A tropical storm is forming off the northwestern coast of Luzon in the Philippines, and has been named Bising by PAGASA. Whilst the system has not so far been recognised as a fully fledged storm, there are indications that it could meet the requirements or will do so very soon. The storm is expected to intensify as it drags northeastwards through the Batanes islands and then the southern Ryukyu islands, before stalling in the East China Sea and gaining strength. Longer range forecasts suggest that the storm could become a major typhoon before heading for eastern China. In the meantime, the primary threat is rainfall where up to 500mm could fall in parts of Luzon, causing major flash flooding concerns. Signal 1 warnings are in effect for parts of Ilocos Norte and the Babuyan islands.
Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Mun is holding a good tight core to the northeast of the Ogasawara island chain, and could become a typhoon as it swings eastwards and may hook back towards Japan this weekend or early next week.
In the Eastern Pacific, Flossie is dying off, but is soon to be replaced by another likely storm moving out to sea, and another storm may form next week behind it.
In the Atlantic, an area of interest is showing a weak rotation near the bend region of Florida, and is expected to curve through the northern peninsula and may become a tropical cyclone near the coast of South Carolina in a few days.
