The convective asymmetry in the inner band region has increased during the last few microwave scans, with very little convection now occurring in the western semicircle. The eyewall is still closed off, but it should open up over the next few hours (perhaps right now given the deteriorating IR appearance), and Roke should weaken pretty substantially before landfall in Japan.

No. The US Navy discontinued operational recon in 1987. Since then, there have been some research missions and Taiwan will fly storms that might affect them, but otherwise, there is no recon in the basin.

A slight correction-the US AIR FORCE ended operational recon in 1987-the Navy ended theirs much, much sooner than that.

I stumbled across this site the other day looking for Australian archived radar images and found this cool satellite loop of Typhoon Nanmadol on the weatherchaser website. Something to watch while we wait for the next WPAC system to eventuate:

gotta laugh at Talas struggling to consolidate...:lol:

anyway, the next system might not be far behind-just looking at 98W appearance...

Nesat now making landfall north of Baler which is reporting a 10 minute wind of 45 mph. Most of Luzon is getting some rain and flooding and landslides in northern Luzon will be the main problem. Since Manila, like Tucson and Phoenix, floods at the mere hint of rain, they will also have flooding there. The storm should coast out north of Poro Point near Laoag in about 12 hours.
