strengthens to a 40 knot tropical storm...kai-tak is either going to brush extreme northern luzon or make landfall but after, hong kong might be in big trouble once again with a typhoon at landfall...

i didn't even know how bad the flooding was in the philippines until i watched TFC, a philippine based news company..it showed tremendous flooding damage...outflow from kai-tak is already affecting this devastated region...barely any news on this on international news networks :roll:

bad news for china especially for the philippines...

WDPN31 PGTW 131500
MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI/JTWC//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL STORM 14W (KAI-TAK) WARNING
NR 05//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 12 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
A. TROPICAL STORM (TS) 14W (KAI-TAK), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 290 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.
ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE CENTRAL CONVECTION HAS FURTHER DEEPENED
AS A MESOSCALE ANTICYCLONE DEVELOPED OVER THE SYSTEM
.
THE INITIAL
POSITION IS EXTRAPOLATED FROM A 131141Z SSMI-S MICROWAVE IMAGE.
INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE HIGH END OF DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM
PGTW, RJTD, AND KNES. TS 14W LIES EQUATORWARD OF AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE
AXIS IN AN AREA OF LOW TO MODERATE (10-15 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
(VWS) AND STRONG EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. POLEWARD OUTFLOW TOWARD A WEAK
UPPER LEVEL LOW TO THE NORTHEAST HAS ALSO PERSISTED.
THE CYCLONE
CONTINUES TO TRACK WESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A
DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TD 14W IS EXPECTED TO TURN NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS
IN RESPONSE TO A WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE INDUCED
BY A SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST AND MOVING INTO
THE EAST CHINA SEA. MODERATE VWS WILL TEMPER IMPROVED UPPER-LEVEL
OUTFLOW TO HOLD INTENSIFICATION TO A SLOW RATE EARLY IN THE FORECAST
PERIOD. HOWEVER, SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO RELAX AFTER TAU 36 AS THE
SYSTEM APPROACHES THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS.

C. AFTER TAU 72, TS KAI-TAK IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING
ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE CURRENT STEERING RIDGE, MAKING
LANDFALL BEFORE TAU 96. DECREASING OCEAN HEAT CONTENT AND
INCREASINGLY RESTRICTED POLEWARD OUTFLOW SHOULD CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO
WEAKEN SLIGHTLY PRIOR TO LANDFALL. TS 14W WILL DISSIPATE RAPIDLY
AFTER LANDFALL. THE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. WBAR
REMAINS THE LEFT OUTLIER BUT ECMWF AND NOGAPS DEPICT AN
UNLIKELY POLEWARD TRACK THAT WOULD CARRY THE STORM INTO THE CURRENT
STEERING RIDGE. THIS FORECAST LIES SLIGHTLY EQUATORWARD OF THE
NUMERICAL MODEL CONSENSUS, CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT ANALYSIS AND
PROGNOSIS OF THE STEERING PATTERN. GIVEN THE INCREASING AGREEMENT OF
THE OBJECTIVE AID PACKAGE, TRACK FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH. //

looks like center is right under the deep convection...steady strengthening is possible or possibly even rapid if the shear relaxes...dvorak already at 3.5

Anyone here able who was able to record the daily accumulated rainfall over Metro Manila since Aug 7?
Thanks

These cloudtops are FRIGID. Looks like the coldest ones are -85°C at least. Although the winds are weak, this storm is VERY impressive. How often do you see this big blotch of white with BLACK in the middle on the rainbow imagery? :D :D :D :D :D

Looks like centre is displaced to NE of that big ball of monster convection, so Kai-tak is feeling the shear. However shear is expected to drop and it'll be interesting to see how quickly the storm can consolidate in a more favourable environment. The convection associated with the storm has been constantly impressive for the last 36 hours.

Regarding flooding in Philippines, here's what I shot last week in Manila:

this looks like a very exposed center with most deep convection to its SW. though it seems there might just be another circulation under that CDO feature, but that's what I only assume.

Sadly, that is actually a CCC.

What's a CCC? Do you mean the CDO is covering an LLC?

I can clearly see an exposed LLC on latest visible satellite imagery here - http://cwb.gov.tw/V7e/observe/satellite/Sat_H_EA.htm?type=1#

Cheers!

Central Cold Cover... Looks good on IR but doesnt necessarily translate to intensification underneath it...

Thanks Pat, I agree with you. I don't think it's a CCC/CDO, just extremely vigorous convection displaced to the south. However shear is plummeting according to CIMMS charts so it should start consolidating. Models all over the place still which isn't helpful!

Please swing directly north now! That massive burst of convection will be too damaging if it heads to west.

i think that's how sheared storms look like especially when they're thriving to get itself together. ketsana was a sheared and disorganized TS before it hit Luzon, and i remember most of its deep convection are displaced south of its main center, and tha affected Manila and other southern Luzon provinces.


the issue now would be the displaced convection, even though the center misses land, the heaviest precipitation might spread out towards Luzon. :|

Looking at latest visible sat images it now looks like the LLC has migrated to the south beneath the northern part of the convective blob. That blow up really is amazing and has sustained itself for a good on 24 hours now. Watch out Luzon...

yup i noticed that too, latest AMSU MWI seems to suggest it has moved back in as well.. that and the weakening wind shear should be an interesting 12 to 24 hours for Kai-Tak, let's see if it can intensify quickly...
