly rapid weakening Friday through Saturday night, Sept. 1. At 5 a.m. EDT (2 a.m. PDT/0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Miriam was located near latitude 14.0 degrees north and longitude 133.5 degrees west. The orange and red areas, away from the storm, have almost no clouds, and the ocean shines through. 4) July 31 st –13 th: 155 mph : 936 mb: N/A: Tropical Storm Ileana : August 4 th –7 th: 65 mph : 998 mb: N/A: Hurricane John (Cat. The slow movement of Lane also greatly increases the threat for prolonged heavy rainfall and extreme rainfall totals. The higher the cloud tops, the colder and the stronger they are. This westward motion is forecast to continue through Sunday. That happens when a new eyewall or ring of thunderstorms within the outer rain bands forms further out from the storm’s center, outside of the original eye wall. NASA’s Aqua satellite flew over Tropical Storm Soulik after it moved into the Sea of Japan and saw that wind shear was adversely affecting the storm. This is expected to lead to major, life-threatening flash flooding and landslides over all Hawaiian Islands. On the forecast track, the center of Lane will move very close to or over the main Hawaiian Islands later today through Friday (Aug. 24).”. Credits: NASA/NRL. The tropical storm was about 185 nautical miles west-southwest of Misawa, Japan. Gradual weakening is anticipated to begin by Friday night or Saturday, however, Norman is expected to remain a very powerful hurricane during the next few days. NASA’s Aqua satellite observed Cimaron in infrared light that revealed cloud top temperatures on Aug. 24 at 12:40 a.m. EDT (4:40 UTC) were coldest (yellow) and as cold as minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 45.5 degrees Celsius) in west central Japan. That’s about 590 miles east of Alamagan and 600 miles east of Pagan. 00:48. This should become Kristy as it tracks west even if it's taking its sweet time now. At the time of the Aqua satellite overpass, Miriam’s cloud pattern and overall convective organization had improved from earlier in the day. Jebi’s center crossed near Kyoto before it emerged into the Sea of Japan where it is getting caught up in the mid-latitude westerly jet stream. At 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC), the center of newly formed Tropical Depression Sixteen-E was located near latitude 17.1 degrees north and longitude 111.8 degrees west. By Rob Gutro However, NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center or CPHC said that interests in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands should continue to monitor the progress of Lane. The List of Florida hurricanes encompasses approximately 500 tropical or subtropical cyclones that affected the state of Florida.More storms hit Florida than any other U.S. state, and since 1851 only eighteen hurricane seasons passed without a known storm impacting the state. NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM satellite measured rainfall rates at 12:46 a.m. EDT (0446 UTC) and found the southwestern tip of the Island of Hawaii and the west coast were receiving rainfall at a rate over 1.2 inches per hour. However, the early part of the season was unusually inactive, so most measures of seasonal activity remain in the bottom third of the last 40 years. Tropical cyclones continue to regularly develop in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Tropical Depression Fifteen-E (TD15E) formed in the eastern Pacific Ocean about 1,000 nautical miles (1852 km) southwest of the Baja California peninsula early on Sunday Aug. 26, 2018. At 6 a.m. EDT (2 a.m. HST/1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lane was located near latitude 19.5 degrees north and longitude 158.4 degrees west. Those winds are ripping away the cloud tops of strong storms near the low-level center and pushing them to the northeast. That’s about 520 miles (835 km) west-southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. NASA’s Terra satellite passed over Jebi on Aug. 28 at 7:55 a.m. EDT (1155 UTC) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument gathered water vapor content and temperature information. Norman is forecast to continue to move toward the northwest on Friday and Saturday, and along the forecast track, the center of Norman is expected to pass 200 to 300 miles to the northeast of the main Hawaiian Islands. It is expected to make a turn toward the northwest with little change in forward speed during the next 24 hours. Norman was moving toward the west near 10 mph (17 kph). Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center. Bottom line is 2004 is the only year in recorded weather history when hurricanes hit Orlando in August. When NASA’s Terra satellite analyzed water vapor within Tropical Storm Jebi in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean on Aug. 28 found the storm had taken on the classic comma-shape of an organized storm. Nevertheless, Jebi was the strongest typhoon to make landfall in Japan in 25 years when it came ashore over the eastern end of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan’s four main islands, Tuesday, September 4th around noon (local time), where winds gusts of up to 129 mph were reported. NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over Norman on Aug. 30 at 5:29 a.m. EDT (0929 UTC). GPM is a joint satellite mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA. The Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM core observatory satellite passed above on August 28, 2018 at 2:16 p.m. EDT (1816 UTC) when Jebi was still a tropical storm. Mature, intense tropical cyclones can and often undergo an eyewall replacement cycle. Japan has been afflicted by several tropical cyclones and other extreme weather this summer. Temperature is important when trying to understand how strong storms can be. The higher the cloud tops, the colder and the stronger they are. Water vapor releases latent heat as it condenses into liquid. CPHC said, “Hurricane Lane is beginning to show some signs of slow weakening due to wind shear of over 20 knots from the southwest according to the SHIPS and UW-CIMSS analyses. For updated forecasts, visit the National Hurricane Center website: www.nhc.noaa.gov. The area of stronger storms in Hurricane Norman have expanded over the last several day in infrared NASA imagery as the storm intensified. Norman is moving toward the west near 17 mph (28 kph). Lane is forecast to move to the north-northwest. When NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over Tropical Storm Jebi on Sept. 4 at 12:17 a.m. EDT (417 UTC) it had made landfall in southeastern Japan. The second smaller area was located over east central Japan. Storms with cloud top temperatures that cold have the capability to produce heavy rainfall. Cloud top temperatures that cold indicate strong storms that have the capability to create heavy rain. Infrared satellite imagery shows scientists where the coldest cloud tops are located in a tropical cyclone and can give a clear picture of wind shear’s effects. Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 kph) with higher gusts. Miriam is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low pressure area on Sunday, Sept. 2. NASA research has shown that storms with cloud top temperatures that cold (that are very high in the troposphere) have the capability to generate heavy rain. NOAA’s CPHC said, “Lane is moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 kph). The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (the Global Precipitation Measurement mission) or IMERG is used to estimate precipitation from a combination of passive microwave sensors, including GPM’s GMI microwave sensor and geostationary IR (infrared) data. The infrared imagery showed that those strong storms were not reaching the Hawaiian Islands. Norman is moving toward the west-northwest near 8 mph. NASA’s Aqua and GPM satellites provided a look at the location of Lane and the rainfall rates. Temperature is important when trying to understand how strong storms can be. NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center or CPHC said a westward motion with a decrease in forward speed is expected to continue through tonight, followed by a turn to the west-northwest on Wednesday, Sept. 5 and to the northwest on Wednesday night. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The number of named storms ranked as a tie for the tenth most on record. Lingering moisture associated with Lane will produce heavy rainfall over portions of the main Hawaiian Islands today, Aug. 26, which could lead to additional flash flooding and landslides. The storm had crossed central Japan and was emerging into the Sea of Japan. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 kph) with higher gusts. On Aug. 29, microwave data showed the low-level center still slightly displaced from the deep convection due to about … Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 kph) with higher gusts. It was centered near 40.8 degrees north latitude and 137.7 degrees east longitude, about 161 miles west of Misawa, Japan. Hurricane Lane was a long-live tropical cyclone that tracked from the East Pacific basin into the Central Pacific basin between August 15th and 29th. August 2018: Hurricane Hector passed about 200 miles (320 km) south of the Island of Hawaiʻi as a Category 3 hurricane, generating 20 foot high surf along the southern side of the island. That’s about 630 miles (1,015 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico. On Aug. 28, NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center or CPHC noted that there were no coastal watches or warnings in effect. The eye was covered by clouds which made the center difficult to locate. NASA’s Aqua satellite saw the sixteenth tropical depression of the Eastern Pacific Ocean come together on Aug. 28. The GPM satellite’s Microwave Imager (GMI) and Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) instruments collected data in a swath that was centered west of tropical storm Jebi’s center of circulation. On Aug. 26 at 0223 UTC (Aug. 25 at 10:23 p.m. EDT) the GPM core observatory satellite revealed that extremely heavy rainfall was