Super Typhoon Jebi, which closely resembled Super Typhoon Soudelor over the weekend, has weakened and no longer threatens the Marianas. <\/p>\n
Jebi intensified from just a typhoon into a super typhoon as it threaded its way between Pagan and Alamagan. Briefly, Jebi became a a Category 4 typhoon and was the planet’s most intense tropical cyclone of 2018 before weakening.<\/p>\n
According to an interview with Homeland Security public information officer Nadine Deleon Guerrero, Jebi closely resembled Super Typhoon Soudelor because of how concentrated the center of the typhoon was. <\/p>\n
Yesterday, the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam, said that Jebi is no longer a super typhoon and continues to weaken while it moves northwest. <\/p>\n
As of 1pm yesterday, the center of Typhoon Jebi was located 390 miles west-southwest of Iwo To Island, about 725 miles west-northwest of Agrihan, about 755 miles west-northwest of Pagan, about 775 miles west-northwest of Alamagan, about 870 miles northwest of Saipan, and about 905 miles northwest of Guam.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Jebi remains at maximum sustained winds of 130 mph and was last reported heading 320 degrees northwest at 14 mph. <\/p>\n
Typhoon Jebi is expected to make a turn toward the north-northwest before turning more to the north today and northeast tonight before making landfall in Japan on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Typhoon Jebi is forecast to slowly weaken over the next few days, and Jebi has decreased below super typhoon intensity. However, Jebi will remain a typhoon until it makes landfall on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Typhoon force winds extend outward up to 45 miles from the center.<\/p>\n
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles to the northeast but only 115 miles to the southwest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
