It now has a name Lupit and may be a supertyphoon as the forecast says but the center pass south of Guam hopefully.Looks formidble at the sat pics I posted so as the atlantic hurricane season is by all effects in the books let's follow this one.

The latest forecast advisory track drops the maximun winds from 145 kts at the previous advisory to 125 kts in days 4 and 5 and also keeps the track south of Guam.

It is now typhoon Lupit as it has organized very good and it has an distintive eye but still passing south of Guam.

What will the impact for Guam be?

For Guam only some showers and some gusty winds as they will be at the north side but far enough to not see tropical storm force winds and of course big swells going there but if the track verifies that is what they can expect.

It is now traking WSW and passing more south of Guam than expected with maximun winds of 90 kts.So the effects in Guam will be minimal but only the big surf will be the big effect there.

The latest advisory has it moving west and then turn to the WNW but it is passing south of Guam without any problems there.The winds haved increased to 95kts and in 4-5 days it may get to 130 kts but without affecting land in that 5 day period.

The latest advisory bumps the maximun winds to 100kts and are forecasted to increase to 145 kts in 4-5 days making it a supertyphoon but for the next 5 days it is not a threat to any land.

It is weakening rapidly as the outflow becomes restricted and moves into cooler waters without threat to land.But it was fun to watch this system with that impressive eye at one point without threatening anyone.

Lupit still holding it's own, considering.

But now it is weakening bigtime Chad as it moves into cooler waters and during it's track it has not threaten any land this system that was at one point a supertyphoon with 150 kts but now the winds are down to 95 kts as I type this.
