Usually a system with an eye like that on a microwave image is stronger than 45 knots.

are the Big 10 replay officials writing the JTWC warnings? Seriously, they are not doing any better than the IMD! (we may see IMD try and do a better job on this in a few days) This has not weakened based upon conventional and microwave imagery

that looks like a 65KT typhoon on visible and a 55KT storm on IR. I'd go with 60KT. Then again, I saw Indiana score the disallowed TD yesterday, so maybe I need thicker glasses...

Your glasses are probably fine. 60 KTS makes sense to me.

From Accuweather:

Tropical Storm Mirinae will strike Vietnam Monday. Mirinae passed through the Philippines on Saturday, producing flooding and wind damage. More than a dozen deaths in the Philippines are blamed on Mirinae.

Mirinae is expected to make landfall near Tuy Hoa in southern Vietnam. However, heavy rain will affect a wide area. Five to 10 inches of rain is expected across the southern two thirds of Vietnam. There will be an area that receives more than 10 inches. Fortunately, the tropical storm will pass quickly.

Winds of 50-60 mph are expected along the track of Mirinae. Winds of this magnitude are strong enough to produce localized damage. A storm surge of 1-3 feet will produce some coastal flooding.

Like the Philippines, Vietnam is reeling form frequent tropical storms and typhoons this year. Typhoon Ketsana, for example, was blamed for more than 100 deaths in Vietnam after killing almost 1,000 in the Philippines.

The biggest threat posed by Mirinae will be flooding. Rainfall amounts have been heavy across Vietnam in recent weeks. So, it will not take much rain to trigger flooding.

ding ding ding we have a winner

seriously, whoever wrote 45KT should not be allowed within 100 light years of a forecasting desk ever again

I don't think the 90KT estimate is much better than JTWCs... I can see a 4.0, though it looks like a 3.5+ to me

We live in NE Cambodia at 13.44 and 107. What kinds of things should we expect from Mirinae. It looks like there is a moisture laden radial arm north of the center that will dump lots of rain on the same wathershed that received Ketsana's deluge a few weeks ago (in the mountains west of Danang). That rain brought much suffering to the tribal people we work with living along the rivers of NE Cambodia. Should we expect something similar?
Or will the SW movement attenuate some of the effects where we live?
Finally, where did the T5.0 come from (what site?)
Thanks for your help. This site helped us warn people before Ketsana. Most of the people we work with have no phones, TVs or internet!!

I think the T 5.0 came from an agency called satellite services division (SSD). This equates to a 90KT storm. I am getting a lower number given the asymmetric nature of the deepest convection (this does not appear to be an embedded center pattern to me, but more of a banding pattern), and there is no visible eye on the IR, which is typical of about a 4.5 using a banding pattern

What is the topography of your area? That will make a big difference in terms of rainfall. I'll be up for about 20-30 more minutes so I may be able to answer your question before I head off to bed, but I would need to know if it is flat, or mountainous to give a rough estimate (I did not run the MM5 for this cyclone, so I won't have any high-res model rainfall forecasts)

Thanks for your help. Most of our province is a mountainous plateau with an elevation of 1000+ feet surrounded by two major tributaries of the Mekong, one river to the north and one to the south. Both rivers having their source in the central highlands of VN (one near Kontum and the other near Ban Me Thuot). Ketsana caused the worst flooding in memory on the Sesan River. We're getting some light rain right now (7:34 UTC +7) and the eastern sky is glowering.

IF the mountain range is to your west, then you may have downslope flow, which may reduce the rain. it looks as if your area may be just south of the center. However, if the mountain rang eends up north of the landfall position, the mountains create enhanced vertical motion, which could produce heavy rains and flooding.

It will all depend upon whether or not the center passed nroth or south of you. Winds should not be a major concern since you are far inland.

Looks like the center will pass south of us. There is a 3000 foot elevation range between us and VN to the east, but only decreasing elevation down to the Mekong to our west.

Thanks for your help!

These last few messages show what a great site S2k is and that how it is much more than just another weather site. In this particular instance, kudos to Derek Ortt. Kudos can go out to many more as well. As we have seen in the past few weeks, many people have contributed valuable information to people without access to local information. It makes me feel good to know I am a member of such a great community. It costs money to keep this site maintained. Consider my membership contribution renewed and thanks to all who keep us informed on the weather all around the world.
