time being. Late Thursday afternoon, EDT, Namtheun is centered about
310 miles south-southwest of Tokyo where it holds top sustained winds
of 85 mph. The typhoon is drifting westward at 5 mph. Namtheun is

Over the eastern North Pacific Ocean, Hurricane Darby has
weakened. Late Thursday afternoon, EDT, Darby holds highest sustained

towards the west-northwest while weakening further during the next 2-3
days.
A tropical depression is following on the heels of Darby over the
eastern North Pacific Ocean. Late Thursday afternoon, EDT, the
depression is centered 635 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico,
and about 195 miles southwest of Isla Clarion, one of Mexico's
Revillagigedo Islands. With highest sustained winds just shy of 30
mph, the depression is moving westward at 13 mph. During the next 24
hours, this weather-maker is forecast to change little in strength,
