Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
There is a partial outer eyewall/outer rainband on microwave imagery from a few hours ago. However, IR is not showing any signs that an EWRC is imminent.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
Looks like SMAP got a decent pass at 835 UTC on the 4th with a derived 1-minute wind of 84.3 kt. Hopefully there will be another pass today as Niran continues to intensify.

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
Unfortunately only a partial pass, but SMAP yielded 99.7 kt (1-minute) at 723 UTC today.

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
Niran has become what Delta tried and failed to be: a small T#8.0 pinhole eye system. This is likely WAY stronger than 115 kt.

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
On some satellite images, you can see the eye of TC Niran passing over an island in the Coral Sea, but interestingly, the island referred to as Sandy island actually doesn't exist. It still erroneously appears on some modern maps although long "undiscovered"

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
Didn’t take long; shear and/or foreword motion has caused the eye to collapse again. Since its peak didn’t last long, I don’t think Niran got to a ludicrous intensity like its nearly T#8.0 appearance suggested.

Called it; already saw a wall of shear attacking it.

Yeah I think the 140kt estimate seemed pretty spot on

Re: SPAC: NIRAN - Tropical Cyclone
Niran appears to be weakening VERY rapidly now. Has the look of a transitioning ET storm.
