There was recently a 15 kt bump in intensity in 6 hours, from 75 to 90 kts.

Dolphin is struggling a bit today from what appears to be mid-level dry air intrusion. This is problematic because the smaller cores such as Dolphin has are much more susceptible to falling apart in adverse conditions. Over the coming days, the cyclone is expected to grow in size, further increasing the odds for dry air to be pulled into the circulation. That said, shear is expected to become even more favorable during that time, and dry air usually has a harder time influencing a storm in a low shear setting.

* FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING

* TYPHOON DOLPHIN WILL BRING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAIN FALL.
NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION MODELS INDICATE AT LEAST 4

IN LOW-LYING AREAS COULD START TAKING ON WATER.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED. IF ANY STORM DRAINS NEAR
YOU ARE CLOGGED WITH DEBRIS...CLEAN THEM OUT TO MINIMIZE THE
IMPACTS OF ANY FLOODING.

The Guam NWS radar will be a good tool to look at as the bands of rain and the eye move thru.

Strongest typhoon to ever hit Guam was way back in 1962 when Karen struck with winds of 135 knots. Pongsona of 2002 and Paka of 1997 struck with winds of 130 knots...

Can Dolphin become the strongest ever?

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TYPHOON 07W (DOLPHIN) WARNING NR 29//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TYPHOON (TY) 07W (DOLPHIN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 526 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF ANDERSEN AFB, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 08
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY (EIR) DEPICTS THE SYSTEM HAS LOST THE EYE FEATURE, BUT STILL
SHOWS TIGHTLY-CURVED BANDS WRAPPING INTO A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER. A 131631Z NOOA-19 MICROWAVE IMAGE ALSO REVEALS CURVED
CONVECTIVE BANDING WITH THE BULK OF THE DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE EIR
LOOP, PGTW SATELLITE FIX AND AFOREMENTIONED MICROWAVE IMAGE WITH
GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS AT 90 KNOTS BASED ON
CONGRUENT DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND KNES.
UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES TYPHOON DOLPHIN HAS MOVED INTO AN
AREA OF LOW TO MODERATE 10 TO 20 KNOT VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BEING
OFFSET BY THE DUAL OUTFLOW CHANNELS. THE CYCLONE IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF AN ELONGATED SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTH.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS, AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH PASSING TO THE
NORTH WILL CAUSE A BREAK IN THE STR, MODIFYING AND SLIGHTLY SHIFTING
TY 07W NORTHWESTWARD. IN ADDITION TO THE WARM SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES, UPPER-LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE,
LEADING TO FURTHER INTENSIFICATION.
C. IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, THE MODIFIED STR IS EXPECTED TO REBUILD
AND REORIENT TO THE EAST ALLOWING TYPHOON 07W TO TURN POLEWARD. THIS
POLEWARD TRACK WILL EXPOSE THE CYCLONE TO INCREASED UPPER-LEVEL
WIND FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES, TRIGGERING
RAPID INTENSIFICATION AND REACHING SUPER TYPHOON STRENGTH. DYNAMIC
MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST, WHICH IS POSITIONED CLOSE TO MULTI-MODEL
CONSESUS.//

Interesting stats...

Since records began in 1945, we have been typhoon free in the months of February through June.

Dolphin will be the earliest typhoon on record with the exception of Typhoon Roy of 1988 which passed near Guam...

Maybe I'm misinterpreting your post, but there have been numerous typhoons prior to Dolphin.

I plotted February to May typhoons for reference.

Dolphin is kind of weak looking now. But, it should sustain itself with all the moisture it has to work with. Some more intensification before arriving near Guam cannot be ruled out. There is some dry air that could keep it in check depending on how resistant the storm is. We will see over the next couple of hours.

Yes that stat was for typhoons affecting and hitting Guam. You are right as there have been numerous typhoons.

If you count Roy of 1992 then Dolphin will be just the 2nd ever typhoon to affect us since records began in 1945 but literally just the first during the months of Feb to June.

Typhoon Dolphin not only has big circulation, outflow and banding but the core has been increasing in size dramatically over the past several hours, having a gale-force wind radius of approximately 240 (450) nautical miles, or 480 nm (900 km) in diameter per the latest JMA warning. Structure is improving a lot as well.

Winds and pressure here are in JTWC 1-min standards
