An intense 937 mb storm over the west-central North Pacific is producing winds of 60-75 knots and significant wave heights to 17 meters (about 56 feet) within 90 to 240 nm southwest of the center and within 120 nm northeast of the front north of 45 North. This system is in the main shipping lanes to/from the US West Coast and Asia and will likely cause some shipping delays.
