Typhoon 11, named Nari, formed rapidly yesterday to the southwest of Okinawa. It is not a strong storm, with winds around 90 knots, and pressure at 955 est. It is a small storm, but nonetheless, it will provide me with some entertainment over the (Japanese) holiday weekend.

At 3pm today, it was cloudy and calm. At 7pm winds are gusting to 80 knots. Pretty quick change for a typhoon, where the approach and departure usually last about 12 hours.

If anybody wants to check out the Japan Meteorological Agency's page: here it is . There is an English page too; just look at the top of the page.

Have a great day. I know mine has become more interesting than it was this morning.
