Hurricane update - 31 July

Tropical storm Chantal has formed 330 miles south of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is moving rapidly northeast. It is NOT a threat to the USA. It is expected, however, to impact southeastern Newfoundland (view the latest warning from the Canadian hurricane center here), and will move across the Atlantic as a powerful storm. Chantal will quickly lose characteristics of a tropical system, and turn into an 'ordinary' Atlantic depression.

Typhoon Usagi is likely to make landfall in Kyushu, Japan, on Thursday, with winds of 125 mph.
