NH and Maine look like they're getting rocked just as hard as MASS

Poor Tolland, they got fringed.

So a deathband forms over ORH even if no model has one there.

WPAC, Indian Ocean, and Southern Hemisphere Tropical Cyclones
Amped replied to 1900hurricane's topic in Tropical Headquarters
GFS and ECMWF D9-10 showing a possible Philippines storm. Storms don't often form below 10N, but when they do, there isn't much shear, and SSTS stay high year round in these areas. -

Sandy definitely looked worse. If they had satellite in 1938 it probably wouldn't have looked much better. Transitioning storms aren't going to look as good on satellite. -

Probably down to a tame 100kts with a 10 foot storm surge over the worlds most populated area. No big deal. -

Taken a big jog west of the forecast track the past few hours. Moving due north as far as I can tell. -

You can see it's fighting off shear and dry and maintaining intensity. It will hit cooler SSTs after 00UTC but still above 26C until close to landfall. Also models show landfall between 15 and 18utc, this track looks a tad slow. -

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20171021/k10011185351000.html Transated 70 m/s= 157mph . Also yesterdays 12z Euro 24hrs had 926mb. Todays 12z was initialized to 956mb. Euro track goes right up Tokyo bay, GFS is west of it. -

EPS mean is almost right over Tokyo. Going to get a huge surge up the bay with that track. This thing probably has a lot more integrated kinnetic energy than Isabel or Sandy. -

This is going to get pretty ugly for Tokyo and a lot of Japan, hopefully they are well prepared. -

Not sure how -75.9, +19.5 is only a T6.3. -

Looks like Lan finally got it's bandwidth upgraded. -

You nailed it. That has been the issue. Lam developed as multiple surface circulations formed within a large surface trough. Over the past week, surface vorts have been competing within the large gyre. When you have that scenario, deep convection within one vort can suppress convection or create subsidence that affects parts of the overall core structure. However, it looks like a deep band is getting established and a dominate vortex will take over. The SSTs are plenty warm up to southern Japan. It may not reach Super Typhoon status, but I think it will definitly be a Cat 3/4 before the the typhoon nears Japan. Perhaps holds intensity enough to landfall as a 3. Latest microwave pass says big but healthy. HWRF shows a decent 36hrs ahead. Edit: Also you can see a second band on Himawari 8 rapidly making the core symmetric. Probably bombs away for real this time. http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/loop.asp?data_folder=himawari-8/himawari-8_band_03_sector_04&width=1020&height=720&number_of_images_to_display=48&loop_speed_ms=100 -

I really don't know whats killing convection on the north side, there doesn't seem to be enough shear or dry air to account for that look. Maybe the storms just too damn big. A 200mb right entrance region should start aiding it in about 24hrs, so pressure falls can resume despite the crappy structure. -

More convection on the NW side now. Should start to intensify rapidly. Euro would be a major hit for nearly all of Japan. -

Microcane? Nah to make up for the missing storms we'll just have one thats as big as all of them combined. -

Just when I thought this was the Irene of the WPAC, somehow it has made a comeback while skimming the coast. Very nice looking for a CAT1 -

12z Gfs and Euro went west and stronger. Going to be a good chase for josh. Possible sub 930 landfall. -

Not supposed to stay small. Ecmwf and Gfs now make landfall next Monday/Tuesday. -

Certainly possible, Going to be nuts in the west pac, even if it doesn't make landfall. -
Maybe up to 3" in the NE MD crush zone!!!

DCA doing better than Frederick. I have about 1.0-1.2
