#TyphoonDolphin slowly crawling west into the East China Sea. Not uncommon to see little loops & curves in the track when a cyclone slows. Rain & wind gusts are stronger in #Naha on the backside of this storm. Pressure down to 935mb, mainly due to the storm’s massive size. #wx

#TyphoonDolphin slowing in speed just west of #Okinawa. Eyewall replacement indicating a restrengthening. Pressure down to 935 mb, max sustained winds near 98mph (equivalent to a Cat 2). Further strengthening is likely as Dolphin moves slowly west into the East China Sea. #wx

Rough seas in #Naha #Okinawa continue. #wx #TyphoonDolphin

Live in #Naha #Okinawa. Checking out #TyphoonDolphin. #wx

About 96 miles NNE of my location the island of #Yoronjima is going through the eye of #TyphoonDolphin. Northern parts of #Okinawa going through the eyewall. In Naha, periods of rain, high seas, and strong wind gusts continue. Central pressure 950mb, max winds 75kts (86mph). #wx

View from #Naha. Center of #TyphoonDolphin to our northeast. Bands of rain throughout the night. Tropical Storm wind gusts from time to time. Business as normal for #Okinawa. Traffic moving and our local Familymart open. #wx

Eye of #TyphoonDolphin approaching northern #Okinawa and parts of the #AmamiIslands. Pressure at 950 mb, max wind speeds near 75kts (86 mph) - equivalent to a Cat 1. Due to Dolphin’s large size and slowing forward speed, poor conditions will continue through at least Saturday. #wx

First warnings issued to our phones as #Typhoon Dolphin approaches. Evacuations for some in place. We are safe. Rain beginning to move in tonight. Strongest winds and rain expected tomorrow. #okinawa

Currently on my honeymoon in #Okinawa. It would not be a proper celebration without a Typhoon. Large Typhoon #Dolphin with 950 mb pressure and max sustained winds near 92mph. On track to cross Okinawa Friday. Currently mostly sunny skies but winds are increasing. #wx

Tropical Depression Two has formed in the eastern Gulf. So long as it stays over water it has a chance of strengthening into a Tropical Storm as it slowly meanders westward grazing the coastline. Tropical Storm Watch up for the #FLPanhandle. #wx #flwx

Jumping up to a high chance (80%) for development. Gulf system situating itself perfectly over the warm waters and in a region of light wind shear. If it continues to churn here slowly we will likely see #Bertha be named. #Hurricane Hunters scheduled to investigate today. #wx

Moderate (40%) chance of development. Gulf system showing a nice spin & increased convection today. Depending on positioning & land interaction we may see this system be named #Bertha. Even if it does not strengthen, ample moisture expected for parts of the #Florida Panhandle.#wx

A quiet #Hurricane Season so far. This week we will be watching two areas that have a low chance of development. Both areas have moderate to strong wind shear which could suppress development in the near term. Uptick in precipitation at least for part of the Southeast. #wx

Super Typhoon #Bavi. Large and powerful Category 5 #hurricane over the western North Pacific, wind speeds near 165 mph. Tracking toward the Mariana Islands. Expected to pass very near #Rota before moving between #Guam and #Saipan on Monday morning. #wx

Small chance of development over the next several days off the Southeast coast. Could bring some showers to the coastal regions but at this time it is not a concern. Continue to monitor over the next week. Next name #Bertha. #wx

#Venezuela is no stranger to strong earthquakes given its proximity to the Caribbean plate. Since 1641 it has experienced six quakes measuring at least magnitude 7. The strongest #earthquake on record for Venezuela occurred on March 26, 1812 (7.7M). Estimated 20,000 lives lost.

Strong tectonic activity today. 7.1 magnitude #earthquake in #Venezuela and a 6.9 magnitude off the coast of Kuji #Japan.

Wow. Very intense radar signature. Confirmed large and extremely dangerous #tornado located 8 miles southwest of #Martinsville, #Indiana or 10 miles north of #Bloomington, moving east at 45 mph. Seek shelter if you are in this area. #wx

Convection is on fire across portions of #Illinois and #Indiana. Moderate risk (4/5) for parts of these areas as a strengthening low pressure moves across the Great Lakes region. Tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds will be possible. Have multiple ways to receive alerts. #wx

Tropical Storm #Arthur has formed near the Texas coastline. Heavy rainfall and flash flooding to be the main concerns for southern and coastal areas of #Louisiana, #Mississippi, and the #Florida Panhandle. On average, the first named storm typically forms in mid to late June. #wx

Tropical Storm Watches issued for coastal parts of east #Texas, and western through central coastlines of #Louisiana. If this system reaches tropical storm status it will be given the name #Arthur. Main concerns expected to be heavy rainfall which could lead to flash flooding.#wx

Moderate (50%) chance for development this week. Moisture moving into the Gulf could form into a system. Land interaction combined with moderate upper level wind shear will give this system a challenge though. Parts of the western #Gulf Coast can anticipate some rain at least. #wx

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for North central #Flagler County and Southeastern St. Johns County until 330 PM EDT. Strong winds, heavy rainfall (which is needed), and lightning possible. #flwx #wx #SaintAugustine.

Cumulus clouds boiling up into cumulonimbus clouds this afternoon. Gorgeous structure. A few scattered storms will be possible today across Northeast Florida but most will be dry and hot to end the work week. Better chance for showers this weekend and into next week. #flwx #wx

Monitoring the Gulf this week. A small chance of development possible, but this will depend on if ample moisture from Tropical Storm #Cristina (in the Pacific) makes its way eastward. The Gulf is generally where tropical development takes place during the month of #June. #wx

Magnitude 6.1 #Earthquake 104 km WNW of Mantua, #Cuba. Light shaking reported in parts of Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and as far as Jacksonville, #Florida. No #tsunami threat expected.

An #earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.2, revised to 7.8, occurred at 938 AM ChST in Mindanao, #Philippines.

The first tropical storm of the 2026 Eastern Pacific #Hurricane Season has formed #Amanda. No threat to land - Fish Storm. 🐠 #wx

#June is a relatively quiet month for tropical systems in the Atlantic. The Gulf, which usually maintains prime sea surface temps, is generally where systems form during this month. #Hurricane Beryl is the strongest June hurricane on record: reaching Cat 4 on June 30, 2024. #wx

June 1st marks the opening of the Atlantic #Hurricane Season. Multiple agencies are forecasting a below average season thanks to an intensifying El Niño. An average season sees 14 named storms, with 7 becoming hurricanes & 3 reaching major status. It only takes one though. #wx
