Presently a weakened Typhoon Nuri is barreling along the waters off Japan's coast. On Friday it will strengthen again in the Bering Sea and pass the waters off the US Aleutian Islands. A direct hit is not expected but western islands will be severely affected.
Post-Nuri will pass between Komandorskie Islands [Russia] and Attu Islands [US] on Friday, November 7, 2014, as a powerful storm. The Komandorskie [Commander islands] are inhabited by only 600 people. The Attu-Kiska Islands are uninhabited.
The worry is that Nuri will approach the populated Pribilof Island on Sunday and start disintegrating there. This island will see very high waves and hurricane winds. Bristol Bay will see very rough weather.
Alaskan shores will witness a storm not seen in decades.
A weakened Nuri will gain energy from the Pacific drift and turn into a powerful storm again. The affects of these storm will be felt in eastern US. A cold wave with December-like temperatures is expected in New York in a few days.
VANCE WEAKENS
Meanwhile Tropical storm Vance has weakened into depression and will bring rainfall in Central Mexico around Mazatlan.
