You use MET if the DT is not clear cut, but with an eye scene type, it should be. It either meets the require3d thickness or it doesn't.

Looks around 105 knots to me. Better than Joaquin, which is 130 knots.

Yeah, this one has likely been pretty underestimated. Kudos to the ECMWF for picking up on it when it did; it was developing this well before any other global model.

T5.5 from JMA...and then they dropped the intensity to 65 kt.
I have to say the agencies have done quite a bad job this time.

JMA maintains at 65 kt at 03Z. I would say 90 kt is a better estimate.

Yeah that's interesting...Majority of Joaquin's life it never got a well defined eye. A major hurricane with no eye?

Ridiculous. Makes you wonder... :roll:

Whether a major cane has a well defined eye or not doesn't matter. As soon as it reaches 100 kts it is a major.

The problem isn't Joaquin being stronger than estimated, the problem is that many WPAC storms are under- or overestimated due to missing data. Joaquin is actually a very good example for how sat appearance can fool everyone, so the only ridiculous thing is that no effort is put into examining storms in the WPAC more thoroughly.

TYPHOON (TY) 22W (MUJIGAE), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 208 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF HANOI, VIETNAM, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 10
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR)
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS TIGHTLY CURVED BANDING (TCB) WRAPPING INTO
THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER THAT REMAINS OVER LAND, JUST NORTH
OF THE GULF OF TONKIN. THE BD CURVE ENHANCEMENT SHOWS RAPIDLY
DISSIPATING CENTRAL CONVECTION; HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION
REMAINS OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. A 041130Z SSMIS 91GHZ MICROWAVE
IMAGE FURTHER SHOWS THAT THE ONLY REMAINING INTENSE CONVECTION IS
WITHIN THE BANDING ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. THE
INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE TCB IN THE EIR LOOP AND SUPPORTED
BY SATELLITE FIXES FROM RJTD AND PGTW WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY HAS BEEN DECREASED BASED ON THE WEAKENING
STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM AS IT TRACKS OVER LAND; HOWEVER, THE STORM
MAINTAINS TYPHOON INTENSITY. TY 22W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
NORTHWESTWARD, FURTHER INLAND, AND RAPIDLY DISSIPATE DUE TO THE
FRICTIONAL EFFECTS OF LAND INTERACTION, LEADING TO ITS COMPLETE
DISSIPATION BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. DYNAMIC MODEL
GUIDANCE REMAINS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, LEADING TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
THE JTWC FORECAST. THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE

Zhejiang, population 7 million, just got the eyewall...

Its the biggest news story no one is talking about.

Ridiculous. Makes you wonder... :roll:

Yeah Joaquin looked so bad in its later stages of life, shocking it was anywhere near 115 knots at that point. It seems like it was just us 2 who noticed this for some reason.

A forecaster’s worst nightmare: Typhoon Mujigae intensifies to Cat 4 just before landfall
On Saturday, Typhoon Mujigae was forecast to hit Zhanjiang, China, about 200 miles west of Hong Kong, as a Category 1 storm. However, in the twelve hours before landfall, Mujigae surprised forecasters by rapidly intensifying from a Category 1 storm with 90 mph winds to an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm with 130 mph winds, and made landfall on the north side of the city of Zhanjiang near 1 am EDT Sunday (05 UTC.) An unexpected rapid intensification just before landfall in a heavily populated area is every hurricane forecaster's nightmare, and with Zhanjiang'a population being 7 million, there is the potential that Mujigae caused heavy loss of life and severe damage due to lack of preparedness for a Category 4 typhoon. The airport in Zhanjiang, which appears to have just missed getting hit by the weaker southern eyewall of the typhoon, recorded sustained winds of 65 mph at 2 pm Sunday local time, and rainfall of 5.20". The embedded tweet below shows Mujigae making landfall.
