Never thought this might be our last storm of this monster season!
All models are developing something near the dateline varying in strength and location but generally agree on it moving westward across poor Micronesia and near the Marianas.
It's going to be a close call whether this becomes our last storm of 2015 or first for 2016...

Re: 2015 WPAC Season
JTWC 2015 Best Track data is now out. I've only looked at Halola, Kilo, Mekkhala, and Higos so far, but there are some changes in there, most notably Higos being bumped up to a 130 kt super typhoon. I might edit this post as I continue to go through the data and find noteworthy revisions.
Maysak up to 150 kt.
Molave remained a tropical storm the entire time, never becoming subtropical.
Goni given a slight bump to 120 kt (on two occasions) and estimated to have maintained category 4 intensity for a longer period of time while near Japan.
Dujuan only given a 5 kt bump to 130 kt. That was one I was quite curios to see how it was handled in postseason analysis.
Champi pulled down 5 kt to 125 kt, stripping it of super typhoon status.
Maysak up to 150 kt.
