NOAA Wave Height Forecast 00UTC 15 January 2016
A quick update this morning – The developing storm over the central North Pacific is still forecast to reach 948 MB over the next 18-24 hours with winds increasing 65-90 knots and seas building over 16 meters (52 feet) up to 240NM west and south of the center. By 00Z/15th seas may continue to build as high as 18 Meters (59 feet) as the storm enters the eastern North Pacific.
This storm is tracking through the main North Pacific shipping lanes and all shipping interests should stay well clear of this one.
