I'm guessing the peak intensity will be placed at 1800Z at 145 kt. ERC, upwelling or a touch of shear?

I might have to look into the rarity of two simultaneous Pacific category 5s on either side of the International Date Line. It's possible this is a first time event.

I did a quick check by looking for when East or Central Pacific hurricanes were at category 5 intensity, and cross-referencing them with the West Pacific (easier to look at the East Pacific first since cat 5 storms are much rarer there). The only thing I found that was close was on October 18, 2009, when Hurricane Rick was at 155kt at 1200Z and 140kt at 1800Z, and Typhoon Lupit was at 135kt according to the JTWC (so close!). This also shows Lupit reaching 140kt at 0Z on 10/19, but Rick had fallen to 125kt.

Hurricane Rick: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP202009_Rick.pdf
Typhoon Lupit: http://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.htm ... rn-pacific (storm #22 of 2009 in the .zip file)

Feel free to let us know if you find anything else though, since my research wasn't particularly exhaustive! Either way, this is for sure a moment to be remembered if you're into historical tropical cyclone facts.

Well, this has to be one of my favourite Sentinel-3 images so far. Absolutely stunning storm!

Just look at the absolutely perfect clarity of that eye. Thanks a lot for sharing that image!

Also, thanks to Chris90 and Highteeld for the links to the image sites yesterday. :D

Aaaaaaah! So fluffy! It’s like a vortex of angry down pillows! :lol:
The swirls in the eye even make it look like an eye. Definitely saving this one as a reference for art purposes!

Is something wrong on my end or has the latest advisory not been posted yet?

Being underestimated. CPHC goes with 115 knots and doesn't forecast any strengthening

Hurricane Walaka Discussion Number 15...Corrected
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI CP012018
1100 PM HST Tue Oct 02 2018

Walaka's eye remains somewhat ragged in infrared satellite imagery
early this evening. However, a 0528Z SSMS pass continued to show a
well defined eye surrounded by a complete eyewall. The degradation
of the system in conventional satellite imagery is likely the
result of increasing vertical wind shear from the southwest. The
latest subjective Dvorak current intensity estimates from JTWC and
PHFO were 6.0/115 kt and 5.5/102 kt from SAB. The UW-CIMSS ADT
estimate was also 6.0/115 kt. Based on these estimates, we will
maintain Walaka's initial intensity at 115 kt for this advisory.

The initial motion for this advisory is 005/11 kt. Walaka is being
steered towards a vertically-stacked low pressure area near 31N
170W. Walaka is expected to soon begin accelerating toward the
north-northeast as it gets caught up in the outer circulation along
the southeastern and eastern periphery of this deep low. Once Walaka
gets closer to this extratropical feature, the track guidance
indicates its forward motion will slow in the 36 to 48 hour time.
It may make a brief bend back toward the north-northwest, then track
rapidly northeastward between 72 and 96 hours as the circulation
becomes more shallow. The track guidance remains in remarkably good
agreement considering the rather complex interaction between Walaka
and the extratropical low. This latest track forecast is very close
to the previous advisory package.

As the vertical wind shear near Walaka becomes increasingly hostile
during the next 24 to 36 hours, steady weakening is forecast.
Although the shear diminishes somewhat beyond 36 hours, the tropical
cyclone will begin moving over increasingly cool sea surface
temperatures and reduced ocean heat content. There is some
uncertainty about how Walaka's interaction with the extratropical
low will affect its intensity. The global models seem to be in good
agreement that some semblance of a warm core system will remain
after Walaka interaction with the extratropical low. Therefore, the
current forecast maintains Walaka as a tropical cyclone through 96
hours. It would not be surprising if the system becomes
extratropical sooner. The latest intensity forecast shows a slower
rate of weakening than most of the dynamical models, which is in
best agreement with the ECMWF through 48 hours, then aligns with the
SHIPS guidance afterward. The current intensity forecast is also
very close to the previous advisory package.
