Soudelor now contributed 29.005 units of ACE and still increase since it will still linger and intensify before making landfall over Central Taiwan.


It's currently intensifying

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TYPHOON 13W (SOUDELOR) WARNING NR 33//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TYPHOON (TY) 13W (SOUDELOR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 243 NM
SOUTHEAST OF TAIPEI, TAIWAN, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 11
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MSI CONTINUES TO SHOW DEEP
CONVECTION SURROUNDING A 18 NM EYE WITH SYMMETRICAL BANDING WRAPPING
TIGHTLY. WHILE THE WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS SOME DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT
FROM THE NORTHWESTERN QUADRANT WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER, UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES A POINT SOURCE RIGHT OVER THE SYSTEM HELPING TO
OFFSET ANY DEGRADATION IN INTENSITY. A 070618Z AMSU-B PARTIAL IMAGE
SHOWS THE DEEPEST CONVECTION ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE LLCC. THE
CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE EYE WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE AND THE
INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN INCREASED SLIGHTLY TO 110 KNOTS BASED ON
AN ASSESSMENT OF INCREASING DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM ALL
AGENCIES. TY SOUDELOR IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A
DEEP-LAYERED STR TO THE NORTH.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TY 13W WILL CONTINUE ON A WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TRAJECTORY
THROUGH TAU 48 UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE STR. OVER THE
NEXT 12 HOURS, TY 13W IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY TO 115 KNOTS DUE TO
GOOD OUTFLOW, INCREASING SST AND INCREASING OCEAN HEAT CONTENT. JUST
AFTER TAU 12, TY 13W IS FORECAST TO MAKE LANDFALL IN CENTRAL TAIWAN
AND WEAKEN RAPIDLY AS THE SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH THE CHUNGYANG RANGE
BEFORE RE-EMERGING IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT BY TAU 24. THEREAFTER, TY
SOUDELOR WILL MAKE A SECOND LANDFALL OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS PROVINCE
OF FUJIAN AND CONTINUE TO WEAKEN, FINALLY DISSIPATING NEAR LAKE
DAGUAN BY TAU 72. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC

I doubt Soudelor is doing any more strengthening. Not with this structure. The current intensity of 110 kt from JTWC might even be a little generous.

110-115 knots estimate may be justifiable 12 hours ago. Right now dry air is (and has always been) messing this one up. Good thing for Taiwan as there will be reduced risk of wind damage. However once the core gets closer convection blowup due to orographic lifting will be the real deal.

Actually the JTWC lowered their estimate to 105 kts to 12z

Its pretty common for typhoons to take a jog north (south) when they are approaching the northern (southern) part of Taiwan. Interested to see if Soudelor does the same.

Yeah, should be making landfall right about now.

Looking at the size, structure and presentation, I would go with 95 kt for the landfall intensity.

That's a small eyewall and eye. JTWC has it at only 5 nm that's twice this storm made landfall with a pinhole.

Saipan got it at only 3.5 to 4 nm wide.

I won't be surprised if this made landfall stronger than indicated like what we saw in Saipan...

James Reynolds just twitted this:

Impressive rain totals...Tai ping just exceeded 1 metre of rain

Currently measured a 950 mb at Taroko

It made landfall over a mountainous region and areas south of the landfall position is being sheltered by 3000 foot mountains so wind isn't a problem but rain is...

That looks to be very close to the landfall point, so I would set the landfall pressure at 946 mb.

105/946 seems good here for landfall intensity.

Josh measured a 955 mbar pressure.