occurring within the organizing storm. The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder or AIRS instrument analyzed the storm in infrared light which provides temperature information. The image showed the bulk of clouds were being pushed north of the low level center, as the southern quadrant was almost devoid of clouds, except for a small ring around the center. Miriam is moving toward the north near 10 mph (17 kph). A fairly steady westward or west-southwestward motion is expected during the next several days. Lane may strengthen as an extratropical low as it passes over portions of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands from Tuesday night through Thursday, Aug. 30. A decrease in forward speed is expected tonight as Lane makes a turn toward the northwest. At 11 a.m. EDT (5 a.m. HST/1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lane was located near latitude 18.7 degrees north and longitude 158.0 degrees west. When NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over Hurricane Miriam, it was moving to the northwest and was no threat to land areas in the Central Pacific Ocean. Eventually, if the cycle is completed, the original eye wall of thunderstorms dissipates and the new outer eye wall of thunderstorms contracts and replace the old eye wall. It was located about 420 miles (675 km) south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico. Norman is moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 kph), and this general motion is expected to continue through this morning. Norman is moving toward the west-southwest near 8 mph (13 kph). Lane is then expected to accelerate northwestward by Tuesday as it transitions to an extratropical low. NASA’s Aqua satellite obtained a visible image of Hurricane Norman northeast of the Hawaiian Islands and found the storm weakening and battling wind shear. On Aug. 30 at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC), the eye of Typhoon Jebi was located near latitude 17.8 degrees north and longitude 146.2 degrees west. Coldest cloud tops were near minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius). That’s about 1,480 miles (2,380 km) east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center noted “While the structure continues to improve, winds will lag slightly as the primary circulation catches up to the secondary circulation represented by convection. Localized storm total amounts well in excess of 40 inches have already been observed along the windward side of the Big Island.”. NOAAs National Hurricane Center said “Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 kph) with higher gusts. For updated forecasts from the CPHC, visit: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc. Lane is expected to remain a hurricane as it approaches the islands.”, By Rob Gutro For local effects in the CNMI, visit: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=PQ1&product=HLS&site=nws&format=txt, For updated forecasts from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/guam/cyclone.php. After initially moving northwest, Jebi took a more westward track and continued to steadily intensify as it approached the Northern Mariana Islands, becoming a typhoon on the 29th, a Category 3 typhoon on the 30th, and finally a super typhoon on the 31st of August (local time) just after it passed between the islands of Pagan and Alamagan in the Northern Marianas. Credit: NASA/JAXA, Hal Pierce. On Aug. 26, there were no coastal watches or warnings in effect. At 5 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC) on Aug. 29, the center of Tropical Storm Miriam was located near latitude 14.2 degrees north and longitude 138.4 degrees west. The image provided a full picture of the depression and showed light rain was falling over the Hawaiian Islands on Aug. 26 at 1516 UTC (11: 16 a.m. EDT). The Season collectively caused $19.6 billion in damage … Infrared satellite data at 7:25 a.m. EDT (1125 UTC) on Sept. 4, from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite showed coldest cloud top temperatures in Norman were around the eye and southwest of the eye. NASA’s Aqua satellite passed Tropical Storm Miriam on Aug. 27 at 6:35 a.m. EDT (1035 UTC). That powerful band of thunderstorms showed coldest cloud tops had temperatures near minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius). NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. As is often the case, the wind shear associated with the change in direction helped to weaken Jebi as it approached the southern part of Japan. The storm continued to weaken as it moved just to the southwest of Hawaii and at its closest point to Honolulu (110 miles), the storm was a Category 1 hurricane. That’s 290 miles (470 km) northeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 126.6 mph (110 knots/203.7 kph) with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is forecast during the next 12 to 24 hours. Super Typhoon Jebi began as an area of low pressure that formed in the vicinity of Enewetak Atoll in the far western Marshall Islands. Bottom line is 2004 is the only year in recorded