Tropical Storm #Saola (#GoringPH) has formed offshore the northern Philippines where soup-like sea surface temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions will cause rapid intensification while a complicated barrel roll path keeps it offshore, per JTWC. metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products…

Typhoon #Saola (#GoringPH) is coming out of a looping path offshore Luzon #Philippines with Category 4 force. The forecast track now misses Taiwan entirely but brings #TyphoonSaola toward Hong Kong #China. tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/ twitter.com/UWCIMSS/status/1…

Typhoon #Saola is barreling toward China with Category 4 force. Cooler sea surface temperatures offshore Hong Kong and increased wind shear is expected to weaken #TyphoonSaola significantly as it nears the coast. tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/ twitter.com/UWCIMSS/status/1…

After a unique looping path offshore the Philippines Typhoon #Saola is forecast to make another 360 offshore China! Currently Category 4 strength, #TyphoonSaola is expected to weaken while nearing Hong Kong. These views via Himawari IR and Visible imagery. tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/

We're taking a look at the northwestern Pacific with the help of South Korea's Geo-KOMPSAT-2A 🛰️.

From left to right in this infrared imagery is #SuperTyphoon #Saola moving toward Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, and #TyphoonHaikui and #TropicalStorm #Kirogi in the Philippine Sea.
