Videos of the surge and destruction in Tacloban(?) are very disturbing. They are all over FB.

Does anyone think otherwise? I'd be interested to know when you all think its peak was.


That is probably accurate, which would go down at 1800Z for synoptic time. I would put the peak intensity at 180 kt.


Another amazing thing is how a considerable amount of its circulation was over land (mountainous islands) at that time. It was just on such a tremendous upswing that it was slow to respond to the land interaction.

I suppose someone might want to keep archiving these -- I'm not really set up anywhere to do so, tho' I am saving some to my own HD.

I think it will re intensity and track to LAOS as a violent super typhoon.

WARNING NR 20//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
SUPER TYPHOON 31W (HAIYAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 310 NM
SOUTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 22 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY (EIR) REVEALS THE NEARLY ANNULAR EYEWALL HAS PERSISTED BUT
IS BEGINNING TO SHRINK SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. THE EYE
ITSELF HAS ALSO DECREASED IN SIZE AS THE SYSTEM HAS MOVED OVER THE
ISLANDS IN THE EASTERN PHILIPPINES. DVORAK ESTIMATES HAVE DECREASED
FOR ALL AGENCIES TO REFLECT THE WEAKENING OF THE DEEP CONVECTIVE
STRUCTURE OF THE EYEWALL OBSERVED IN EIR. THE CURRENT INTENSITY HAS
BEEN DECREASED TO 160 KNOTS BASED ON THE DVORAK ESTIMATES. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A STRONG RADIAL OUTFLOW PATTERN IS
PROVIDING VERY FAVORABLE OUTFLOW TO THE SUBSTANTIAL LOW LEVEL
INFLOW. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR REMAINS VERY LOW (LESS THAN 5 KNOTS),
ALLOWING GOOD VERTICAL TRANSPORT AND IS SUPPORTING THE RECENT
INTENSITY INCREASES OBSERVED IN EIR. STY 31W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING
ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
(STR) TO THE NORTH.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM THE
PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. STY 31W IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A WESTWARD TRACK ALONG THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE STR, SHIFTING TO A NORTHWESTWARD TRACK BETWEEN
TAU 48 AND 72. DUE TO THE EXTREMELY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT SUPER TYPHOON
INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. A SLIGHT INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL
FRICTIONAL EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM OVER
THE PHILIPPINES AND A WEAKENING TREND IN THE SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES (SSTS) WILL LEAD TO INTENSITIES DECREASING FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. THE WEAKENING TREND WILL BE SLOW AT FIRST
AS THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS MARGINAL TO GOOD THROUGH TAU 48, BUT AS
THE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE COAST OF VIETNAM, THE WEAKENING TREND WILL
BE AMPLIFIED BY GREATER LAND INTERACTION AND LESS THAN FAVORABLE
SSTS NEAR THE COAST. LANDFALL IS EXPECTED SHORTLY AFTER TAU 48, AND
WILL CAUSE A MORE AGGRESSIVE WEAKENING OF THE LOW LEVEL STRUCTURE
DUE TO THE FRICTIONAL LAND EFFECTS.
C. IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, STY 31W IS FORECAST TO TRACK MORE
NORTHWESTERLY INTO NORTHERN VIETNAM THROUGH TAU 96, SHIFTING TO A
NORTHEASTERLY TRACK AS THE CIRCULATION BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH A MID-
LATITUDE TROUGH, CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER CENTRAL CHINA, AND MOVING TO
THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR. THE TRACK OVER LAND WILL
CAUSE A RAPID WEAKENING AS FRICTIONAL LAND EFFECTS INCREASE AND
GREATER INTERACTION WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES IMPACTS UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT, WITH A COMPLETE DISSIPATION OF THE SYSTEM BEYOND TAU
120. BASED ON THE GOOD AGREEMENT OF DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE, THERE IS
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST TRACK.//

I have a question about that: When storm surges are reported or predicted, do I assume correctly that the wave heights (if headed into the shore) would add on, at least in the waters along the shore? I can imagine some monster breakers too, in some cases...

Cebu radar back up, storm about to make landfall on Cebu island. Inner core still looks disrupted but microwave satellite imagery shows better organisation, maybe the radar just isn't able to penetrate all the way through the core.

All depends upon the direction of the storm and usually where the land will hold water against that direction. IMHO in this case the water has plenty of other paths to follow (path of least resistance) so to answer your question, no I wouldn't add wave height to the surge at all.

Boracay cam is about to be slammed...it's slowing down on refresh (getting choppy). The waves still look not too bad but I'm pretty sure this is a NW oriented island so the "cove" in the camera view maybe protected.

I do wonder how quickly systems like this weaken after landfall. The eye is almost completely gone on satellite images, yet it only weakened 10 knots (using JTWC from 170 knots to 160 knots). Definitely a subject that needs much study. Especially systems like this that are only traversing mountainous islands, versus moving steadily more and more inland.

Does anyone think otherwise? I'd be interested to know when you all think its peak was.


That is probably accurate, which would go down at 1800Z for synoptic time. I would put the peak intensity at 180 kt.


Could it have peaked earlier, around 1630Z? The very cold dark gray area around the eye was perfectly symmetrical at that time. By 1930Z the CDO was beginning to lose some of its symmetry. (The only other storm to my knowledge which had such a perfect ring of cold cloud tops was Gay-1992 and maybe Nida-2009, though both were smaller than Haiyan.)
