Here’s a great article about the effects that typhoon Nuri is likely to have on weather in North America:

Parts of Alaska are forecast to experience hurricane force winds and seas of 45 ft or higher in the coming days! And then the system could contribute to unseasonably cold weather for the midwest and east coast.

A great thing. I sure wish I had something like this when I was fishing George’s bank in the 70’s. It will be fun to check now and then.
