Re: 2015 WPAC Season
This looks more and more like a recurving storm as per the recent model runs... Let's see if this would be the first typhoon of the year, IMO the chance isn't that low.

Re: 2015 WPAC Season
There's a fairly decent chance of a typhoon, however the 06Z GFS run is much weaker showing a 45-50 kt tropical storm.
Conditions are quite conducive...


It looks like a recurve is unlikely for now. Like WHAT HAPPENED to Bopha and Hagupit, and at the same time of year LINGLING..

ECMWF also showing a well-defined closed TROPICAL STORM and GFS & Parallel show a typhoon.... Definitely raising an eyebrow

The key difference tho is the track. Like what happened with Bopha and Hagupit, EC is with a landfall (hitting northern Mindanao) while GFS is with a recurve...

We could see many intense long trackers originating near the dateline in this el nino like setup. Huge impact for the islands.

Re: 2015 WPAC Season
As we head to the climatogically slowest two months of the season, February and March, here is a look comparing history to 2015...
21 Tropical Storms in 2014 which is down from 2013...With el nino booming, could we see more?

Although lower than 2013 in TS, 2014 saw more Super Typhoons including three 155 knots monsters...Will we see more long trackers and thus category 5's?

Should ramp up soon...

Could happen since all models sayin no development until the first week of february and that would allow the ocean to get even warmer...

February and March... the end of the NE Monsoon and the start of the EASTERLIES. Not good for TC development.

Perhaps our next system or storm will not form early next month or within the next 2 to 3 weeks based on the models... IMO I'm guessing something like Faxai or Sanvu but stronger. Again, it is just a guess.
