The typhoon ensemble from 06z doesn't see much coming from this either...

See now the last 2 storms the 4th track was completely different so lets I say the next track will be near OKinawa.

REMARKS:
032100Z POSITION NEAR 17.3N 128.9E.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 13W (DUJUAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 550
NM SOUTH OF OKINAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHEASTWARD AT 03 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TD 13W HAS SLOWLY TURNED TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS AS A NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE
EXTENSION BUILDS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON RECENT PGTW AND RJTD POSITION FIXES. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY OF 30 KNOTS IS CONSISTENT WITH REPORTING AGENCY
DVORAK ESTIMATES RANGING FROM T=2.0 TO T=2.5 AND SCATTEROMETER DATA
SHOWING APPROXIMATELY 30 KNOT WINDS NEAR THE TROPICAL CYCLONE
CENTER. TD 13W IS SITUATED SOUTH AND WEST OF AN UPPER-LEVEL
ANTICYCLONE CENTER IN AN AREA OF MODERATE EASTERLY VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR. AS TD 13W TRACKS GRADUALLY NORTHEASTWARD UNDER THE STEERING
INFLUENCE OF THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS,
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST. THIS SHEAR SHOULD LIMIT
THE INTENSIFICATION TO A SLOW RATE THROUGH THE FIRST 36 HOURS OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. AFTER TAU 36, THE INFLUENCE OF A BUILDING
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST WILL TURN TD 13W INCREASINGLY
POLEWARD, WHILE DECREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND IMPROVED POLEWARD
OUTFLOW WILL SUPPORT A HIGHER INTENSIFICATION RATE. BEYOND TAU 96,
TD 13W WILL BEGIN TO TURN EASTWARD AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH. INCREASING WESTERLY SHEAR COULD LIMIT FURTHER
INTENSIFICATION IN THE MEDIUM TO LONG RANGE, ALTHOUGH A MORE
FAVORABLE OUTFLOW PATTERN COULD ALLOW THE TROPICAL CYCLONE TO
INTENSIFY MORE THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST INDICATES. MAXIMUM
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 031800Z IS 17 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
040300Z, 040900Z, 041500Z AND 042100Z.//

I've seen wishcasting, but this is ridiculous.

Which RADAR site are you looking at? It's in the middle of the ocean!

Weather.com and the news site said out here it has changed course now moving northwest!

There is no radar, as has been said, it's in the middle of the Pacific.

09z update from JMA has this moving NE slowly and according to them has not moved NW at all. And please can you justify all these "it's coming to Okinawa" type comments with some rational thoughts otherwise it just sounds like unsubstantiated wishcasting.

[StormingB81]

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingne ... la-Cagayan

So then this news agency must be wishcasting? And this storm has hit every single direction it can do. if you have looked at the weather from the day it has moved from the east to the west and everything inbetween.

I don't even know where to begin, really. Don't think that even justifies an explanation. Look again at the advisories, not once has a NW motion been mentioned. It's not moving NW, get over it.

"Tropical storm Labuyo (international code name: Dujuan) has changed its course and is now moving northwestward"

Thats is the first sentance in the article look it the last 3 words......now moving northwestward. Thank you.
