This was indeed a C5 at peak. (Another) huge L from JTWC.

All the headlines and sure justified are for Ragasa, but let's not forget Neoguri that has put a show of spectacular photogenic images.

The sun rises over Neoguri and still looks great.

So far, Neoguri has 10.5 of ACE and looks like it will be around for a few more days to get some more.

It has been a long journey for Neoguri that has shown amazing images when it was at peak but is comming to an end soon.

SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION:
REANALYSIS OF WINDSPEED DATA (SMAP, SMOS AND SAR IMAGERY) FROM
240600-1200Z INDICATES THE SYSTEM LIKELY REINTENSIFIED TO MINIMUM
TYPHOON (TY) STRENGTH. ADDITIONALLY, A 241020Z ASCAT-C IMAGE
REVEALED A SWATH OF 60 KNOT WINDS OVER THE EASTERN QUADRANT
SUGGESTING TYPHOON STRENGTH WINDS. ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM'S CONVECTIVE
APPEARANCE IS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE, ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR)
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING AROUND A
RAGGED, WEAK EYE, WHICH SUPPORTS THE INITIAL POSITION WITH HIGH
CONFIDENCE. THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO
A SHARP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE NORTH, WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
AND WARM SST VALUES. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 65 KTS IS ASSESSED WITH
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE RECENT WINDSPEED DATA CONSISTENT WITH
THE WEAK EYE FEATURE.
