WPAC: GONI - Post-Tropical
Moderator: S2k Moderators
Re: WPAC: GONI - Severe Tropical Storm
I’m extra bullish with my prediction: 150-155 kt and 900-910 mbar. The very deep CDO and tiny eye at this point indicate Goni is going to be something other than a normal Cat 5.

Re: WPAC: GONI - Severe Tropical Storm
Goni is doing everything he can to be the stronger of the two this time. I think it will be pretty close when both storms are done

Well not yet. Goni seems to be having trouble completely clearing its eye. It’s probably “just” a Category 2 right now.

Yeah obviously not a Cat 5 yet but it could get stronger than 140kts... The real question is how will the JTWC handle it? They struggle with RI sometimes

I thought they had 5.5 earlier today, after the 15z advisory.

Re: WPAC: GONI - Severe Tropical Storm
The eye looks like it’s collapsing. Maybe mid-level shear struck again?

Re: WPAC: GONI - Typhoon
There must be some serious discussion ongoing at JTWC right now... Best track update is over an hour late!
EDIT: As soon as I posted that it updated...
22W GONI 201029 1800 16.3N 133.4E WPAC 120 943
Also it appears the 12z BT was revised to 90kts

Holy ****, all the way up to 120 kt in just six hours! Goni’s 6hr intensification of +40 mph is the highest all year, exceeding Amphan and Haishen (both +30 mph).

They were pretty aggressive as well during Haishen’s RI phase, but then refuses to upgrade it to a Cat 5 despite maintaining a full W ring around a +20C eye for like a full day.
