Tropical Storm Sinlaku 2026

Live tracking map, satellite, radar, and forecasts of Tropical Storm Sinlaku 2026 in the western Pacific Ocean. Current wind speed 95km/h. Max 285km/h.

Sinlaku is located 1491 km northwest of Wake Island, and has tracked eastward at 39 km/h (21 knots) over the past 6 hours. Minimum central pressure at 19/18:00 UTC is 986 hPa. Maximum significant wave height is 9.1 meters (30 feet).

Infrared imagery shows an elongated low-level circulation center exposed in all but the northeast quadrants. Convective activity is evident along a developing warm front extending east from the LLCC, a certain indicator of the ongoing extratropical transition process.

The environmental conditions are highly unfavorable for tropical cyclone development, however, they are conducive to sustaining the extratropical low in the near term (primarily due to strong poleward outflow and baroclinic forcing).

Sinlaku is forecast to continue on a rapid eastward trajectory as it completes extratropical transition in the next 12 hours, and will maintain that trajectory through the end of the forecast period.

The gale force wind field is expected to remain broad throughout the forecast period, with maximum sustained winds slowly decreasing to 85 km/h (45 knots) in 24 hours.

Model guidance is in tight agreement about the storm track, intensity, and extratropical transition scenario.

This is the final warning on this system by JTWC. The system will be closely monitored for signs of regeneration.
