A BLOG ABOUT SOUTHWESTERN WEATHER, Welcome to the MadWeather Blog! We have two basic rules for this blog:
WEATHER FORECASTING & OBSERVING, AND OTHER RELATED TOPICS
(1) Debate and discussion should be civil.
(2) Because public discussion, regardless of the topic,
is not very effective if we don't know who is talking to whom,
MadWeather does not accept anonymous posts.

The IR image below is from 2132 UTC and shows that Vongfong is about directly south of southern Japan. At bottom is current forecast for the super typhoon from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Current wind speed estimates for the storm are sustained winds of 155 kt (178 mph) with gusts to 190 kt (219 mph).
