LATEST JTWC WARNING SAYS.....
FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 135 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 11.9N 148.1E TO 17.5N 147.9E WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 18 TO 23 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 091830Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 12.4N 148.1E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS.
Latest forecasts say KAMMURI will kiss central Japan and move away on September 29, 2014, But who knows what might happen?
In the next few days, a much bigger storm than Fung-wong will take birth in the western Pacific. Kammuri. Typhoon Kammuri will form near the Mariana Islands in the Pacific.
In the next few days, it will move NNW towards central Japan. It will approach the country till the 29th of September giving Japan a scare, because Kammuri will be a big storm with a very large radius (Fung-wong was a pygmy by comparison).
But then suddenly it will move away north-easterly from Japan into the deep Pacific ocean.
Going by present forecasts, Kammuri will not hit Japan. All it will do is devastate the islands in its path (Volacano Islands, Bonin Islands, Iwo Jima) but these are sparsely populated.
Make no mistake; Kammuri is going to be big monster.
If it decides to hit Japan, it will be devastating.
XWF FORECAST MAP: This the closest super-typhoon "Kammuri" will get to Japan. After 29/9/2014 it will move away from the country
