Al een Cat 5, maar nog veel ruimte om aan te sterken.
Jebi is already a formidable-looking typhoon, with an enormous circulation around a solid convective core and a distinct eye. Over the next couple of days, low wind shear (around 5 knots), very warm SSTs (around 30°C), and a moist atmosphere will give Jebi plenty of opportunity to continue strengthening. JTWC predicts that Jebi will peak on Friday with 180 mph winds, making it Earth's strongest storm thus far in 2018.
Jebi was moving through the U.S. commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands late Thursday local time, with the northern eyewall roaring over the tiny uninhabited island of Pagan.
Bijna perfect. IR temperaturen vanaf de satelliet: oog +20 graden, droog en helder, eyewall -75 graden: https://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters/25W/html5-wv-long.html
