All models are underestimating this at this time...

Something interesting is that some models develop the remnants of Melor as it drifts to the southwest across the South China Sea into a possible cyclone for the North Indian Ocean...

Looks like this caught everyone by surprise....A system developing in December is one thing but a typhoon? I was already on holiday mode so I wasn't really following this closely until I saw the alarming updates from JTWC....

Melor is undergoing eyewall replacement.

^I really can't see this going up to super status without an EWRC. Idk but the small core and pinhole eye looks unstable to me..

Just what i expected - EWRC.
Now, Melor will begin to gain some size.

Yep, and pinhole eye collapse almost always signals the start of an EWRC.

- idk but the similarities between this typhoon and Durian06 is getting more bizarre. Haha :?: .

This probably reached 130-135 knots last night but now is weakening steadily likely down to 115ish.

I'd suspect the current weakening is a result of both. The latest AMSR2 pass shows both a larger eye diameter and the coldest brightness temperatures biased somewhat to the eastern side of the circulation.

Imminent landfall...

WDPN31 PGTW 132100
MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TYPHOON 28W (MELOR) WARNING NR 10//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TYPHOON (TY) 28W (MELOR), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 369NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 11 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY (EIR) DEPICTS TIGHTLY CURVED SPIRAL BANDING WRAPPING INTO AN
8-NM DIAMETER EYE, WITH DVORAK ANALYSIS SUGGESTING THE PERIOD OF
RAPID INTENSIFICATION HAS LIKELY ENDED AS THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
TY MELOR IS BEGINNING TO INTERACT WITH THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO.
THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE EYE FEATURE IN THE EIR LOOP
WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 110 KNOTS
BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM 90 TO 115
KNOTS, AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE FALLING DVORAK FINAL-T NUMBERS.
THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING WESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF A
DEEP LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTH. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE, WITH LOW (5-10 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR (VWS), 28-29 DEGREE CELSIUS SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES, AND
ROBUST POLEWARD OUTFLOW, AS EVIDENCED ON ANIMATED WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST TRACK PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE, HOWEVER, FURTHER INTENSIFICATION IS NO
LONGER INDICATED.
B. TY MELOR WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY WESTWARD TO WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE STR OVER THE NEXT
48 HOURS. BASED ON CURRENT SATELLITE ANALYSIS, GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG
INTENSITY GUIDANCE, AND INCREASING LAND INTERACTION, THE INTENSITY
IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY DECREASE OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS. AFTER TAU
36, THIS DECAY TREND WILL BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED IN RESPONSE TO
INCREASING VWS AND THE INTRUSION OF COLD DRY AIR ASSOCIATED WITH A
STRONG CONTINENTAL COLD SURGE IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. BETWEEN TAUS
48-72, TY 28W WILL SLOW AS THE STEERING MECHANISM SHIFTS FROM A DEEP
LAYER MEAN FLOW TO THE LOW LEVEL SURGE FLOW.
C. BEYOND TAU 72, A GREATLY WEAKENED TY 28W WILL ACCELERATE
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD WITH THE STRONG NORTHERLY COLD SURGE IN THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA. AVAILABLE NUMERIC GUIDANCE IS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT UP TO
TAU 48, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE UP TO THAT PORTION OF THE JTWC
FORECAST.//

Looks like the issues that brought Melor down earlier are no longer present. Killer microwave presentation.

JTWC forecast it to go downhill steadily but MELOR just keeps busting their intensity outlook.

If Melor doesn't miss the northern edge of Samar, it's not going to be by a large margin at all.

Looks like it will just clip the northern coast of Samar, then stay over water to Sorsogon. The small size is the only thing that may prevent a significant storm surge in the very narrow Albay Gulf.

Looks like landfall is about to take place at the town of Palapag or Mapanas on Samar Island at around 12 noon
