now, if the other typhoon makes a U turn, how could this cyclone continue to the west without rapidly weakening due to increased shear?

I saw a model that Mitag could become a Category 4 before landfall. Quite impressive of a storm.

Hi Stu. Here is the model from Weather Underground where I saw it.

If you make the trip to intercept Mitag, I would like to see reports, photos, and videos.

That's not a model, that's the JTWC's forecast.

Aren't forecasts based on models?

OK I have just 8 hours before I have to press the go button and go after this storm (Of course I will share images and video to my friends here at S2K if I make the interecpt)

I need to get a handle on the track (dont we all) as it happens, if the forecast track (JTWC) comes to pass, then landfall will be over a mountain region on the East cost where there are NO ROADS !!! I am not going all that way and not being able to get the eye dure to roads.

I could do with some forecast track advise - any one care to offer up a view ??
