Tropical Storm Nyatoh in the Philippine Sea
A tropical depression in the Philippine Sea has developed into Tropical Storm ‘Nyatoh’. The system is currently moving northwestward. Once it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), it will likely exit the area within 24 hours. Forecasters have predicted the storm will strengthen quickly, but its track will not pass over the Philippine islands. A Tropical Cyclone Advisory has already been issued by the NWS office in Guam.
The Himawari-8 satellite houses the Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) that provides full disk geostationary data at a high temporal resolution, similar to the GOES-16/17 ABI. AHI’s domain is perfect for monitoring storms such as Nyatoh.
