Tropical Cyclone 17W (Sanvu) remains a typhoon and is peaking in strength…well offshore to the southeast of southern Japan
Here’s a satellite image of this system…along with what the computer models are showing
Here’s a looping satellite image of this storm
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center reports that satellite images depict a well organized system, with strong convection wrapping into a 25 NM cloud filled eye feature.
Environmental analysis reveals strong radial outflow, low 5-10 knot wind shear, and that the system is tracking through warm sea surface temperatures.
TY 17W is forecast to continue track northeastward over the next 72 hours. After 36 hours, the system will accelerate, with favorable conditions persisting over the next 24 hours…allowing further intensification…with a peak of 110 knots.
After 24 hours, increasing wind shear will cause the system to begin a weakening trend, which will continue for the duration of the forecast period.
Maximum sustained winds as of the JTWC Warning #19 were 65 knots with gusts of 80 knots

Tropical Cyclone 18W (Mawar) is currently at the tropical storm level…and not expected to reach the typhoon stage
Here’s a satellite image of this system…along with what the computer models are showing
Here’s a looping satellite image of this storm
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center reports that satellite images show a flaring convection associated with a broad, although slowly consolidating low level circulation center.
Environmental analysis reveals that the system has strong poleward and equatorward outflow, is in an area of low 5-10 knot wind shear…and warm sea surface temperatures.
TD 18W is forecast to continue tracking north-northeastward over the next 72 hours. Steering currents will be northwestward towards Taiwan. Low wind shear, warm sea surface temperatures and good outflow will continue until the system makes landfall. The peak intensity will attain 50 knots, making landfall east of Hong Kong after 36 hours.
Once over land, the rugged terrain of southeastern China will rapidly weaken the system, with complete dissipation occurring within 72 hours.
Maximum sustained winds as of the JTWC Warning #6 were 35 knots with gusts of 45 knots

Finally, in the northeastern Pacific…Tropical Storm 14E (Lidia) is impacting the southern Baja California
NHC Advisory #13A shows sustained winds are at 50 mph
Tropical Storm Lidia formed Wednesday evening south of Baja California…with flooding reported Thursday in Los Cabos. Flooding impacted San Jose del Cabo, with almost 12 inches of rainfall reported.
Rainfall accumulations of 6 to 12 inches are expected across the Mexican states of Baja California Sur into Baja California, Sinaloa and coastal areas of Sonora, with locally higher amounts up to 20 inches possible.
A tropical storm warning has been issued for the Baja California Peninsula from San Jose de Las Palomas to Isla San Luis and also for mainland Mexico from Altata to Puerto Libertad.
This graphical map shows the Watches and Warnings in the area.
This system will continue to produce heavy rainfall capable of life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides.
A track to the northwest is expected to continue into this weekend, essentially taking the center of Lidia up along or near the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula.
Gusty winds and heavy rain will affect Los Cabos today, with impacts over the rest of the southern Baja continuing into Saturday.
There is a chance some of the tropical moisture associated with Lidia could enhance thunderstorm activity in parts of the Desert Southwest this weekend.
By late this weekend, Lidia will begin to weaken and become a remnant low…as it interacts with land and cooler water temperatures west of the Baja California Peninsula.
Here’s a satellite image…and what the computer models are showing
According to the NHC:
The center of Lidia has been moving over the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula. While the convective cloud pattern has become somewhat ragged, a recent surface observation from Loreto, Mexico indicates that maximum sustained winds remain near 50 kt. The storm also continues to have a large wind field in the eastern semicircle as shown by a prolonged period of tropical- storm-force winds at Los Mochis on the Mexican mainland. Weakening is expected while the circulation interacts with the mountainous terrain of Baja California. However, tropical-storm- force winds will continue to extend well east of the center, riding up the peninsula and adjacent Gulf of California for about the next 24 hours. When Lidia emerges over the Pacific, it is expected to be over sea surface temperatures near or below 24C, which should cause it to quickly decay to a remnant low. The latest large-scale model guidance suggests that a circulation should persist through 96 h, possibly due to interaction with a nearby mid- to upper-level low late in the forecast period. Thus, a 96 h point has been included. The initial motion is now 325/10. Lidia remains between a mid-level high centered over the southwestern United States and the aforementioned mid- to upper-level trough to the southwest and south over the Pacific, and these features should keep the cyclone on a general northwestward course for the next 72 h or so, followed by a turn toward the west-northwest. The new forecast track has the center over or just off of the west coast of the Baja California peninsula for the next 18-24 h before emerging over the Pacific Ocean. Overall the new track is an update of the previous track that lies close to, but is slightly faster than, the various consensus models. While Lidia should weaken, the heavy rainfall threat will continue over northwestern Mexico and the Baja California peninsula during the next few days. Moisture from the cyclone could reach the southwestern United States over the weekend.
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND:
RAINFALL:
Lidia is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 12 inches across the Mexican states of Baja California Sur into Baja California, Sinaloa and the coastal section of Sonora, with isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches. These rains may cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Some of the tropical moisture from Lidia may reach parts of the desert Southwest this holiday weekend, including southern California, southern Nevada and southwestern Arizona. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring over the southern portion of Baja California Sur and over portions of the Mexican mainland at this time. These conditions should spread northward across the warning areas of the Baja California peninsula and mainland Mexico through Saturday. Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds on the southern portion of Baja California Sur. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Lidia are affecting portions of the coast of southwestern and western Mexico and southern portions of Baja California Sur, and could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
