October 8 - Super Typhoon Hagibis
Super Typhoon Hagibis has gathered strength with astonishing speed. This western Pacific storm first became a tropical depression and then tropical storm Saturday October 5, 2019. Winds in the system surged by at least 90 mph by Monday morning. All told, it took just 18 hours for Hagibis to reach super typhoon status. By Monday evening, local time, sustained winds had reached 162 mph, with gusts in excess of 186 mph, and the storm is set to strengthen even further into today. The U.S. National Weather Service issued a typhoon warning for the islands of Saipan, Tinian, Alamagan and Pagan in the Northern Marianas on Sunday, with the worst impacts from the storm expected in the region through Monday afternoon, Eastern Time. A tropical storm warning was also in effect for the islands of Agrihan, Rota, and Guam. Hagibis is set to bring strong winds and torrential rainfall to the Northern Marianas, a U.S. territory, through today, Eastern Time. Flash flooding and high surf are also likely in Guam as the centre of the storm passes to the north. From there, models diverge somewhat on the eventual path of the storm, but the official track takes it on a path close to Japan's main island by the end of the week. Given the expected trajectory and strength of this storm, Weather Network meteorologists say it may eventually influence the weather in western North America in the long range.
