Possible Hybrid for Japan

FIM is showing 94W spinning up in the WPAC.

Current position 4.7N 138E

Not much convection at the moment but showing good mid-level PV and a broad anti-cyclone.

Waters too cold to maintain a TC if it makes landfall on the islands.

Most likely an Extra-Trop when it gets that far north.

Either way, not good for Tokyo and surrounding areas.

Could blow and deposit a large amount of Fukushima radiation onto a large population.
