Feature: NASA-JAXA's New Precipitation Satellite Sees First Atlantic Hurricane
The five GPM passes over Arthur are the first time a precipitation-measuring satellite has been able to follow a hurricane through its full life cycle with high-resolution measurements of rain and ice.

Special! -Tropical Look Back at 3 Different Tropical Cyclone Arthurs
- This triple image created by NOAA's Visualization Lab shows that 2014 marks the third time that an Atlantic cyclone named Arthur has threatened the North Carolina coast. Shown here are the three storms: Tropical Storm Arthur on June 19, 1996 from GOES-8; Tropical Storm Arthur on July 14, 2002 from GOES-8; Hurricane Arthur on July 3, 2014 from NOAA's GOES-13 (East) satellite .

NW PACIFIC -Special NOAA Viz Lab Image: Typhoon Neoguri on Track to Strike Kyushu, Japan
Typhoon Neoguri is forecast to continue north until a mid-latitude trough turns the storm sharply to the east. Despite weakening during the next day or so as the storm encounters cooler sea surface temperatures, Neoguri is expected to make landfall across Kyushu, Japan as a minimal typhoon or possible strong tropical storm, bringing with it storm surge and life-threatening possibilities for flooding and mudslides. This image was taken by the Suomi NPP satellite's VIIRS instrument around 0440Z on July 8, 2014. Website: http://www.nnvl.noaa.gov/MediaDetail2.php?MediaID=1587&MediaTypeID=1

ATLANTIC- Watching 3 Tropical Waves

ATLANTIC- Watching 3 Tropical Waves
1) A Tropical wave extends from 05 north and 36 west to 13 north and 42 west. It is moving west at 20 knots.
A Saharan air layer remains to the east and north of the wave axis somewhat limiting the development of thunderstorms and showers at this time.
2) Tropical wave extends from 05 north and 53 west to 16 north and 49 west moving west at 15-20 knots. This wave continues to coincide with a broad upper-level enlongated area of low pressure (trough) over the central Atlantic, and is also mostly embedded in a Saharan air layer - so there's no significant thunderstorm development at this time.
3) Tropical wave extends from 11 north and 94 west to 22 north and 91 west moving west at 20 knots
CENTRAL NO. PACIFIC - between 140°W and 180. No tropical cyclones are expected through Thursday morning.
NO. INDIAN OCEAN - No tropical cyclones expected in next 48 hours.
