It is going through one hell of a EWRC right now...Maybe 200 nmi wide. I think this storm will drop 20 to 25 knots once this new eye takes over. In with the upper level shear forget it restrengthing.

Wow this EWRC is going to take its whole central core out from it.

She looks better today.

Shes going through a huge ERC right now that I don't think will be finished before she makes landfall! Her new eye is going to be huge if it does finish before making landfall!

Still, dry condicions prevail in Hong Kong. The calm before the storm.

Chanchu has approximately a 3/4 of a CDO, fortunately it's east of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong will be lucky to get TS gusts at this point.
