TBH, it's convection is too thin for a cat 4. Maybe low level cat 3 for now.

This is more like 6.0 meaning Cat 4 status but dvorak still showing a 4.5 rating... :roll:


Because the convection isn't wide enough. It narrowest band of white needs to be 0.5° wide. Because of these requirements, it doesn't fall into white, black, or light grey. Its not until medium grey that it meets the width requirements which means 4.5. Now in reality, its probably closer to a 5.0 or 5.5,

It's not anywhere near them so little post from them but a storm of this magnitude in their part of the world will go crazy especially if the U.S coastline gets threaten...


Becuase most of the posters live near the US coastline where those storms could threaten their homes. Sort of obvious. :roll:

I don't understand why the JTWC weakened it to 90 knots. Clearly it's weakening... :roll:

This is quite similar to Typhoon Soulik which slammed Taiwan in 2013. It had this clear, round eye but the cloud tops were quite warm.. If convection becomes deeper this one could have been a Cat5 again. Good thing is that dry air will prevent that from happening.

Likely due to some dry air. Probs around 105 knts now, higher than the JTWC's estimate of 95 knts.

This is anywhere from T5.0 to T6.0, depending on how you measure the width. Likely at the high end though.
