Could this be the monster typhoon GFS is developing?

99W INVEST 140926 0600 5.0N 170.0E WPAC 15 NA

Could this be the monster typhoon GFS is developing?

it looks promising...

[xtyphooncyclonex]

It's far east and looks fairly organized. It is currently over a favorable environment, and due to the said status of the system this may be our next monster and possibly the first since Genevieve.

54 hours...

Looks like it will miss the Marianas...Track is solidly to the northwest and intensifying...Waters in this area are the warmest and untouched...

We'll see...

[mrbagyo]

Current model runs are in tight agreement that this is going to be a "FISH"

Down to 960...

933 mb!

Current model runs are in tight agreement that this is going to be a "FISH"

There are thousands of Islands that could get affected by this aka Micronesia which include the Marianas...

"FISH" in the sense that it will stay away from any major landmass. But yeah, it might affect the Marianas.

LOW chance!

AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 5.6N 166.3E,
APPROXIMATELY 208 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF KWAJALEIN. ANIMATED ENHANCED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN INTENSIVE AREA OF DEEP
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER. A 260957Z METOP-A MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS FRAGMENTED
CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN AND EASTERN QUADRANTS
WRAPPING TOWARDS THE CENTER. A 260958Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS AN ELONGATED
10 TO 15 KNOT CIRCULATION WITH 20 TO 25 KNOT WINDS OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS A POINT-SOURCE IS
LOCATED OVER THE SYSTEM PROVIDING EXCELLENT OUTFLOW CHANNELS AND
SUSTAINING THE PERSISTENT CONVECTION. ADDITIONALLY, WARM SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AND FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ARE CONDUCIVE FOR
DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO
20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1008
MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS LOW.

It's consolidating fast.

Remember, JTWC only discusses development chances over the next 24 hours. A "Low" chance doesn't mean that they don't think it will develop, it only means it won't likely be classified as a TC today.

12Z much further south with a 945 mb typhoon plowing through Pagan in the central NMA...

Has it bottoming out at 927 mb after it clears the islands and an incredibly strong typhoon east of Okinawa, 929 mb....

(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 5.6N
166.3E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 5.3N 166.3E, APPROXIMATELY 220 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF KWAJALEIN ATOLL. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS AN INTENSIVE AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH
A CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A 261222Z TRMM
MICROWAVE PARTIAL IMAGE REVEALS FRAGMENTED CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER
THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY WRAPPING TOWARDS THE CENTER. A 260958Z
ASCAT PASS SHOWS AN ELONGATED 10 TO 15 KNOT CIRCULATION WITH 20 TO
25 KNOT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE. HOWEVER, THE
KWAJALEIN RADAR LOOP DOES NOT CURRENTLY DEPICT ANY TURNING. UPPER-
LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS DIVERGENT EASTERLY AND SLIGHT POLEWARD
OUTFLOW, PROVIDING OVERALL EXCELLENT OUTFLOW AND SUSTAINING THE
PERSISTENT CONVECTION. ADDITIONALLY, FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
IS CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED
TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO
MEDIUM.

it's just been upgraded to medium but I can already smell a TCFA.

1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
150 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 5.2N 166.5E TO 8.6N 160.6E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 15 TO 20 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 261800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 5.6N 166.0E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 03

PASS SHOWED AN ELONGATED 10 TO 15 KNOT CIRCULATION WITH 20 TO 25
KNOT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN SEMI-CIRCLE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS
REVEALS A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT AS MODERATE (10 TO 20 KNOT) VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR IS BEING OFFSET BY WIDELY DIVERGENT EASTERLY OUTFLOW AND
THE MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES
IN THE AREA ARE CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE
