It has been doing so for several runs. FWIW the GFS now turns this westward after about a week, and makes it last through 384 hr, nearing Japan at the end of the run. :lol:

Here's the Dvorak estimate from CPHC...apparently the basis for upping the intensity up to 100 knots.

My guess for 11 am HST: 100 mph based on better formation. Marginal Category 2.

I agree with the t numbers...This looks like 100 to 105 knot hurricane. Once its eye clears out in the red ring forms around it it will be a cat4.

Wow. You're usually very bullish. Only 100 mph?

That Dvorak estimate was made earlier this morning. I expect further intensification throughout the day. If I were CPHC, 120 mph.

This is undoubtedly the most organized hurricane in the CPAC since the 1994 season.

Yeah I thought it was slower to develop and just starting to really form - I didn't expect this much.

Official: MAJOR hurricane Ioke. I am going to update the prediction - and it will make everyone's eyes turn.

HURRICANE IOKE DISCUSSION NUMBER 8
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI CP012006
1100 AM HST MON AUG 21 2006

HURRICANE IOKE HAS INTENSIFIED FURTHER OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS WITH AN IMPROVED EYE PRESENTATION IN THE SATELLITE IMAGES. SATELLITE AGENCY ESTIMATES RANGED FROM 90 KT TO 102 KT AND THE AODT ESTIMATE CAME IN AT 110 KT. AS A RESULT...HURRICANE IOKE HAS BEEN PUSHED UP TO 100 KT...OR CATEGORY 3 ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE WHICH MAKES IT A MAJOR HURRICANE.

IOKE IS MOVING NORTHWEST AT 11 KT SOUTHWEST OF A WEAK SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND SOUTHEAST OF A DEEPENING TROUGH IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVELS. MOST OF THE OBJECTIVE AIDS...AND ALL OF THE DYNAMIC ONES...KEEP IOKE ON A GENERAL NORTHWESTWARD TRACK THROUGH DAY 5. WITH THE INITIAL LOCATION OF IOKE SLIGHTLY NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...THE CURRENT FORECAST HAS BEEN SHIFTED NORTH SLIGHTLY AND IS CLOSE TO THE CONU FORECAST.

THE INTENSITY FORECAST CALLS FOR SLIGHT INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS PEAKING AT 115 KT...WHICH IS STRONGER AND SOONER THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. IOKE IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY WEAKEN AFTERWARD WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH SHIP AND ICON.

ALL INTERESTS IN THE VICINITY OF JOHNSTON ISLAND SHOULD IMMEDIATELY PREPARE FOR HURRICANE FORCE WINDS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INITIAL 21/2100Z 13.0N 166.3W 100 KT
12HR VT 22/0600Z 14.3N 167.6W 115 KT

NOT AN OFFICIAL FORECAST - just my prediction.

It is quite different than the CPHC/NHC prediction, taking it westward and also intensifying it even more. Yes, I am now predicting a Category 5 hurricane - and it will make it across to become Super Typhoon Ioke. It is a bit farther north than the original prediction.

Current - 13.0/166.3 - 960mb - 115mph
12 hrs - 13.5/167.8 - 941mb - 145mph
24 hrs - 14.3/171.3 - 928mb - 160mph
36 hrs - 15.1/174.4 - 927mb - 150mph
48 hrs - 15.8/177.2 - 929mb - 150mph
60 hrs - 16.5/179.8E - 924mb - 155mph
72 hrs - 17.9/176.9E - 930mb - 150mph
96 hrs - 19.4/170.4E - 941mb - 140mph
120 hrs - 21.2/164.8E - 963mb - 115mph

I don't think there is enough potential for a Cat 5 out of this.

Iniki of 1992 was the strongest central pacific storm to form in at least the last 30 years...If not 100 years. It topped out at 125 knots=145 mph.

Looking at this system I would go with 105 knots now....What would make me say cat4? I will say that when the reds form a ring around the eye...In the 85h data closes off a full ring of convection around the eye. This still gots some work.

I say 120 knots by 24 to 30 hours.

Wow . . . it's amazing what can happen when you walk out for 9 hours . . . from a minimal hurricane to a minimal major hurricane.


And you know it's slow when the CPAC has a Cat 3 before the Atlantic has even a normal hurricane. :roll:

there were 3 cat 5's in 1994.

Emilia, Gilma, and John.

Iniki is not the most intense CPAC hurricane, not close. 25mb higher than John's peak intensity
