Ex typhoon Choi-Wan is forecast to merge with a separate storm in the far southwestern Bering Sea and then dramatically deepen tonight and tomorrow morning. ECMWF has a 942 mb low off the Russian coast Thursday morning. Storm will likely wobble around and weaken significantly before crossing into Alaska water later Friday.

Ocean heatwaves are hiding months of extra warming
