Wow, what a major Tropopause Folding event. It's not everyday that you get sat temps above freezing when looking at Water Vapor!

Obviously very late at this point, but an RSCAT pass from about 12 hours ago had up to 70 kt wind barbs in the extratropically transitioning Choi-Wan. What a killer extratropical cyclone it is now.

Also, here was the 18Z UKMET analysis. Winds analyzed here are at 925 mb, but the swaths line up well with the RSCAT pass.

:uarrow: Yep, JMA has storm warnings for much of Hokkaido and northern Honshu with Choi-wan still being a massive extratropical storm (960 mb) heading toward the Kuril Islands.

70 knots peak matches well with that RSCAT pass.
