The National Hurricane Center defines “extra-tropical” as a transition that implies both poleward displacement (meaning it moves toward the north or south pole) of the cyclone and the conversion of the cyclone’s primary energy source from the release of latent heat of condensation to baroclinic (the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses) processes. It was located near 24.1 degrees north latitude and 133.8 degrees east longitude. NWS said “Man-yi will track east of Faraulep tonight…then pass about 200 miles southwest of Guam Thursday afternoon…and about 150 miles northeast of Ulithi and Fais Thursday evening, Nov. 22.”.

Moreover, dozens of flights out of Saigon were either canceled or severely delayed on the same day. Follow Zoom Earth on Twitter for the latest updates. According to Le Dinh Quyet from the Southern Hydro-Meteorological Center, the bout of rain caused by Usagi was the longest and heaviest ever recorded in Saigon history, with historic levels of rainwater. Daily imagery is provided by services from NASA’s GIBS, part of EOSDIS. Warm sea surface temperatures are helping keep the storm together as it battles moderate vertical wind shear of winds 20 to 25 knots (23 to 29 mph/37 to 46 kph). Is the Atlantic hurricane season getting longer? JTWC forecasters expect 33W to make landfall very near Ho Chi Minh City late on Nov. 24, and then progress to the northwest into Cambodia, For updated forecasts and warnings, visit the Vietnam National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting (NCHMF): http://www.nchmf.gov.vn, By Rob Gutro  Man-yi has tracked north-northwestward. By Rob Gutro The surface maximum wind speed of Usagi, which was an intense category 4 western North Pacific tropical cyclone (TC), increased by 33 m s −1 over a 24‐hr period. 33W was moving west and has maximum sustained winds near 55 knots (63 mph/102 kph).The Joint Typhoon Warning Center or JTWC noted that 33W may intensify slightly before making landfall on a day. More than 350 mm (14 inches) of rainfall was reported causing widespread flooding around Ho Chi Minh City. Bouchra is expected to make its final dissipation by the end of the day on Nov. 20. Microwave Imager (GMI) instruments revealed heaviest estimated precipitation was falling at a rate of greater than 30 mm (1.2 inches) per hour northeast of the center of circulation. Man-yi is expected to maintain strength for another day and then be absorbed by the mid-latitude westerlies (winds) and begin extra-tropical transition. Across the water, green palms trees shimmered as the occasional bird flicked across the surface, singing ... Saigoneer in Eat & Drink JTWC has forecast Man-yi to move northwest and begin weakening. NASA-NOAA satellite Suomi-NPP, and MODIS Aqua and Terra provide continuous imagery for “AM” at local 10:30am, and “PM” at local 1:30pm. The VIIRS instrument aboard the Suomi NPP satellite revealed that 33W’s center was in the Sulu Sea on Nov. 21 as the elongated storm extended over the island of Palawan. Maximum sustained winds had weakened to 30 knots (34.5 mph/55.5 kph) and it continued weakening as it moved further inland. Suomi NPP passed over 33W on Nov. 23 at 1:24 a.m. EDT (0624 UTC) and the VIIRS instrument provided a visible image. At 10 a.m. EST (1500 UTC) on Nov. 26, Man-yi was a weak tropical storm with maximum sustained winds near 35 knots (40 mph/74 kph). According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, it was the ninth storm to impact Vietnam this year, and several more may strike the country before the end of 2018. The dawn rays of sun falling on the Saigon River resembled miraculous flames as we approached. Maximum sustained winds had weakened to 30 knots (34.5 mph/55.5 kph) and it continued weakening as it moved further inland. At 10 a.m. EST (1500 UTC) the center of Tropical Depression 33W was located near latitude 10.7 degrees north and longitude 119.8 degrees east. On Nov. 20 the MODIS or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instrument aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite saw Tropical Storm Bouchra being torn apart by winds. After more than a day of unrelenting rain, Typhoon Usagi has reduced Saigon to a waterlogged town. In an effort to remedy Saigon’s current traffic pandemonium, local authorities are considering turning several of the city’s major streets into one-way thoroughfares. Storm Maps. Wind shear had increased since Nov. 19 and was pushing the bulk of clouds to the southeast and about 150 nautical miles away from the center. It was located near 5.4 degrees south latitude and 78.0 degrees east longitude, about 604 nautical miles southeast of Diego Garcia. Tropical storm force winds extend outward from the center up to 115 miles making the storm about 230 miles in diameter. As of 6 am on October 29, Storm Molave caused two deaths, left 55 people missing, injured 28 people and damaged 2,527 houses in central Vietnam, reported the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control. Storm Activity: Nov 18, 2018 - Nov 25, 2018 . 4 MONTHS AGO, Saigoneer in Eat & Drink Rainfall intensity decreased rapidly as the remnants of Usagi moved inland over Cambodia. Storm Activity: Nov 18, 2018 - Nov 25, 2018. The VIIRS image showed 33W had strengthened and its center was surrounded by powerful storms. GPM provided an analysis of rainfall within Man-yi on Nov. 26 at 11:41 a.m. EST (1641).

Typhoon Usagi, developed from a tropical low-pressure system and the ninth storm to hit the East Sea this year, is heading to south central Vietnam. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. What followed was more than 24 hours of continuous rain in some southern provinces and Saigon that paralyzed local traffic and inundated low-lying areas.
