Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On August 24, 2020, Tropical Cyclone Bavi was spinning over the East China Sea as it approached the Korean Peninsula. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the storm that same morning. Although the eye remained over open water, rain bands from Bavi had spread over Okinawa, bringing heavy downpours and flooding.

Bavi’s life began as a tropical depression, 09W, that formed on August 21 over 350 nautical miles from Kadena Air Base, Okinawa Island, Japan. On August 22, when it strengthened into a tropical storm it was named Bavi. By 5 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC) on Aug. 23, the storm continued to strengthen and reached typhoon status when it was about 548 nautical miles south-southwest of Chinhae, South Korea.

On August 24, the eye was located over the East China Sea, west of the chain of Ryukyu Islands. Powerful thunderstorms circled the eye, which was obscured by high clouds. Bands of thunderstorms from the storm’s eastern quadrant extended over the Ryukyu island chain. At 11:00 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) on August 24, the center of Typhoon Bavi was centered about 475 miles (764 km) south-southwest of Chinhae, South Korea. Bavi is moving to the northeast and had maximum sustained winds of about 109 mph (175 km/h), equivalent to a Category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane Wind Scale.

Bavi is forecast to continue strengthening to 110 knots (127 mph/204 kph), before weakening rapidly on passing through the Yellow Sea and west of the Korean Peninsula. Bavi is expected to make landfall in northwestern North Korea on August 26.
