Saturday, fast-moving and fast weakening Maemi, now downgraded to
a tropical storm, is racing towards a transformation to a new status
as a mid-latitude storm. Before daybreak, EDT, Maemi is over the Sea
of Japan less than 300 miles west-southwest of Sapporo, Japan. Headed
towards the east-northeast at between 30 and 35 mph, has highest
sustained winds below 70 mph. Within 12 to 18 hours, the storm will
sweep past northern Hokkaido, Japan, and nearby Sakhalin Island,
Russia, before loosing the status of tropical storm over the southern
Sea of Okhotsk.
Typhoon Maemi pounding the Korean Peninsula Friday and Friday
night. The eye of Maemi crossed the mainland coast between Yosu and
Ch'ongmu with winds above 100 mph. Eastern and southern South Korea,
even southeastern North Korea, was washed with heavy, sometimes
flooding, rainfall. Amounts of 5 to 10 inches were widespread, and
along the eastern mountain ridge, Kangnung picked up 12.1 inches
within 24 hours; 15.6 inches swamped Taegwallyong. Earlier, the island
of Cheju was struck, and sustained winds of nearly 100 mph were
clocked at one weather station.
The weather can change rapidly high in the Andes of South
America. Such was the case Thursday night near La Paz, Bolivia's
administrative capital. At El Alto, the airport serving the city,
thundery rain showers turned to steady snow which lasted through the
night. By daybreak Friday, snow lay 4 inches deep.
Late this week, heavy snows blanketed the northeastern Alps.
In southernmost Germany, the weather station atop Zugspitze, the
nation's high spot, snowfall of two feet was metered. Atop the
Sonnblick, a peak thrust more than 10,000 into the sky of western
Austria, fresh snowfall was 22 inches within two days.
Abnormal warmth has of late wafted over shores of Canada's Hudson
and James bays. In northern Quebec, Kuujjuarapik set lows of 67
degrees sandwiched about Friday's high of 81. Saturday's high was
fully 30 degrees above average, and the lows were nearly as
anomalous.
