We are starting to see the eyewall on Guam NEXRAD Radar. I assume with the distance this is the very top of the clouds.

What an absolute monster this is... Only April and this could already potentially be the strongest storm of the entire year

Starting to notice the bursting we typically see with ERCs.

What a run nevertheless. Has a strong case unofficially for the strongest cold season WPAC TC in the IR era.

Interesting. How do you define cold season in this context?


December through April.

So, subjective DT is down to 7.0 as far as I can tell (though we'll see what JTWC has for their 0300z bulletin), but ironically adj. ADT has started to rebound over the past couple of hours from 7.2 to 7.4. CI is still 7.5 based on FT7.0+0.5. I would say that the JTWC's BT point for 0z is pretty much accurate as of 04z; Sinlaku has clearly begun to decline from its peak. Current intensity 150~155 kt and 897~903, would be my guess.

It does look like there could be an EWRC in progress, though I don't have the experience to recognise those with much confidence. Could just be deterioration due to a no-longer-optimal environment.