weather history when hurricanes hit Orlando in August. The storm also drove a tanker into the bridge connecting the airport to the mainland stranding many passengers. That’s about 161 nautical miles north-northeast of Saipan. Lane is a powerful category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. By Aug. 25, Hurricane Lane had weakened to a tropical storm. AIRS saw coldest cloud top temperatures being pushed away from the center by strong vertical wind shear. By Rob Gutro More information about MISR is available at these sites: https://www-misr.jpl.nasa.gov/, https://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/project/misr/misr_table, More information about AIRS is at: https://airs.jpl.nasa.gov/, Esprit Smith Just so you know, hurricanes hit Orlando in 2017, 2004, and 1960. On Aug. 30 at 11 a.m. EDT (5 a.m. HST/1500 UTC) NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center or CPHC noted the center of Hurricane Miriam was located near latitude 15.3 degrees north and longitude 141.6 degrees west. Storms with cloud top temperatures that cold have the capability to produce heavy rainfall. Purple shows very cold clouds high in the atmosphere above the center of the hurricane, while blue and green show the warmer temperatures of lower clouds surrounding the storm center. Much of the band of rain oriented east-west across central Japan was due to a frontal system that brought rain to the area before Jebi made landfall. GPM found heavy rainfall occurring in a band of thunderstorms wrapping into the low-level center from the western quadrant where rain was falling at a rate of over 10 inches (263.3 mm/hour). The most powerful convective storms scanned by the satellite’s radar were found in an intense feeder band of thunderstorms south of Jebi’s center of circulation. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. On Tuesday, August 28, 2018, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted that Miriam’s cloud pattern had still not improved very much from Aug. 27. Just so you know, hurricanes hit Orlando in 2017, 2004, and 1960. GPM’s radar measured rain falling at over 190 mm (7.5 inches) per hour in one powerful storm. The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season was the 4th most active season of the 2010s decade, and perhaps Sixth most active overall, spawning 17 Depressions, 15 Storms, 10 hurricanes and a near record 6 Major.The season started with Tropical Storm Alberto forming 2 Days after the official start of the season.Hurricane Beryl became the first Major hurricane of the season in Late-July, whilst co-existing with Hurricane ChrisGordo… In the Aug. 22 image, a prominent eye is also visible. For updated forecasts, visit the Central Pacific Hurricane Center website: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/. NASA found heavy rainfall occurring in Tropical Storm Miriam as it continued moving through the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Jebi contributed much of the rainfall over Shikoku and most of the rainfall over the south central coastal regions of Honshu where it made landfall before adding to the rainfall amounts across central Honshu. Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Cimaron was moving northeast and has become extra-tropical and asymmetric. For updated forecasts, visit: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc. Since the AIRS overpass, however, cloud tops have been warming in the southeast. A Typhoon Watch means destructive winds of 74 mph or more are possible within the next 48 hours. Those powerful storms were embedded in a large area of storms where cloud top temperatures were as cold as or colder than minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius). There is also some drier air working its way into the circulation. They were embedded in a large area of storms where cloud top temperatures were as cold as or colder than minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius). esprit.smith@jpl.nasa.gov. When NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over Hurricane Norman on Aug. 30 infrared data showed very cold storm tops around a 20 nautical-mile-wide eye. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 130 mph (215 kph) with higher gusts. Aqua data showed Norman was quickly intensifying. Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Lane is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low later today or tonight. On Aug. 24 at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC) the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued the final bulletin on Extratropical Storm Cimaron. Typhoon Jebi brought flooding to Japan and NASA’s IMERG estimated rainfall over the country and the surrounding region for a one-week period. NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center or CPHC noted that interests in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands should continue to monitor the progress of Lane. