Impressive given how it relatively weakened, makes you think it peaked at or just below 900mb.

That eastern eyewall brutalizing Itbayat, will probably destroy what Meranti didn't few years ago..

I don't know what is going on with Chanthu (Kiko), but the typhoon is RAPIDLY weakening right now . . .

Northerly Wind Shear combined with Dry Air?

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.

Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.

Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information

935 lines up with CKZ if you assume an intensity of around 125 knots.

Can we use radar velocities from Taiwan radar to estimate winds in Itbayat? The dBZ is off the charts.

Appears to be ramping up again and starting to lift north.

Are Taiwan's NTU buoys near Orchid island still working?

But it needs to go or else East Asia will be in bigger trouble :lol:

If I may guess, the reason for Chanthu's degredation is the steep drop in SSTs

So the JTWC drops it down 5 kt when it’s clearly strengthening, but then keeps it as a Cat 5 when it’s clearly weakening?! What is up with them?

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.

Probably the best footage I've seen so far for this typhoon

Did you read the discussion? At the time of the analysis, it was actually looking better, as noted by others on this site who noted the eye was clearing out again. But it didn't last long. Also it takes time for a system to spin down, just because the satellite presentation degrades does not equal an instantaneous reduction in the wind speed.
