Please say not. The Island hasn't recovered from Morakot yet - we still have roads closed that may never open again. The Southern Cross Island Highway was just possibly in the top 5 of the most beautiful drives/rides, anywhere.
It's a perfect afternoon here in Kaohsiung. Hot, sticky, but no afternoon thunderstorm. Been for a long cycle ride up into the foothills, may not get another for a few days. CWB posting a track just South of Hengchun Peninsula 31st/1st.

I hope you are wrong. Morakot (2009) had a very large diameter of about 1,500km and a central pressure of 945HPa and was moving very slowly when it hit Taiwan. Actually, it was stationary at one point when it dumped an insane amount of rainfall on Taiwan.
Fingers crossed Taiwan does not get a repeat
As a comparison TS Saola is 996HPa with a diameter of 740km but it will intensify.

Re: WPAC: SAOLA - Tropical Storm
I also hope I'm wrong, its just a possibility, but look at the colorized infrared, its not just showing reds, but blacks. the only best thing to do is to be prepared for the worst

Re: WPAC: SAOLA - Tropical Storm
is it just dmax that's causing the huge blow up of convection or simply a strong CDO feature forming?

Re: WPAC: SAOLA - Tropical Storm
one can just imagine what this would develop into.

while i assume that small compact center being obscured by cold cloud tops would form an eye soon...

REMARKS:

TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (SAOLA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM EAST-

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL STORM 10W (SAOLA) WARNING
NR 03//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (SAOLA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED
NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AN EXTREMELY BROAD SYSTEM
THAT IS SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING AROUND A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) THAT IS COVERED WITH A COLD DENSE OVERCAST. EXTENSIVE
FORMATIVE BANDS ARE NOW MORE DEFINED AND CONTINUOUS. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON A 281133Z 37HZ SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWING A
DISTINCT LOW LEVEL SIGNATURE WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE HIGH END OF DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW,
KNES AND RJTD RANGING FROM 30 TO 42 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS JUST TO THE WEST OF A RIDGE AXIS IN AREA OF
LIGHT (05-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE CYCLONE IS BEING STEERED BY
A LOW- TO MID-LAYERED NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE EAST.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS STRONG POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD
OUTFLOWS, ENHANCED BY A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH TO THE
NORTHEAST AND THE NER, RESPECTIVELY.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING.
B. TS 10W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING TOWARD TAIWAN UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE NER. DUE TO THE CONTINUED FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT, THE SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY, BECOMING A TYPHOON
BEFORE TAU 72. THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN VERY LOOSE
AGREEMENT WITH ECMWF TO THE LEFT OF THE MODEL ENVELOPE, FAVORING A
STRONGER STEERING RIDGE AND NOGAPS AND GFS DEPICTING AN ABRUPT
DEFLECTION TO THE RIGHT AFTER TAU 12, POSSIBLY HINTING OF EXCESSIVE
DIRECT CYCLONE INTERACTION (E-DCI) WITH A DEVELOPING CYCLONE TO THE
NORTHEAST.
C. AFTER TAU 96, TS SAOLA IS EXPECTED TO TURN ON A FLATTER, MORE
WESTWARD TRACK AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ORIENTED ACROSS JAPAN
RE-BUILDS AND ASSUMES STEERING. THE CYCLONE WILL THEN MAKE LANDFALL
INTO TAIWAN AS A STRONG TYPHOON AFTER TAU 96. THIS TRACK FORECAST IS
SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT OF CONSENSUS TO OFFSET THE ABRUPT AND UNLIKELY
DEFLECTION OF GFS AND NOGAPS TO THE RIGHT. THERE IS POOR CONFIDENCE
IN THE TRACK FORECAST DUE TO THE E-DCI AND INCONSISTENT MODEL
GUIDANCE. THE FORECAST INTENSITY IS HIGHER THAN MODEL GUIDANCE WHICH
IS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY NOGAPS. //

REMARKS:
281500Z POSITION NEAR 16.3N 125.7E.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (SAOLA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT
10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
281200Z IS 14 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 282100Z, 290300Z, 290900Z AND
291500Z. //

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL STORM 10W (SAOLA) WARNING
NR 03//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 10W (SAOLA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 295 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED
NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AN EXTREMELY BROAD SYSTEM
THAT IS SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING AROUND A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) THAT IS COVERED WITH A COLD DENSE OVERCAST. EXTENSIVE
FORMATIVE BANDS ARE NOW MORE DEFINED AND CONTINUOUS. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON A 281133Z 37HZ SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWING A
DISTINCT LOW LEVEL SIGNATURE WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE HIGH END OF DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW,
KNES AND RJTD RANGING FROM 30 TO 42 KNOTS. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS JUST TO THE WEST OF A RIDGE AXIS IN AREA OF
LIGHT (05-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. THE CYCLONE IS BEING STEERED BY
A LOW- TO MID-LAYERED NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE EAST.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS STRONG POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD
OUTFLOWS, ENHANCED BY A TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH TO THE
NORTHEAST AND THE NER, RESPECTIVELY.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING.
B. TS 10W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING TOWARD TAIWAN UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE NER. DUE TO THE CONTINUED FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT, THE SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY, BECOMING A TYPHOON
BEFORE TAU 72. THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN VERY LOOSE
AGREEMENT WITH ECMWF TO THE LEFT OF THE MODEL ENVELOPE, FAVORING A
STRONGER STEERING RIDGE AND NOGAPS AND GFS DEPICTING AN ABRUPT
DEFLECTION TO THE RIGHT AFTER TAU 12, POSSIBLY HINTING OF EXCESSIVE
DIRECT CYCLONE INTERACTION (E-DCI) WITH A DEVELOPING CYCLONE TO THE
NORTHEAST.
C. AFTER TAU 96, TS SAOLA IS EXPECTED TO TURN ON A FLATTER, MORE
WESTWARD TRACK AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ORIENTED ACROSS JAPAN
RE-BUILDS AND ASSUMES STEERING. THE CYCLONE WILL THEN MAKE LANDFALL
INTO TAIWAN AS A STRONG TYPHOON AFTER TAU 96. THIS TRACK FORECAST IS
SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT OF CONSENSUS TO OFFSET THE ABRUPT AND UNLIKELY
DEFLECTION OF GFS AND NOGAPS TO THE RIGHT. THERE IS POOR CONFIDENCE
IN THE TRACK FORECAST DUE TO THE E-DCI AND INCONSISTENT MODEL
GUIDANCE. THE FORECAST INTENSITY IS HIGHER THAN MODEL GUIDANCE WHICH
IS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY NOGAPS. //

Re: WPAC: SAOLA - Tropical Storm
Saola is showing some very very deep convection right now and as a betting man I'm happy to wager this storm will peak much stronger than 75kts 1 min that JTWC is showing given current model forecasts. Model spread for track is pretty significant at the moment but Taiwan and the Ryuku islands still looks prime target for a major landfall!

Re: WPAC: SAOLA - Tropical Storm

Re: WPAC: SAOLA - Tropical Storm
TH do you have any plans on intercepting this storm? i think this is gonna be an interesting storm to track, and for now a landfall in Taiwan seems likely. a major system out of this IMO is possible especially if the storm does slow down in its motion, as what some forecasts are showing...giving it more time over warm sea surface temp and pockets of low shear.

i kinda agree with JTWC on this system being withheld at 35kts... latest microwave suggests banding but not a whole lot especially when you compare it with the seemingly impressive signature on IR.. scatterometer passes early last night also showing winds of 30 to 35kts... probably a case of Central Cold Cover
ADT is now at 53kt although the SATCON is keeping it at around 41kts...
