Radar showing just minor 1-5 mm/h rains on Okinawa now, but with a strong band on the southern side of the storm possibly coming in...

Here's the forecast radar 50 minutes from now

yeah, looks like that one band might try to wack them. :grr:

Radio just reported that they expect more bands to come through once the storm roates again..so I am guessing another couple of hours

The 50 knot circle i finally starting to pass over Okinawa and starting to leave!

Winds have definitely dropped significantly, last METAR was 25 kt sustained gusting to 40.

#1089 Postby **StormingB81** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 8:56 pm

Tha 40mph is the lowest in almost 3 days!

Chacor · #1090 Postby **Chacor** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 8:58 pm

Winds back up, 41 kt gusting 54. Radar shows another band due in around noon, so until then you've got about an hour of lighter rain.

Winds totally decimated our fire escape door. It's in large pieces all over the place.

oh wow! I saw on the Kadena page that someone said they had seen lots of pictures posted with damage. Didn't state where the pictures are though.

Yeah... I don't think that's going to happen. Just not really meteorologically or climatologically sound. The closest to that I'd imagine is if it stalls.

I know I just laughed...If it were okinawa would sink with all the rain we have had..lol

Quite a major difference in initial position between JMA and JTWC.

JMA 00z: 27.1N 126.3E
JTWC 00z: 27.7N 125.6E

Not to mention JMA has this storm stronger than the JTWC does!

Chacor · #1099 Postby **Chacor** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:29 pm

Past few METARs have been promising, all below 50 kt gusts and 34 kt sustained.

Chacor · #1100 Postby **Chacor** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:30 pm

Looking at Okinawa radar and the +1 hour nowcast, it appears that the stronger band towards the south might miss Okinawa now.
