Winds are taking this north I believe. The northeastern side of this storm looks like it's going to hit S.E AK. and the eye will probably follow. www.weatheroffice.gc.ca...
The winds are supposed to ramp up in the next couple of hours.

No biggie other than this circular formation being infrequent up here.

Ground zero, standing by. Lets she what she brings.

Check back into the Alaskan weather systems more frequently, this is quite common.

It also is called a tropical cyclone if: "Those that form due to organized thunderstorm activity over the water which acquire a well-defined circulation are called tropical cyclones."

Hope that adds a little insight.

Also if you watch Deadliest Catch on Discovery these systems seem to come up quite often.

It is a hurricane in a sense, but hurricane is reserved for storms that originate in tropical waters.

The correct name for it is simply a low pressure system, and they happen all the time (im being affected by one now). The typically take the form of a circular storm, and eye walls can often be present, but they are definently not hurricanes

Hope this helps
