Re: WPAC: PAKHAR - Tropical Storm
I think a little re-intensifcation just prior to landfall based on the latest microwave imagery. Here is my latest thoughts on it. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l99qcRDehW4[/youtube]

Re: WPAC: PAKHAR - Tropical Storm
although pakhar is a 40 knot (1 minute) tropical system, it looks a bit stronger based on the micronwave imagery. i would estimate the intensity at 60 knots sustained..

Re: WPAC: PAKHAR - Tropical Storm
Sure does, earlier it was visible on microwave imagery but now looks apparent on the vis.

Re: WPAC: PAKHAR - Tropical Storm
Is it just me or do systems tend to ramp up in intensity as they approach Vietnam? Kind of like systems approaching landfall on Australia.

Interesting system Pakhar.
JTWC issuing warnings with 10-min wind speeds at the moment, maybe part of their "shutdown" between 1st - 7th April. I also noticed they issuing prognostic reasoning product with every warning now, instead of every two warnings in the past.
I enjoyed this discussion from KNES late last night in their Dvorak analysis, Pakhar really has been a bizarre little system:
H. REMARKS...PAKHAR HAS GONE THROUGH A WIDE RANGE OF CHANGES OVER THE
LAST 6HRS...AT TIMES APPEARING TO BE DEVELOPING AN EYE IN A SYMMETRIC
CDO...TO CURRENTLY BEING LIMITED TO A SHEARED BALL OF CONVECTION ON
THE WEST SIDE OF THE LLC. 1041Z SSMIS PASS SHOWED A SYSTEM STILL NOT
VERTICALLY STACKED WITH 37GHZ CENTER LOCATED FURTHER SOUTH (9.4) WHILE
89GHZ WAS AROUND (9.8N) ALONG N-S AXIS AT 109.4E. SO THOUGH DT VALUES
A HOUR OR SO AGO WERE 4.0 FOR 10/10 BANDING THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
DECREASED TO 3.0 BASED ON .6 BANDING AND CONFIRMATION FROM SHEAR METHOD
OF .25 DEGREES FROM LLC. MET IS 3.5 AS THERE IS SLIGHT DEVELOPMENT OVER
COMPARED TO 24HRS AGO...BUT PT IS 3.0 GIVEN LACK OF SIZE OF CDO AND LACK
OF CONVECTION ON EAST SIDE. FT IS BASED ON DT. GIVEN ORGANIZATION OF
CYCLONIC NATURE PRESENTED IN MI... DVORAK SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE
MAY BE A BIT LOW IN REALITY.
Let's hope Vietnam gets off lightly with this one!

Norfolk shouldn't be issuing based on 10-min. Not sure why they're matched up w/ JMA, though.
Ho Chi Minh (VVTS) seeing some heavy rains roll through, restricting visibility to 1.3 km:

Nice spot, good to seem them using the proper wind average for the basin for once! That advisory wasn't a one off, the latest one is also in 10 min winds.

Re: WPAC: PAKHAR - Tropical Storm
amazing small system. it seems that pakhar was intensifying as it heads to vietnam. dvorak severely underestimated this system.
landfall intensity: 70 knots 1 minute winds.
