Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
I think the 160 knots estimate is now justified... just now, given the current intensification trend.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
Agree. Meranti looks much more symmetrical now. Probably a high end T7.5. Needs a banding feature to obtain a 8.0 though.

SAB and JTWC have lately used a CDG ring with other systems, so in theory a WMG eye embedded in CDG would yield T7.0. And SAB had basically discouraged the use of BF's since 2007.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
While still an amazingly powerful typhoon, there are signs that a secondary eyewall is forming:
This may cause a temporary weakening cycle to begin within the next 24-36 hours. I must note the timing of eyewall replacement cycles are not well forecast.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
Back after a loooooong break.
This typhoon is eerily similar to Typhoon Viper in some Discovery Channel documentary I saw in YouTube Attains 160 kt strength and goes through the Bashi Channel. The documentary shows it maintain that strength hitting Hong Kong. I hope it won't follow what Viper did, even if it were fictional---it's freaking me out.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
I wonder what the 12z BT will show. Last 2 warnings had it at 160 knots and since then it has continued to organize.
AMSU at 180 knots.
Patricia got lucky it had recon.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
Well, at least AMSU/SATCON is consistent in really loving this thing. I'm actually getting Zeb '98 vibes with it at the moment.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
What a beautiful monster, yet Ian is still more discussed than Meranti . I really wish we had recon in that basin (actually in all basins), I've read somewhere that recon is going to start again on 2018.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
JMA went with CI8.0 at 12Z. Expect them to go with lower than 900 hPa.

Beat Haiyan's record in terms of pressure, and just 5 hPa (mbar) shy of Megi. Astonishing.

Where did you get that? Ian is barely discussed at all.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
I know I've said this before, but we're probably just past peak intensity now. The cold medium greys on BD are eroding again, and microwave/radar is clear in showing an outer eyewall organizing for sure now.

Re: WPAC: MERANTI - Typhoon
^ I didn't meant that though it definitely is cool to see recon there again. I was just wondering where Macrocane got the information of Ian being more discussed then this storm.
Meranti looks very beautiful but dangerous right now...