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 16:52, July 31, 2018 (UTC) And Tropical Tidbits spots another invest, also in the open Pacific. This motion is expected to continue tonight, followed by a turn toward the northwest on Thursday. Lane is then expected to accelerate toward the northwest on Tuesday, Aug. 28 and Wednesday, Aug. 29. Computer forecast models show that Soulik and Cimaron would remain two separate systems. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Norman was located near latitude 16.7 degrees north and longitude 120.8 degrees west. Jebi was moving toward the west near 14 mph (12 knots/22kph). A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Hawaii County. Hurricane Miriam continues to track north through the Central Pacific Ocean and NASA’s Aqua satellite analyzed the storm infrared imagery. Miriam was moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 kph), and the NHC said this motion is expected to continue through Wednesday. It is not close enough to the islands to generate any watches or warnings, however, a large swell generated by Norman peaked across the main Hawaiian Islands overnight on Sept. 6, causing large and potentially dangerous surf along east facing shores. The infrared imagery represents the temperatures of cloud tops and the ocean surface. Tropical Storm Jebi is moving toward the northwest at 10 mph. Terra found powerful storms around the 15 nautical-mile wide eye in this Category 5 storm. At the time, maximum sustained winds were near 28.7 mph (25 knots/46.3 kph). Jebi is expected to strengthen and maintain that strength for one and one half days, before finally starting a weakening trend on Sept. 1. Fortunately, Miriam is far from land, so there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. It is 825 miles (1,330 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. With more than 2,000 channels sensing different regions of the atmosphere, the system creates a global, three-dimensional map of atmospheric temperature and humidity, cloud amounts and heights, greenhouse gas concentrations, and many other atmospheric phenomena. NASA’s Aqua satellite provided valuable temperature data on Tropical Storm Norman in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. MODIS found cloud top temperatures of the strongest thunderstorms northeast and southwest of the eye were as cold as or colder than minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 62.2 Celsius). In those areas, cloud tops had temperatures near minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius). 2) August 5 th –10 th: 105 mph : 969 mb: N/A: Tropical Storm Kristy : August 7 th –11 th: 70 mph : 991 mb: N/A Cimaron was moving to the north-northeast and had maximum sustained winds near 45 knots (52 mph/83 kph). Rainfall is expected to be the biggest threat from Lane. By Steve Lang Those cloud top temperatures were as cold as minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius). This DPR view, looking toward the southwest, reveals that downpours in the feeder band south of Jebi’s center were returning radar reflectivity values of over 52 dBZ to the satellite. Norman is moving toward the northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through Saturday, remaining east of the main Hawaiian Islands. A brief slowing in forward motion is expected Monday night as Lane makes a turn toward the northwest. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted today, Aug. 29 that Norman is forecast to rapidly intensify and become a hurricane later today. Lane was only the second Category 5 hurricane to pass within 250 miles of Hawaii, with the last being Hurricane John in 1994. Launched into Earth orbit in 2002, the AIRS and AMSU instruments fly onboard NASA’s Aqua spacecraft and are managed by JPL. Despite the drop in strength, the heavy rains persist over the Hawaiian Islands. A recent microwave image showed a rather well-defined eye. Jebi is forecast to pass to the south and west of Iwo To island on the way to the big island of Japan. TD15E became better organized with increased banding later in the day and was upgraded by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to tropical storm Miriam. The surf is forecast to diminish on Friday, Sept. 7. Also included is a stereo anaglyph, which combines two of the MISR angles to show a three-dimensional view of Lane. That’s about 940 miles (1,510 km) east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Soulik is speeding to the northeast at 36 knots (41 mph/67 kph) and maximum sustained winds are near 35 knots (40 mph/62 kph) with higher gusts. On Aug. 31 at 7:15 a.m. EDT (1150 UTC) the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite found the coldest temperatures of the strongest thunderstorms around Jebi’s eye and west of the center. At 8 a.m. EDT (2 a.m. HST/1200 UTC) on Aug. 23, the eye of Hurricane Lane was located by satellite and radar near latitude 16.5 degrees north and longitude 157.3 degrees west. The MISR data were obtained from the NASA Langley Research Center Atmospheric Science Data Center in Hampton, Virginia. Lane crossed into the Central Pacific basin on the 19th and reached its peak intensity on the 22nd as a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph.
