JTWC forecast for Super Typhoon Champi, Warning 16; rendered by MaverickWX

Published advisory track · Warning 16

Observed imagery loads separately from the advisory. The base map is not observed satellite imagery.

JTWC supplies no cone for this issuance; none is invented.

Replay uses retained source bytes. Recording begins with activation; missing history is not clear weather.

Live sources keep independent clocks.

Replay coverage and interpretation

Rolling target: 24 hours; cells: six hours. Radar: NOAA MRMS national overview, 8-minute tolerance. Satellite: original GOES GeoColor day/night picture, hourly sampling, 75-minute tolerance. No interpolation or latest-image fallback. Warning and source checks retain their own clocks. “Recorded by” is collector acquisition evidence, not exact browser publication history.

Current GLM density, velocity and specialist layers are hidden during replay. Snow uses retained footprint metadata with unverified pixel time. Forecast uses one pinned issuance/run and exact valid time.

No observed replay frame displayed.

Use Forecast above to pin an official issuance and valid point. The forecast table and advisory history remain available below.

Analysis and model context

Current cached context, independently dated. Regional reference: GU; a reference within a wider monitoring area does not replace the complete warning geography. This section remains separate from the historical replay cursor and official cyclone forecast. Use Forecast to pin a retained model package.

Soundings: what weather balloons measured

SPC’s skew-T diagram and hodograph of the sounding at Cape Canaveral, FL (XMR), 00Z. Its levels are in the table below. — Observed Sounding at Cape Canaveral, FL (XMR), for 17 Oct 00:00Z (31 h 39 min ago) **older than the last two launches**. SPC’s graphic; the values in its panels (CAPE, shear, the indices) are SPC’s computations from these levels. Data: NOAA/SPC.

A balloon launched about an hour before the time named, measuring as it rose and drifted with the wind: the atmosphere above one place, at one time. Model soundings, which are forecasts, are not shown here.

Data coverage

JTWC has no NHC cone, NHC wind probabilities or NHC civil coastal warnings. Local national services remain the warning authorities.

Geographic context: Natural Earth boundaries and representative place labels. Radar coverage is limited offshore. Satellite pixels keep their source palette and actual observation time. Missing imagery is not clear weather.

Lightning activity — GOES GLM

Total lightning, including in-cloud activity. Not ground-strike locations or a safe-to-go-outside signal.

Cached lightning observations have not loaded. An empty map is not zero lightning.

Monitoring geography and current changes

Area: U.S. territories JTWC’s forecast track passes within 300 nm of, Warning 16: Guam and Northern Mariana Islands (NWS states: GU, MP)
JTWC issues no cone and no coastal segments, so the area is the territories its track reaches.
Hazards: Tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, river flood, areal flood, coastal flood, tropical and other warnings, watches and advisories, and the forecasts for them
Window: In force now, with this warning’s forecast
