Wow, I was not aware the JMA was going so bullish on it... almost NEVER have I seen JMA forecast such.
There's already an eye-type feature evident on Microwave imagery, and strong upper diffluence; in addition, there is currently low shear and strong dual outflow jets from a monsoonal trough to the south, and polar outflow enhancement from a strong baroclinic system to the north.
What I'm doubting though is the fact that the same system will begin to shear Yutu in about 72 hours. However, it's got that compact, fist look that can precede rapid intensification in developing systems, so it's worth watching.
EDIT: My mistake, I thought JMA forecasted sustained winds of 105 kt, did not see that was gust. Much more realistic now

I think Yutu has peaked; it will likely weaken from here. It got to Cat 2 strength, not bad, pretty much what was expected. The outflow pattern was really good but the environment surrounding the storm was most likely characterized by significant amounts of dry air which hindered the storm's ability to wrap deep convection around itself for any extended period of time.
