Re: 2015 TCRs
I knew Danny was probably a slight underestimate given the altitude and the 104 kt SFMR (supports 105 kt) but I wasn't really thinking it had already peaked at the time. I know operationally NHC had it at 90 kt at that time, probably admitting it was conservative.
Except for the parts west of 140W (which will likely take a long time), the storms remaining: Erika, Jimena, Olaf, Patricia, Sandra
I think Patricia is definitely the most awaited of them.

Re: 2015 TCRs
Erika is the last report to be finished? I honestly expected Joaquin to take the longest (and yet there were 4-5 unfinished when it came out.)

I think Patricia will be last. Although Olaf might be last as well due to its double-handover since the NHC will need to let the CPHC do more as it re-entered the NHC jurisdiction.

agreed--that one station was very interesting. Did anyone ever find out the story about that? The data it sent seemed to indicate it was broken and being dragged along the ground but after the storm passed and was gone, it seemed to be reporting normally.

Landfall down to 150mph cat 4

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
this may give credence to my theory that Haiyan winds did reach the 185kt range

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
Incredible. I knew it was likely stronger than 175 kt. It mentions that Patricia may have passed Tip, but they couldn't give it the record as there was no Recon at 1200Z. As for comparisons to Haiyan, those are apples and oranges. Maybe Haiyan was 190 kt or more at peak? Unfortunately we will never know.
As for landfall, I knew it was borderline between Cat 4 and Cat 5. It notes that it was highly uncertain. The Chamela wind observation was discarded as it was deemed unreliable, and 932mb was probably not a Cat 5. They could have probably gone anywhere between 115 kt and 145 kt for the landfall intensity.

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
Wow crazy how this storm was very close to surpassing Tip. In the report it showed a graph of the water anomalies in the region Patricia past and it was an all time high.

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
Didn't expect this, although both the reduction in landfall winds and increase to 185 are justifiable.

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
185 kt ties Nancy '61 for the highest winds in any best track winds, and 872 mb is two man off from tying Tip, putting Patricia comfortably in second place in best track pressure. Pretty remarkable storm.

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
I was able to visit NHC last week and the guy writing it told me there were a couple of surprises. He was not kidding. 872 mb is amazing.

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
For all we know, Tip may have indeed fallen and Patricia may have gone into the 860s.
At 0510Z, the pressure was 892. By 0555Z it had fallen to 886 and by about 0645Z it fell to 880 - a drop of 12 mb in just over 90 minutes. If that trend is maintained to 1200Z, the minimum pressure would be an absolutely insane 853mb. That is probably unrealistic, but somewhere in the high 860s is not unreasonable. Unfortunately, the data is not conclusive enough to support such.

did not expect the landfall downgrade but if the station was unreliable, I can accept that!

Re: 2015 TCRs: PATRICIA report is up
Patricia is almost on par with Super Typhoon Tip in terms of central pressure. Tip had 190 mph winds, while Patricia had 215 mph winds. Tip was much larger than Patricia.
