A new tropical storm has formed in the Pacific, between the Philippines and the Mariana Islands over open waters. The storm is expected to move towards the north whilst gradually intensifying, and could peak as a major typhoon as it approaches the Japanese islands. The models are currently split on the outcome of this system, with the CMC model now opting for a turn to the west which would mean that the storm moves over Taiwan and then into the South China Sea whilst a more powerful system passes to the east. The GFS model remains fairly similar to the last run, with the storm making landfall in Kyushu, Japan, and then striking South Korea.
