West Pacific Tropical Action 2011


Recommended Posts

yep you can see the developing ring on both microwave and radar... should be soon within the next 12 hours.

Its a shame it doesn't look binary interaction is in the cards for these two systems anymore since Talas is expected to re-curve before we have the chance. This would be a particularly interesting case since the much stronger super typhoon is much smaller than the large tropical storm. These type of interactions are the most unpredictable because you have no idea if the more potent systems wins or the larger circulation.

thanks for the inputs, i hope it intensifies again tonight (WPAC time) so it can get to Cat 5 before the ERC begins.. btw JWC now up to 135kts still Cat 4 but forecast peak winds now up to 145kts in 12 hours...

yeah i was very curious as the DCI's effects as well, prob wont happen anymore huh... but apparently AM19 doesnt like those...:arrowhead:

NW quad is seeing some warming cloud tops with land interaction, but this one of the most impressive cyclones I've seen come ashore. Between the stall before landfall, powering through the ERC, and the rather unexpected jog towards the NW...some very interesting stuff went on with this system over the past 24 hours.

Definitely a top-notch landfall. That region of Luzon gets the world's best landfalls. Megi last year was even nicer.

Patrick, where did you get the radar images?

Also, the cold cloud tops over western Luzon may spell trouble... there are some serious mountains in western Luzon and the tropical moisture bumping up against them could spell tremendous rains and flooding.

those were taken from PAGASA's facebook page:

they are still in the process of revamping their website so live radar images are not yet posted on their official site...

right now, they only post radar images if they feel like to...:arrowhead: last image they posted was 15 hours ago :thumbsdown: but according to their tweet, at 5:30am (PhT) the eyewall is now brushing Cabutunan Point (in the northeastern coast of Luzon) kinda like the peninsula sticking out if you look at a map)...

i will post here as soon as they tweet a pic or something

Wow, the new images look pretty cool already. Thanks for the updates Patrick.

i know...:gun_bandana:

they really kept on insisting it'll turn NE... anyway, never monitored its landfall but i saw some gusts of up to 160kph (100mph) this morning EDT, just before making landfall (radar image):

i'm becoming quite concerned now with Talas.. computer models slowly shifting the track westward with some bringing it towards Kanto later this week...

Surge threat to Tokyo... will be a quick mover, though, so not much overall impact to Japan

I'm still wondering if its ever going to make it to full fledged typhoon status... its had a half eyewall for the better part of the last 4 days. These Monsoonal circulations take forever even in favorable conditions.
