Aside from Okinawa, this could be a very serious problem for North and South Korea. (Not that we'd know what the situation would be like in North Korea.) But if the track shifts east, this could be South Korea's worst typhoon since Super Typhoon Maemi in 2003.

And JWTC has Bolaven as a typhoon in Liaoning/Jilin provinces China - this is insane
Going to be a very interesting landfall in a few days

Any updates on the intensity of this one? The last update was at 18:00 UTC, which was a long time ago.

Daito Islands are now reporting Tropical Storm-force winds of around 65kph and the system is still roughly 300km away!! :eek: :double:

also, JTWC confirming my hunch yesterday of an eyewall replacement cycle.. eye still looks amazing though, let's see how Bolaven reacts with this replacement... :roll:

wow very impressive typhoon, just shy of becoming a super typhoon! as others have said, dvorak isn't too reliable and should not be a method to use to determine the intensity of a tropical cyclone especially strong ones...dvorak is very poor and are always on the low side...too bad there isn't any recon in the west pacific anymore!

REMARKS:
250300Z POSITION NEAR 23.8N 131.8E.
TYPHOON 16W (BOLAVEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM SOUTHEAST OF
KADENA AB, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE PAST
SIX HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 250000Z IS 50 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 250900Z, 251500Z, 252100Z AND 260300Z. REFER TO

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TYPHOON 16W (BOLAVEN) WARNING NR 21//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TYPHOON (TY) 16W (BOLAVEN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM SOUTHEAST
OF KADENA AB, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDS WRAPPING TIGHTLY INTO A 15-NM RAGGED EYE. A
242105Z CORIOLIS MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS UNDERGOING
EYEWALL REPLACEMENT AND LENDS HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE INITIAL
POSITION. THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE HIGH SIDE OF DVORAK
ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES
THE SELF-INDUCED MESOSCALE ANTICYCLONE ALOFT IS PROVIDING EXCELLENT
RADIAL OUTFLOW. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTH,
ANCHORED JUST EAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TY 16W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIMETER
OF THE STR THROUGH TAU 48. THE FAVORABLE OUTFLOW IN ADDITION TO
EXPECTED LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL ALLOW TY 16W TO FURTHER
INTENSIFY PEAKING AT 135 KNOTS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. BETWEEN TAU
36 AND 72, DECREASING OCEAN HEAT CONTENT WILL WEAKEN THE SYSTEM BUT
WILL BE OFFSET BY INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW FROM AN APPROACHING DEEP
LONG WAVE TROUGH.
C. AFTER TAU 72, TY 16W SHOULD TRACK NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AS IT
ROUNDS THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE STR, MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE WESTERN
COAST OF NORTH KOREA AND COMMENCE EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION. AFTER
LANDFALL, THE SYSTEM WILL RAPIDLY DECAY DUE TO FRICTIONAL EFFECTS AND
ITS REMNANTS WILL BE A COLD CORE LOW BY END OF FORECAST PERIOD.
DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT UP TO TAU 120.
THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK FORECAST. //

I kinda miss Infdidoll's reports when typhoons of this proportion come to Okinawa. :lol: Looks like this storm is going to be one of the worst typhoons to pass over the island. Yeah given Okinawa is a sturdy concrete jungle but if you have a possible supertyphoon moving at a slow pace then that would be hell. There lies hope if the EWRC will weaken the storm a bit, though so far the EWR doesn't affect much of Bolaven's intensity. In fact the eye looks intense still!

I wonder if Bolaven becomes a violent typhoon (≥105 knots) before making landfall over Okinawa Island.

JTWC has a much higher current and predicted intensity than JMA peaking at up to 135kn sustained

Man, Tembin was really a long arduous slog to cover, exhausted, so decided to chill out on this nearby Japanese island called Okinawa which I heard is really nice place... :wink:

Is it a Category 5? Because Wikipedia is saying that it's a Category 5 typhoon. If it's not a Category 5, is there any chance it would become one?

We just got to our new home in Virginia (and finally got a reliable internet connection - yay!), but I am still keeping in contact with a few good friends out there. I'm feeling really bad for the wives of the guys in my husband's old unit. Their husbands are all deployed on the boat, right now, so they're all going to be facing this alone or with kids. I'm trying not to scare them to death, but this one might have me a little on edge. Of course, since the 'danger' chip in my brain seems to be defective, of course I wish I was there.

Maybe I'll see if any of them want to give us updates. It might help calm some nerves. The funny thing is that I told them they never need to worry unless I tell them, "Hey, that typhoon hunting guy is coming here!"

Well, James is now there so let the hysteria begin, I suppose. :wink:

That is my biggest worry. Okinawa will see some damage (though likely very little loss of life), but for Korea, this is really bad news.

Stay safe, James, and others in the path of this storm!
