No rest for the Wpac, and after Son-tinh to be, GFS has for a few runs now spawned a TC out in the long term passing through the Marianas. Worth keeping an eye on those runs.

this very active and destructive season has come to a complete stop...EURO doesn't develop anything in the near future.. the MJO won't be returning to this area of the world anytime soon...plenty of time left before we can breath a sigh of relief before our season ends in January 1, 2013 at 12:00 am...

^actually GFS has been consistent in showing another TC formation in the Philippine Sea early next week...their current track for the phantom storm is very similar to Son Tinh's...

I wouldn't want to question Euro though...we are currently in the dry phase of MJO so maybe that's why it shows no sign of cyclone genesis....BUT who knows, Son Tinh came without the MJO in the WPAC/SCS. :lol:

This is a neutral year and we already obtained an average ACE, even higher than 2009 when we last had a moderate El Nino.

oh mother

GFS been showing another one this year for some runs now.

Image

this is the latest GFS run.

all of us in here are hoping that Bopha would be our last this year. and the setting is so no good for any part of the country, given that if this happens, it will fall within around Christmas. i hope we could jinx this now hah...there is still cold dry air all over the area.

^what the hell does that mean? :lol: i'm thinking of a very huge tropical wave right there. that is some huge amount, i am more used to cold, calm and dry Western Pacific in late December. Maybe we are now in a wet phase of the MJO?


GFS run still shows a tropical cyclone tracking towards PI, and 00z shows it still heading towards Visayas then southern Luzon.

usually Euro is the first model to hint significant TC development before GFS or anyone else and they get it right even at long range. This year though it's not anymore the case. But yeah it's good to see agreement among the models first to make this scenario more believable. Besides you don't have to rely on one model alone, for example the Euro. :lol:

GFS won again with Wukong hitting PI on Christmas day. but the streak of possible system continues with GFS hinting another system east of Visayas after New Year.

which could very well happen due to a moderate/strong mjo that is forecast to move through our area...

this is exciting to have a late ending to this season and next year should start off quickly :D
