Tropical Storm Emily dissipated after being disrupted by the mountains of Hispaniola but according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), may revive again within a couple days while moving toward the northwest. The TRMM rainfall analysis on the right, from a TRMM orbit on 4 August 2011 at 0934 UTC ( 5:34 AM EDT), shows that heavy rainfall was being produced by the dissipating storm over southern Haiti and the Dominican Republic at that time.

The TRMM satellite saw tropical storm Emily again on 4 August 2011 at 0122 UTC (9:22 PM EDT). An analysis of TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data showed that Emily was dropping heavy rainfall of over 50mm/hr (~2 inches) south of the Dominican Republic and produce some showers in Haiti. Life threatening flooding and landslides are possible as Emily moves slowly westward.

Typhoon Muifa had wind speeds of about 95 kts (~109 mph) when the TRMM satellite passed above on 3 August 2011 at 1307 UTC. Muifa is now predicted to pass just to the south of the Japanese Island of Okinawa. The southern tip of the Okinawa is expected to be in the right front quadrant of the typhoon on 5 August 2011 where the highest winds are normally located. TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data were used in the rainfall analysis shown on the right. See earlier TRMM information about typhoon Muifa.
