Lol, you're right, they dropped the "super" in this advisory, it was a STY 6 hours ago.

140 kts is obviously a super typhoon. I mean a cat 5! HAHA...

Maybe the personnel were just .... or they just forgot...

a perfect circular ring of very cold cloud top now surrounds the eye embedded right in the middle of a very compact typhoon ...this is way stronger than 140 knots at the moment...

I would like to point out that Francisco has been getting at least a 7.0 from ADT for over 24 continuous hours. That is very impressive.

ADT is probrably confused with the intensity as we are so they went with the lowest number a category 5 can achieve as an average when in fact this is way stronger! :lol:

WDPN33 PGTW 191500
MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR SUPER TYPHOON 26W (FRANCISCO) WARNING
NR 15//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
SUPER TYPHOON (STY) 26W (FRANCISCO), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 844 NM
SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT
07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR)
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED A SYMMETRICAL 15-NM
EYE SURROUNDED BY A SHARPLY-OUTLINED DEEP CONVECTIVE EYEWALL. THE
INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE EIR ANIMATION WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE.
THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 140 KNOTS IS BASED ON CONGRUENT
DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, RJTD, AND KNES. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES A POINT SOURCE ANTICYCLONE REMAINS OVER THE SYSTEM,
PROVIDING A HIGHLY-EFFICIENT RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW (05-10 KNOT)
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE
SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO
THE NORTHEAST.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING.
B. THROUGH TAU 72, STY 26W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ALONG ITS
CURRENT TRACK UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE STR. THE FAVORABLE
UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS, IN ADDITION TO WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES
(SSTS) WILL ENHANCE FURTHER INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS,
PEAKING AT 145 KNOTS. AFTER TAU 12, THE POSSIBLE ONSET OF AN EYEWALL
REPLACEMENT CYCLE WILL SLIGHTLY WEAKEN THE SYSTEM. THIS WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY INCREASING VWS AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE MID-LATITUDE
WESTERLIES, WHICH WILL ALSO BEGIN TO ERODE THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER,
COROLLARY TO THE INCREASED UPPER LEVEL WINDS IS ALSO INCREASED
POLEWARD OUTFLOW WHICH WILL PARTIALLY OFFSET THE VWS AND SUSTAIN THE
CONVECTION, THEREBY TEMPERING THE WEAKENING TREND.
C. AFTER TAU 72, STY FRANCISCO WILL BEGIN TO ROUND THE WESTERN
EDGE OF THE STR, ALLOWING FOR A MORE POLEWARD TRACK AND SETTING A
NORTHEASTWARD RECURVATURE. A DECREASE IN SSTS AND FURTHER INCREASE IN
VWS WILL AMPLIFY THE WEAKENING TREND THROUGH TAU 120 AS THE SYSTEM
BEGINS EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION. NUMERIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS
WIDELY SPREAD IN THE EXTENDED TAUS DUE TO VARYING SOLUTIONS TO THE
ORIENTATION AND STRENGTH OF THE STR. ALL OBJECTIVE AIDS, WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF GFDN AND NAVGEM, INDICATE RECURVATURE BUT WIDELY VARY IN
THE DEGREE OF TURN AND TRACK SPEED. THE CURRENT FORECAST REMAINS
CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS AND IS BIAS TOWARDS THE ECMWF
SOLUTION. DUE TO THE HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THE STEERING MECHANISM AT
THE EXTENDED TAUS, THE CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST REMAINS LOW. //

In contrast of those on SSD, the 8.1.5 version of CIMSS-ADT is ridiculous

So how high is the real actual intensity? That ADT analysis supports an intensity of 150 kt.

Those are estimates...If recon were to go in, they would probrably find winds of 155 knots and a central pressure of 880mb as pressure in the area is the lowest globally...

Real intensity always lead the satellite estimates in very strong tropical cyclones especially cat'5s...

dont be sure about the pressures

recon found Megi had 175 KT winds, yet the pressure was 890 mb

Incredible. I can see hot towers firing in the inner and outer bands. Can't even count them all.

not really...those high readings are very common here and in fact Typhoon Wipha earlier this month had an 11C core temp...
