Both are within the realm of possibility, though for JMA's forecast to verify the system would need to start rapidly intensifying soon and continue it for 48hr.

Climatologic intensification rates are about 1 T number a day. Based on the current SAB and JTWC classifications of 3.5, in 48hr it would be at 5.5 ~ 100kt.

JMA's forecast hinges on the current core-building process. If it's successful, they're going to look real good. If this one fails too, it'll fall short of their forecast. Based on the last two hour trend on IR, Koppu is definitely doing work right now, but it remains to be seen if it can finish. The 1436Z GPM pass I posted above has the center at about 15.75*N, and I don't think the center has appreciably gained latitude since then. The coldest cloudtops are currently bulldozing north around the backside of the center, which is a healthy sign for the storm. The northern part of the mega-cold sub -90*C overshoot might actually be pretty close to the center right now.

Looks like Koppu is running slower than the forecast points in the near term.

VIIRS nighttime visible got Koppu a couple of hours ago. Check out the gravity waves in the northern part of the CDO.

JMA actually got even more aggressive with their intensity forecast, going up to 100 kt within 24 hours. Based on what is going on right now, I wouldn't go against them.

Looks like it's trying to develop dual outflow channels.

I know I've been negative on this storm but it still doesn't look that symmetric and organized to my untrained eyes. Though I am just looking at the peripherals and not at what's going on deeper into the cold cloud cover..

Still looks sheared IMO, with the LLCC located just north of the CCC.
There's still that possibility that Koppu can bomb out into something big if it manage to align itself.

The worst thing about this system is its rainfall. If JTWC's forecast track holds true, it could easily match Parma's total rain accumulation in 2009.

Do you have the data of the rainfall that Parma brought? Agree that the biggest threat will be the copious amounts of rain this slow moving system will dump.

The center looks very near the overshoot to me. If anything, it's a little to the southeast. Either way, Koppu is aligned vertically, and that overshoot is a legit hot tower.

Himawari-8 Rapid Scan of Koppu

Looking at microwave, it might be a pinhole candidate (although we might not be able to tell until the sun goes down).

Yeah conditions will become more favorable but i find it hard to believe that it will rapidly intensify before landfall like what the models are hinting given it's current but improving structure.

The Philippine sea is the number 1 spot globally for these rapidly intensifying monsters...

Let's see what happens...

WDPN31 PGTW 160300
MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TYPHOON 24W (KOPPU) WARNING NR 13//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TYPHOON (TY) 24W (KOPPU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 370 NM EAST OF
MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 07 KNOTS OVER THE PAST
SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) CONTINUES
TO SHOW DEEPENED CONVECTIVE BANDING OBSCURING THE LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE MSI AND
SATELLITE FIXES FROM PGTW AND RJTD WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY OF 80 KNOTS IS BASED ON THE CURRENT STRUCTURE AND
CORRESPONDING DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T4.5 (77 KNOTS) FROM
PGTW AND RJTD. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES TY 24W REMAINS IN A
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND RADIAL
OUTFLOW AS EVIDENT OF THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. TY 24W IS TRACKING
ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP-LAYERED STR EXTENSION, WITH
THE STR ANCHORED FAR TO THE NORTHEAST.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC
REASONING MESSAGE. HOWEVER, DUE TO SIGNIFICANT SPREAD AMONG
AVAILABLE TRACKERS, THERE IS A CHANGE IN FORECAST TRACK IN THE
EXTENDED TAUS. SEE PARAGRAPH 3.C. FOR DETAILS.
B. TY KOPPU WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK WESTWARD THROUGH TAU 48 ALONG
THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING STR EXTENSION. UPPER-LEVEL
AND ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE, LEADING TO
RAPID INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS WITH A PEAK INTENSITY
OF 115 KNOTS BY TAU 36. BEYOND THAT, THE SYSTEM WILL MAKE LANDFALL
AND BEGIN DECAYING OVER LUZON.
C. BEYOND TAU 72, TY 24W WILL SLOW AND TURN POLEWARD DUE TO A
SLIGHT BREAK IN THE STR. ADDITIONALLY, THE TERRAIN OF LUZON WILL
CONTINUE TO DECAY THE SYSTEM THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD AS IT RE-EMERGES INTO THE LUZON STRAIT. MODEL GUIDANCE
REMAINS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 48, BUT CONTINUES TO SHOW
SIGNIFICANT SPREAD AFTER TAU 48. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE STORM
MOTION AND DISPARITY AMONG AVAILABLE TRACKERS IN THE EXTENDED TAUS,
THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST CONFIDENCE LEVEL REMAINS LOW.//

Based on the structure, I'd be very surprised if this didn't reach Cat 5.

SAB has this at T3.5/T4.0, but with a curbed band pattern. Given the tick CDO, thi slooks around T5.0 from a CDO pattern. This is likely 85 or 90 knots IMO.
