After rapidly intensifying, Super Typhoon Nuri may be planet's strongest storm of 2014

The west Pacific Ocean basin, home to some of the strongest typhoons on the planet, has done it again. Barely one month after Super Typhoon Vongfong peaked at an intensity that was among the top 30 most intense such storms on record, Super Typhoon Nuri rapidly intensified on Sunday to rival or beat that milestone.
The storm is located over the open ocean, hundreds of miles to the south of Japan, and is forecast to swerve to the northeast, moving out to sea before hitting land. Based on satellite estimates, it now has maximum sustained winds of 180 miles per hour, which is about equal to or stronger than Vongfong was.

However, both Super Typhoon Vongfong and Super Typhoon Nuri likely come in behind the intensity of 2013's Super Typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the city of Tacloban, Philippines, with sustained winds of about 190 mph and a massive storm surge.

The satellite imagery of Super Typhoon Nuri is of a storm straight out of central casting, with an area of towering thunderstorms surrounding a pinhole-like, 10-mile wide eye. The storm intensified rapidly from Saturday to Sunday, going from a Category 2 storm to what will likely be classified as a Category 5 storm in the next advisory that will be issued from the U.S. military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

That center, which is jointly run by the U.S. Air Force and the Navy, typically has a lag time between when a storm rapidly intensifies and when such strengthening is reflected in official advisories. The most recent advisory, as of 12 p.m. ET, shows Super Typhoon Nuri having winds of 150 mph, which puts it just shy of Category 5 status.
An ample supply of warm ocean water, plus atmospheric conditions that encourage intensification, such as light winds at the upper levels of the atmosphere, have aided the storm's explosive growth.

Super Typhoon #Nuri appears to have peaked — based on satellite, 160-knots, T 7.7 ... should be tied or win as strongest of 2014.

While the storm should spare Japan from a third direct hit from a typhoon so far this season, it could have implications for U.S. and Canadian weather in one to two weeks from now. Typhoons that move into the northern Pacific, transforming into large, non-tropical storm systems as they do so, can influence the course of the jet stream thousands of miles downstream.

The west Pacific has now given birth to five super typhoons so far this season, in part because of unusually high sea surface temperatures in some parts of the region. In contrast, the Atlantic hurricane season has been a sleeper, with the exception of Hurricane Gonzalo, which intensified to Category 4 status at one point before hitting Bermuda as a Category 2 storm on Oct. 18.

The jet stream is the highway of fast-moving air at jetliner altitudes that steers weather systems from west to east across the Northern Hemisphere, and storms like Super Typhoon Nuri can cause dips or waves to develop along it. This can lead to major storms and cold air outbreaks over the continental U.S. in the early fall to winter.

Typhoon Nuri to Spare Philippines, Target Japan

By Courtney Spamer, Meteorologist

Click the above video for a look at the weather in Asia.

Typhoon Nuri spares the Philippines from most of the cyclone's impacts with a drastic northerly turn this weekend, but now aims for Japan.
A front moving through the East China Sea and Japan Saturday picked up the storm as it churned in the Western Pacific. This interaction brought a drastic change in Nuri's path. After heading mostly westward over the past week, it will head northward through the Philippine Sea.
The Philippines likely will still get a few showers and thunderstorms through Monday with the passing of the front as well as some outer bands of the storm. The biggest impact to the islands will be rough seas and rip currents to the eastern shores of the Philippines.

Nuri on Saturday strengthened into a typhoon, and likely will remain that way through the early part of the new week.
During its northerly track, the front moving through Japan is expected to slow down. This slow advancement of the front will allow Nuri to make an approach on Japan for the end of the week.

Even so, it remains likely the Nuri will pass to the east of Japan and out into the open Pacific Ocean by next weekend.
Japan can still feel some impacts from this large storm as interaction with the front will likely pull moisture into eastern Honshu resulting in the threat for downpours capable of causing flash flooding and even mudslides in areas of rugged terrain.
