Re: SIO: HALIMA - Tropical Cyclone
GFS and ECMWF have been really confident in a potent system for over a week, and it’s evolution has been remarkably quick so far. Am confident this one will be yet another major hurricane.

Re: SIO: HALIMA - Tropical Cyclone

The way this is rotating convection and given how cold the cloud tops are this is probably a Category 2 now and will make a run at Category 4 or 5 before shear kicks in tomorrow.

JTWC agrees. The 18z BT intensity has been raised to 90 kt. Odds are good it becomes a 115-125 kt Cat 4 tomorrow.
Also, where is that satellite imagery from?

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: SIO: HALIMA - Tropical Cyclone
20z high-res microwave pass shows a pretty good inner core. The only issue facing Halima is that the SE eyewall is thin.

I'd say that's a good call from the JTWC, they noted a rapidly improving structure with a clear eye.

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.
Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.
Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information
Never say Never with weather! Because ANYTHING is possible!

Re: SIO: HALIMA - Tropical Cyclone

Coming down fast now due to shear. Dvorak never passed 6.0 so not confident it was much higher than 120-125.

Halima has lost the Eye, I can't find it anymore. (Saw it collapse on Windy)

Re: SIO: HALIMA - Severe Tropical Storm
115 kt 10-min = 130 - 135 kt (right?)
Halima will be the strongest cyclone in this season
