Re: WPAC: MALAKAS - Typhoon
Winds still need to catch up but this is almost a 5.5 on Dvorak.

This might be having issues with dry air again. The NNW side of the CDO is pretty warm and thin.

Re: WPAC: MALAKAS - Typhoon
What’s going on with GOES and Himawari on Tropical Tidbits? This is the longest I’ve ever seen satellite imagery being delayed.

Re: WPAC: MALAKAS - Typhoon
Malakas continues to intensify and is now the first major typhoon this year. Agency fixes range from T5.0 (90kts) to T5.5 (102kts) while ADT has it T6.4 (125kts). Initial intensity is set at 115kts, but it may be unrealistically high due to the presence of a loose CDO. I would say it's just 95-100kts now.

Re: WPAC: MALAKAS - Typhoon
Pretty sad there are no smap fixes right when it started to ramp up.

115 kt seems good. This looks like a typical low-end Cat 4, and while the CDO is lopsided, it’s much smoother than when it was a high 2/low 3.

Re: WPAC: MALAKAS - Typhoon

Best it’s ever looked. Solid T6.5 and axisymmetrization and improved eye definition has happened.

How the heck does he get a T#5.0 Cat 2 from this?

Easy 115-125 kt, but with that fix, the JTWC might downgrade Malakas to 105-110 kt.
