It seems to be following the path on wundermap now...


Not really. Wundermap periodically updates recent track observation. It's still south.


Yes, and it's still tracking a bit to the south than their updated track. Lets see if Lupit would follow a more WNW or a westerly or WSW path in the coming hours. I think it would mean a lot for the people of central luzon.

I think PAGASA must be using 10 min average whereas JTWC uses 1 min average.

Yup. I just watched the afternoon news and they said so. Although based on their model forecast, Lupit's future track would bring it to the extreme north of Luzon. I guess this would not bid good for those depending on PAGASA's forecasts. Especially if Lupit would follow a more WSW-track and take it for granted... :(

The difference should only be 14 % right? Pagasa is till off if that's the case

The eye is getting much smaller. I wonder why? Is it getting weaker?

Yes, I also see that on the wundermap model. I wonder what could it mean. I hope we have a Pro Met online to clarify that..

I believe when an eye get's smaller, the typhoon get's weaker...Notice the 5 knots decrease in sustained wind...It was originally at 135 but the JTWC decreased it to 130...Still....130 is VERY STRONG

I honestly believe they will correct themselves IF this is indeed the case. I'm trying to remember the advise of not watching wobbles too much.

As the eye gets smaller the typhoon gets stronger - generally. Hurricane Wilma's eye was pinpoint in 2005 when the pressure dropped to a record 882 mbars - maybe even lower. Not sure what is going on with Lupit at the moment. Eyewall replacement cycle coming up? West side looks good. Maybe some dry air got sucked in. I'm looking at the WV loop and that looks like what happened. Check it out: http://www.goes.noaa.gov/guam/guamloops/guamwv.html

Thank you for the explanation...Is there a chance for lupit to further intensify?
