WPAC: MALAKAS - Post-Tropical

#1 Postby 1900hurricane » Thu Sep 08, 2016 10:23 am

A new invest has been designated to the east in the basin, out near the Marshall Islands. Guidance isn't particularly excited about the invest at the time, but it does appear that it is beginning to be picked up in the solutions. I think chances are decent that it could develop into at least a tropical storm as it moves to the west towards the Marianas.

Interestingly, GFS is much more crazy with this and stalls a strengthening typhoon near Okinawa...

AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90W) HAS PERSISTED NEAR
11.5N 162.6E, APPROXIMATELY 338 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF KAWAJALEIN.
ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A RAGGED AND
ELONGATED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) EMBEDDED IN FLARING,
SHALLOW, AND DISORGANIZED CONVECTION. A 081047Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS THE
SYSTEM BEGINNING TO CONSOLIDATE WITH 15-20 KNOT WINDS WRAPPING
AROUND THE LLCC. THE DISTURBANCE IS LOCATED IN A MARGINAL
ENVIRONMENT WITH MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHERLY (20-25 KNOT) VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR AND STRONG EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE IS
MIXED WITH SOME MODELS SHOWING DEVELOPMENT OVER THEN NEXT 24-36
HOURS AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS WEST-NORTHWEST. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE
WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS LOW.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 11.5N 162.6E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.1N 161.7E, APPROXIMATELY
85 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF UJELANG, MARSHALL ISLANDS. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH FLARING DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE
CENTER. A 082233Z AMSU 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICTS FRAGMENTED
BANDING WRAPPING INTO A BROAD BUT DEFINED LLCC. THE DISTURBANCE
IS LOCATED IN A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW TO MODERATE (10-20
KNOT) NORTHERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND WEAK EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW.
GLOBAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS MIXED WITH SOME MODELS SHOWING SOME
DEVELOPMENT OVER THEN NEXT 72 HOURS AS THE DISTURBANCE TRACKS
WESTWARD. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20
KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB.
DUE TO THE DEFINED LLCC WITH AN EXPECTED IMPROVEMENT IN
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO
MEDIUM.

NAVGEM takes a weak wave through the middle portion of the Marianas. CMC takes a possible typhoon to Guam then devours Okinawa.

EURO suddenly dissipates this with little to no strengthening west of Guam and gets swallowed by another storm.

GFS bottoms this to 929mb and landfalls in Japan yet again...Honshu.

The 12Z ECMWF-HiRes from the 9th takes
it just south of Guam Monday and Monday night. It then brings yet
another disturbance near on Thursday night. The GFS washes out the
Monday disturbance bringing it through as a weak trough, however
it agrees on the somewhat more robust disturbance later. The only
difference is it brings it through Thursday rather than Thursday
night. That`s why we are increasing the clouds Thursday, we may
have to up the showers if this kind of agreement keeps up.

I am somewhat surprised to see JTWC go with medium today since there's still so much organization that needs to happen for this to have a hope of classification. If you squint really hard at the latest microwave pass, you can maybe make out some very shallow banding on the east side...maybe.

At least in the GFS's case, the solutions have kept 90W following Meranti too close and having it nailed by an outflow channel. It may take a Meranti landfall for 90W to get going.

Visually though, 90W does appear better organized now than 12-24 hours ago. JTWC's medium is much more realistic now in my opinion.

More rain...

An approaching tropical disturbance will bring scattered showers
to the Marianas early this week. The circulation, centered to the
east-southeast of Guam near 12N150E, will slowly move westward
over the next couple of days. As it approaches the Marianas,
expect scattered showers to begin to move into the area Monday
morning, mainly over Guam and Rota. These showers will spread
northward through the day Monday. As the system continues to move
west, away from the islands, shower coverage will decrease to
isolated. unsettled conditions will remain over the area,
resulting in thunderstorms through the end of the week.

WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 18 TO 23 KNOTS. METSAT

#20 Postby 1900hurricane » Sun Sep 11, 2016 4:20 pm

Guidance has been progressively getting stronger with 18W as it passes east of Taiwan. JTWC actually looks like they want to stay ahead of that trend. I haven't gotten a chance to see how favorable environmental conditions will look around that time, but it probably won't be too drastically different than what it looks/will look with Meranti, especially since 18W won't have to deal with Meranti's outflow like it is currently.
