Typhoons were rarely retired because they would have run out of names after a few seasons.

A handful were retired among the pre-2000 era of naming.

Typhoon Ike 1984
Super Typhoon Mike 1990
Super Typhoon Mireille 1991
Tropical Storm Thelma 1991
Super Typhoon Omar 1992

Since 2000, 4 "names" have been removed.

2001 Typhoon Vamei
2002 Super Typhoon Chataan
2002 Typhoon Rusa
2003 Super Typhoon Imbudo

And for once, the JMA has a much stronger intensity than the JTWC, who have this as a 40kt TS, and that's a one-minute speed, too. I can kind of see their logic, though, as this doesn't have a forward right quadrant whatsoever.

I would have to agree with the JTWC with its 40 knots (45 mph) estimate. First, the system hasn't been able since it formed to contract its circulation, and as all we know, smaller systems develop faster than larger systems. Second, its convective pattern is just horrible, the system has always been lop-sided to the south, keeping the northern sections always dry. Third, going back to the circulation, it's very broad, and usually systems have a harder time to intensify. It's just a mess. I don't know how this system is almost a typhoon according to JMA, because 55 knots 10-min is equal to 62.7 knots 1-min, a typhoon will be 64 knots.

These 2 systems are pretty close to each other. How is this going to effect each system?

There's strong northely shear affecting this system. I would agree with JTWC. This storm has peaked already.

The half of the storm missing, to the north, is interesting to me.

The Yellow Sea is north, too--by Korea.

The Yellow Sea gets its name from the sand that flows down the Yellow River.

The Yellow River flows from what is now filling to be the largest dammed lake in the world behind Three Gorge dam. The lake will be the size of the largest fresh water lake in the world, Lake Superior.

Last month the dam itself was completed and the river was rediverted back to the dam.

The West Pac is going to be dam interesting this year.

60kts which is a fair bit ahead of the SSD dvorak estimate. Not sure where to get JMA dvorak estimates from though.

Looks like Bilis is trying to get his act together, just before landfall occurs... sometime.
