How big can a cyclone possiblity ever get in the Western Pacific.

1# Tropical storm force winds
2# Cloud area

I mean perfect everything is there to make a super cyclone, super low shear, perfect outflow in all quads, warmer then normal waters. A el nino like 92 or 97 to top it off with warm western Pacific waters.

Almost a shear less western pacific below 40 north, because of a high pushing storms almost to the north pole.

I'm just interested in this.

Go to the JTWC web site and check out the 1979 ATCR .pdf file and look at STY Tip-It's doubtful that one could get a storm too much stronger and larger than that one.
