Re: SPAC: IAN - Tropical Cyclone
The very small island nation of Tonga (population 103,000+ 2011 census) is located in the eastern quadrant near the eye shown in the last post before this. Conditions there must be very dangerous. God bless them!

Re: SPAC: IAN - Tropical Cyclone
It seems that in the past few hours Ian's eye has greatly expanded and cleared, and although standard infrared imagery may have indicated the slight warming of cloud tops, microwave imagery certainly suggests a more coalesced structure with a strengthening eyewall to the northeast.

The eyewall is certainly getting stronger. I'd estimate 125-130 knots for 0z before it starts going downhill from there. Is this one of the strongest here in the 21st century? Sorry if it's a silly question.

Cloud tops are cooling again around the eye in a ring! This is just amazing. May God be with any inhabitants of those little islands. Also, ADT estimates are increasing steadily now.

You can clearly see the eye passing over a small island or atoll .

I personally think it has intensified. Cloud tops have cooled markedly around the eye in the last few hours. The eye is still clearing out. ADT estimates are still rising. I wonder what caused them to go with 115 knots?

Dvorak constraints with the land interaction that will do it
But as you say i agree it looks to be getting stronger on the satpic. there's more mauve now in the image.

Confirmation T number is still rising.
It makes sense in my opinion because cloudtops are still cooling somewhat and surrounding the eye more. I'd personally estimate 125-130 knots now.

I'd think based on all of this, there would be at least some increase in winds by 6z. The ring of cold cloudtops is even thicker now, and estimates are still on the rise.

It should be close to 135-140kts by now, IMO. It looks really good.
