Not so sure about the recurve from those runs Dexter, looks like a WNW track. I should wait till it actually forms though before discussing finer points of the potential track :)

indeed. poor luzon which is the area in the world with the most tropical cyclone/category 5 landfalls is about to get hit by another system after that it might possibly target china/taiwan...stay tuned.

TH,I think you would like a landfall close to your location,here it is by GFS :) The problem about it is very long range (336 hours) and of course, with each run there will be changes.Let's see if ECMWF has it.

Always a bit of fun to watch the long range models. I'll be back in Europe between 29th May to 5th June so hoping I don't miss anything locally!

euro 18z run does not show the system off the coast of NE Luzon but it shows a system farther in the Western Pacific, which I think is 94W right now. By the way it is looking really healthy and a convection wrapping up is evident.

Off topic: Okinawa just got rattled by M5.0 quake, I'm sure our friends here living there felt it!

Yeah Dexter looks like ECM trying to develop 94W in latest run instead of the Luzon system, 00z run out in 3 hours, looking forward to seeing that.

How's it feel to be leaving Okinawa? Hope you'll still contribute to the Wpac threads once you're back in US!

yes i think euro again becomes consistent in showing a TC off NE Luzon and tracking towards Okinawa. let's see if it pans out. euro got it right in the ATL with Alberto and Beryl...and also the first one to hint Bud making landfall in EPAC. interesting to see the next run.

Latest ECMWF run even more bullish with NE Luzon development and eventually spins up a typhoon south of Okinawa, interesting times ahead!!

the latest euro run was a bit different compared to the previous runs, a closed low pressure system shown is tad weaker and doesn't come too near in Luzon...but still depicts a recurve towards Japan..


on the other hand...i don't know if it is just me but there is a persistent cluster of clouds east of Luzon, I have a feeling this might be the system predicted to develop by euro. what do you guys think?
