WPAC: HAIYAN - Post-Tropical

[euro6208]

Also the historical track map from JTWC.

a slight shift to the south ...our typhoon chasers will feel the brunt of this monster...

A historical moment:

MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 170 KT, GUSTS 205 KT

JTWC: 170 Knots (195 mph)
JMA: 175 Knots (200 mph)

That 175kt from JMA is wind gust not sustained

Yes I know. I was just saying 175 knots is 200 mph.

I saved this historic moment on the very first post on page 1 of the thread. This thread will be an archieve one to remember and seen for decades. It will be in the archieves forum after a few days in this forum when is all over.

Tacloban city population 200K + very likely going to have major structural loss given the how and where the downtown area is.


I would not be chasing it in that city though a little late to move..

James Reynolds and Jim Edds are there. Hopefully they are safe.

wind damage going be enough... but once the back side comes and the wind pushes up that bay right into the city the storm surge is not going to be good.

up close showing the forecast track...

I don't think it will matter how far inland Haiyan is when the first visible shot becomes available; it's going to be historic regardless.

Both JMA and JTWC have given the highest intensity of their Dvorak CI8.0 for Typhoon Haiyan. They cannot give higher unless they break the ceiling of Dvorak technique.

[Kingarabian]

THAT IS CRAZY!!!! I have so much Filipino friends, here in Hawaii...

[hurricaneCW]

It looks like landfall is only a few hours away.

[Tireman4]

This storm is trucking. I mean just hauling for a storm that size...goodness gracious....

[euro6208]

CEBU Radar

At it's current course, Guiuan should be in the right eyewall. The Pagasa station there should hopefully give us some interesting readings before it fails. They only just had a Doppler Radar installed earlier this year too... Can't find any working imagery online for it though at the moment.
