JTWC conitnues where CPHC left off. CATEGORY 4 Super Typhoon with winds of 130 knots and forecast to peak at 145 knots, Cat 5!

[dexterlabio]

thats a lot of ACE imported from EPAC/CPAC...will it gain more strength as a typhoon?

[xtyphooncyclonex]

WOW!!!!! SUPER TYPHOON??? FORECAST PEAK IS 145 KTS AND STRONGEST EVER FOR IDL!!!!

Unusually high pressure for a Violent typhoon in JMA forecast, 945 hPa and it usually is at 905-925 hPa if it were in the other parts of te WPAC. The most impressive storm I have tracked since Haiyan last year.

[WeatherGuesser]

Headed between Midway and Wake.

Not much of a change either way and one could be affected.

It's interesting how much sooner the recurve is now forecast to occur compared to on earlier model runs. Genevieve wasn't expected to intensify so rapidly and thus feel poleward forcing at this longitude, where there is obviously a small weakness. Earlier runs of the GFS had Genevieve meandering around the higher latitudes west of Wake Island for over a week, after becoming a major typhoon, while Halong and Julio each caught a seat on the Alaskan Cruise Line.

Now it's Julio and Halong that will apparently be meandering while massive and powerful Genevieve slips poleward. I wonder what kind of long-term effect a supertyphoon entering the jet stream from the region of the Date Line would have teleconnectively. So far this summer's North American troughing pattern (and West Coast heat ridge) has seemingly been fueled by typhoons entering the jet stream from the far WPAC. Maybe an unforeseen pattern shift will result from Genevieve changing things up?

Regrettably, JMA is horrendous about underestimating central pressures (they're usually not THIS bad though....950mb, really? ) and JTWC doesn't do intensity estimate. I hope that Iselle and Julio miraculously evaporate, and the reconnaissance crews in Hawaii decide to fly a mission into Genevieve because hey, why not?

Hey so this storm crosses the dateline and is now in our territory hehe... Curiously asking, how does S2k handle this? Do you move the forum to the WPAC forums or keep it in the basin of origin?

[ManilaTC]

By the way the CDG in the dvorak satellite image has completely surrounded the eye... perhaps its now T8.0

JMA may actually right. It is moving around 25 kph and that the area where Genevieve is located has higher pressures. This happened several occasions; those were during typhoons John, Ele, Pewa and Huko.

Wow!

This super typhoon is off the chain. Becoming a monster that will stand out for 2014. The rate might have slowed down but I believe its still strengthening. The eye is now really warm and circular with a perfect CDO that is becoming much wider. IMO its at least 150 knots bare minimum, maybe 155 knots. Looks like Hurricane Rita at peak but now the CDO is becoming more perfect than even her! Its CDO is transforming more like Haiyan's CDO.

The posts in this forum are NOT official forecast and should not be used as such.

[hurricanes1234]

No words to describe this...

[dexterlabio]

Make the CDO a bit colder and it will be like Haiyan. Right now it looks way more intense than Halong.

[xtyphooncyclonex]

Eerily reminds me of Super Typhoon Haiyan. The movement, structure, convection and intensity; Just wow. But Haiyan's cloud tops were MUCH COLDER than of Genevieve.

[xtyphooncyclonex]

I somewhat want this to last longer and that the shear would decrease over the track it would go through. This would be like Ioke 2006. IMO, I guess that this would not weaken as fast as the JTWC forecast, and this is the opposite of what the JMA shows.

[euro6208]

It does look like haiyan but what is lacking is a curved band to the west and extremely cold convection and warm eye...

[RL3AO]

Lets go easy with the Haiyan comparisons. This doesn't even qualify for CMG around the center much less CDG.

Yes, and that is one thing that needs to be improved, but it can not. Conditions aren't as favorable as during Haiyan.

[euro6208]

Will this get upgraded into a category 5?

Anxiously waiting for the 12Z BT...

Dvorak numbers from PGTW and KNES are 7.0 while ADT is up to 7.1 (143 knots)...
