Daily weather brief – Tuesday, August 2, 2016

NWPAC outlook, 02 AUG

Summer heat settles into much of the interior north region, while showers, and even some thunderstorms, hang on in coastal locales.

The attention of the central region is on Typhoon NIDA as it slams into Hong Kong and the southeastern Chinese coast. It appears Hong Kong has escaped any significant damage, however, lingering rainfall from this system in the coming days will bring flooding and landslide hazards to southern and southeastern China as it moves slowly to the NW and weakens. Meanwhile, conditions are dry and quite hot along the Sino-Vietnamese border, with high heat and humidity leading to dangerous heat indices.

Numerous scattered showers and thunderstorms will pop up across the south region, with most activity being found over Indochina as a result of southwesterly flow from Typhoon NIDA to the north.

The tropics have given us a new system to watch, in the form of 98W INVEST, located to the east of the Mariana Islands. Initial computer models forecast movement of this system will be predominantly north-northwestward as it strengthens over the open ocean. The reminder of the region could see a scattered thunderstorm as convergent energy abounds in the region.
