I'd be shocked if JTWC still hasn't classified this by 21Z, especially with JMA naming this already. They're running way behind on this one.

*EDIT: The NRL has Etau listed as 18W as of 18Z, meaning JTWC will have it as at least a depression.

Still a depression but should strengthen...

MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL DEPRESSION 18W (ETAU)
WARNING NR 03//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 18W (ETAU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 166 NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF IWO TO, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 11 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES INCREASING DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC) DUE TO AN IMPROVED POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL. THE
INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON VISIBLE AND ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS ASSESSED
AT 30 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 30 TO
35 KNOTS. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A GENERALLY FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND ROBUST POLEWARD
VENTING. TD 18W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR).
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TD 18W WILL CONTINUE TRACKING NORTHWARD THROUGH TAU 36 ALONG
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW- TO MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. TD
18W SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY INTENSIFY THROUGH TAU 24 UNDER
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, AFTER TAU 24 THE SYSTEM WILL
ENCOUNTER STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEP
SHORTWAVE TROUGH FORECAST TO DIG OVER WESTERN JAPAN BY TAU 24. AFTER
TAU 36, TD 18W WILL WEAKEN FURTHER AS IT MAKES LANDFALL OVER HONSHU
AND IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE BY TAU 72. THE REMNANTS OF THE SYSTEM
WILL LIKELY TRACK NORTHWESTWARD AS A LOW-LEVEL HIGH BUILDS OVER THE
EAST SEA. DYNAMIC GUIDANCE IS NOW IN GOOD AGREEMENT, THEREFORE,
THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK. HOWEVER, THERE
IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE PEAK INTENSITY DUE TO THE NARROW 24-HOUR
WINDOW OF FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. THUS FAR, THE SYSTEM HAS SLOWLY
DEVELOPED BUT NOW APPEARS TO BE SHOWING SOME INITIAL SIGNS OF
INTENSIFICATION. REGARDLESS OF PEAK INTENSITY, ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS NORTH OF 30 DEGREES NORTH LATITUDE ARE EXPECTED TO BE
HOSTILE THEREFORE RAPID WEAKENING IS ANTICIPATED PRIOR TO
LANDFALL.//

Etau isn't looking too bad this morning. The center appears near the middle of a cold CDO now, which is getting a little help with ventilation from the right entrance region of an immediately downstream jet streak. It wouldn't surprise me if this became a minimal typhoon before making landfall in Japan.

That's quite an intense microwave hook.

Image

I'd say this is a mite more than 35 kt.

Looks like a typhoon maybe even 70kts looking at it

JMA stayed at 35 kt for 00Z. Not what I would have done.

Oh look, the JTWC and JMA are handling a tropical cyclone poorly. What a surprise. :roll:

The presence of a large and nearly closed eyewall on microwave does not support a low grade tropical storm. Numerous 50-60kt wind barbs on a 0z ASCAT pass does not support a low grade tropical storm. Etau is near typhoon status this evening.

Based on microwave and ASCAT, this is at least 60 knts. Both the JMA and JTWC estimates are IMO outrageous.

That ASCAT pass even missed the most intense thunderstorms NW of the eye. I'd honestly have no issues with a 65 kt typhoon classification right now.

:uarrow: What's up with that pass? It has the center several degrees south of where it actually is.

*EDIT: nevermind, that pass is over twelve hours old, meaning that's where Etau was then. The 0202Z time at the top briefly deceived me.

Exactly, so your ASCAT image is over 12 hours old.

Pass from 3 hours ago:

That pass is from 1223Z yesterday. It's the same as this pass. Etau is not below 25*N right now like is depicted in that pass, but up near 28*N.

Structure is still great, but convection has warmed a lot. Reminds me a little bit of Mekkhala during the day just before landfall in the Philippines with how much the convection has warmed during the day while retaining great structure.
