What an interesting little system, it's structure is beautiful, it has to be upgraded to typhoon intensity soon (both JMA and JTWC).

I wouldn't go as far as 100kts but 75kt would not be unreasonable. It's most certainly not the 50kt in the most recent JTWC warning.

Re: WPAC: SONCA - Severe Tropical Storm (19W)
This should already be a TY by now, maybe around 70-80kts? There is no way that a TS could have that eye..yeah some TS in the past displayed eye feature or proto-eyewall but not something like this.

OK the JMA is underestimating Sonca too, IMO it looks like a typhoon 10-min and 1-min winds, JMA should have 65 kt and JTWC 80 kt, it's a small tropical cyclone and Dvorak is not good in these cases. I wonder why there is no RECON in this area, I'm sure that Japan could develop very good technologies to do it.
