Looking better, but dry air is still lurking about. A fairly tough intensity forecast still lies ahead.

Dolphin has definitely gotten better organized and may impact Iwo To later this week. It should be peaking out as a category 5 if it continues to gain strength.

My intensity forecast busted earlier, but now that Dolphin has a more stable inner core, I'm thinking it will really show what it is made of in the overnight.

Hey guys I'm back.

WOW! I truly underestimated Dolphin big time.

The southern eyewall passed over my location in the north bringing gust of over 100 mph for several hours and out of power since then. Honestly I slept through most of it :lol: but kept waking up to loud thumps.

The only damage around my house i've seen thus far is big trees uprooted and accessing the damage throughout Guam, barely any structural damage but lots of flooding and uprooted trees. Many people still in grocery mode and recovery begins.

We were very lucky that shear and dry air hampered it's intensification or else we would have dealt with a much stronger typhoon...

Strongest typhoon and first direct hit since STY Pongsona in 2002...

Now a Super Typhoon!

07W DOLPHIN 150516 0600 15.8N 141.5E WPAC 130 926

WDPN32 PGTW 160900
MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR SUPER TYPHOON 07W (DOLPHIN) WARNING NR 39//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
SUPER TYPHOON (STY) 07W DOLPHIN LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 234 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF ANDERSEN AFB, GUAM, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED A HIGHLY SYMMETRICAL 25 NM
EYE AS SUPER DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDS WRAPPED TIGHTER INTO THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE EYE FEATURE
WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 130 KNOTS IS BASED ON
AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, KNES, AND RJTD
AND REFLECTS THE SYSTEMS RAPID INTENSIFICATION. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS APPROACHING THE RIDGE AXIS AND REMAINS IN A
LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AREA. ADDITIONALLY, EXCELLENT DUAL
OUTFLOW, AS EVIDENT ON ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY, CONTINUES TO
PROVIDE VENTILATION TO THE CONVECTION. THE CYCLONE IS CURRENTLY
TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A DEEP LAYERED SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE (STR).
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. STY 07W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT
12-24 HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE STR. AFTERWARDS, IT WILL ROUND
THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE STR AND CROSS INTO THE POLEWARD SIDE OF THE
RIDGE AXIS AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARD. CONTINUED FAVORABLE
UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT, IN ADDITION TO WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES
(SSTS) AND INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW CONCURRENT WITH THE SYSTEMS
INITIAL EXPOSURE TO THE STRONG MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES, WILL FUEL
FURTHER INTENSIFICATION, PEAKING AT 145 KNOTS BETWEEN TAU 24-36.
AFTERWARDS, INCREASING VWS AND COOLING SSTS WILL BEGIN TO ERODE THE
SYSTEM. BY TAU 72, STY 07W WILL COMMENCE EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION
(ETT) AS IT GETS EMBEDDED IN THE COLD BAROCLINIC AIR MASS.
C. IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, STY DOLPHIN WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE
NORTHEASTWARD AND DEEPER INTO THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. HIGH VWS, COOLING
SSTS, AND INFLUX OF COLD DRY AIR WILL GRADUALLY ERODE THE SYSTEM. BY
THE END OF THE FORECAST, THE SYSTEM WILL COMPLETE ETT AND TRANSFORM
INTO A STORM-FORCE COLD CORE LOW. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN
VERY TIGHT AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK
FORECAST WHICH IS LAID CLOSE TO THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS.//

I will sound like a broken record describing how active the WPAC basin has always been. But I think it's worth to note that having a third Category 5 before the end of May is a great feat even in this part of the world...

Dolphin is a borderline category 5 typhoon and it will continue to get stronger. With the core eye and perfect outflow, this typhoon looks perfectly organized. And the warmer waters and low wind shear will allow for some more strengthening before a weakening trend starts int the next 48 hours. However, right now, the core eye is weakening. It may appear that it is going through a replacement cycle now.
