Ginx snewx Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Latest JTWC advisory has this at 135kt, strengthening to 145kt before landfall. Very favorable environment. Like you mentioned, only an ERC will stop it (at the cost of an expanded wind field, of course).They mention is undergoing one now so that will be complete with max strength at LF it appears, damn. Ground zero ,2 million people at 16 feet elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncforecaster89 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Although I am as fascinated with tropical cyclones as any other person, this is one instance where I am not excited about a land falling TC. This storm will likely take many lives and that's not something I can be excited about. A very sad and very serious situation developing there! That aside, it is a breathtakingly beautiful storm to look at, on the visible satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 That eye and core are tiny! Looks like an attempt at a moat in the northern semi-circle, so I'd guess this will attempt to undergo an ERC at some point before landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScreenHunter_54 Oct. 10 17.46.png Yeah I saw that earlier, whoever wrote that needs a swift smack on the head, potentially going to lead to needless casualties. Plus they aren't taking into account the size of the storm with regards to the surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxtrackercody Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Not sure if I should celebrate or be worried that Phailin is undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle right now. It's going to increase in size, widening its impact and increasing its surge. But it might not be as strong. Moot point either way -- East India is going to be nailed.

phil882 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yep there is a nice moat developing within the inner core... its probably reached its peak intensity, although given the wealth of convection surrounding Phalin the wind field will likely continue to expand in size.

Superstorm93 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Even if this does go through an EWRC and the wind field expands further, the amount of ocean the intense spiral bands are taking up will definitely wind up contributing to the surge potential to a degree. It was however, very interesting to watch the eyewall intensify and contract on MIMIC to a critical point where it was obvious that an EWRC was likely. Very interesting cyclone so far. Just hope it doesn't cause devastation like past BOB cyclones. Sent from Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Wow, nice symmetry to it! I would think a system wouldn't have that much open water and time to grow in that area of the Indian Ocean, but I guess there is good conditions there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 the Indian is ripe for strong cyclones over the North. West Pacific is obviously ripe. Even our own backyard has the potential energy lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmx Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Amazing...such perfect ER. Usually ERCs mean a weaker storm afterwards, because you need perfect conditions to recover from it...this time it will mean a stronger and higher IKE storm. It has been tracking south of the projected tracks by models and IMD/JTWC...I think Srikakulam is in the crosshairs here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
