Remnents of Typhoon Ioke

[whereverwx]

Does anybody have a nice satellite shot of Ioke at her strongest?

Thanks,
Darren

It's kind of hard to determine when she was at her strongest, but here you go.

Ioke has certainly upwelled a lot of Pacific water:

Is there any word on whether Wake Island still exists?

Wow... pretty impressive considering the hit that island took. They musta built right!

[oceancounty]

I was also wondering about the status of Wake Island myself. I read that the US Air Force was going to send a plane to check the status of the island, but I haven't heard anything about it since then. I will post if I hear anything else.

[oceancounty]

Oh, thank you P.K. I just read the article after I had already posted the above post. I'm a little slow in the mornings! That is unbelievable though, I guess they built things nice and strong on that island!!!

[Jim Cantore]

Lucky the worst part of Ioke missed the island.

My guess is they got cat-2 to lower cat-3 winds, being in the "good" side of the eyewall.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM ADT TUE SEP 5 2006
.DISCUSSION...
AMPLIFIED PATTERN OVER THE AREA WITH A LOW OVER THE NORTHERN GULF...
A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS...AND A VERY STRONG BLOCKING
RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS EXTENDING NORTH THROUGH BRITISH
COLUMBIA AND THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES. SOUTHERN ALASKA CONTINUES IN
CYCLONIC FLOW...AND THUS MORE PERIODS OF CLOUDS AND SHOWERS...FOR
MOST OF THE WEEK AS THE GULF LOW REMAINS LOCKED IN PLACE BY THE
NORTHWEST BLOCKING RIDGE. ALSO OF NOTE IS THE EXTRA-TROPICAL
TRANSITIONING OF FORMER SUPER TYPHOON IOKE JUST EAST OF JAPAN.

THE REMNANTS OF IOKE ARE FORECAST TO LINK UP WITH AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
MOVING OFF OF SIBERIA LATER TODAY. THIS WILL RAPIDLY SPIN UP INTO A
DEEP CYCLONE AND MOVE INTO THE BERING SEA ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS ARE
IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR TIMING AND LOCATION OF THIS LOW THROUGH
THURSDAY...AND THEN START TO DIVERGE AS IT REACHES THE EASTERN
BERING SEA AND AKPEN. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL END UP IN THE NORTHERN
GULF FOR THE WEEKEND...WHERE IT WILL LIKELY STALL IN RESPONSE TO THE
NORTHWEST BLOCKING RIDGE. AFTER THIS POINT THE GFS SEEMS TO LOSE
TOUCH WITH REALITY. IN FACT ALL OF THE (FEW) OTHER MODELS THAT
FORECAST THIS FAR OUT BECOME CLUELESS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT THIS
TIME OF YEAR THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON.



Laughter aside, it appears Ioke will definitely be a formidable extratropical cyclone by the time it gets up there.

Have a look at http://khon.com/khon/displayStory.cfm?storyID=15123.

Should rename it Timex Island...takes a licking and keeps on ticking...

Ioke has become extratropical and has been finalled out-the long sojourn is over.

[JonathanBelles]

i thought it was extratropical?

[WindRunner]

Per the JTWC it is, and the appearance is most certainly that of an ET storm, however JMA (the real officials) forecast it to be ET by T+48, so it is still a typhoon as of now.

Now a STS at 60kts and Ioke is still accelerating. ET in 24 hours this time, which keeps it on the WPAC side of the dateline. It'll be a significant storm for Alaska once it does cross, though.
