NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN - System 90W Still Organizing
System 90W still has an ill-defined center of circulation on satellite imagery today. Despite that, System 90W is generating a large area of strong thunderstorms (deep convection), so the Joint Typhoon Warning Center noted that it has a high chance for development into a tropical cyclone. It is centered near 6.0 north latitude and 163.7 east longitude, about 330 nautical miles east of Pohnpei in the Caroline Islands –one of the four Federated States of Micronesia.

EASTERN PACIFIC *Update and Video!*Satellite Animation Shows Formation of Tropical Storm Simon Mexico's Southwestern Coast
Mexico's western coast is again dealing with rain, wind and rough surf from another tropical storm. NOAA's GOES-West satellite saw the formation of Tropical Storm Simon on Oct. 2. A NASA animation of NOAA's GOES-West satellite imagery shows the development of Simon over three days. UPDATE and VIDEO:

NASA and NOAA scientists participating in NASA’s Hurricane and Severe Storms Sentinel (HS3) mission used their expert skills, combined with a bit of serendipity on Sept. 17, 2014, to guide the remotely piloted Global Hawk over the eye of Hurricane Edouard and release a sonde that rotated within the eye as it descended and fell into the eyewall of the storm at low levels.
