Re: 2016 WPAC Season
EURO has a long tracking disturbance emanating from south of Guam. Doesn't do much with it until it reaches 20N.

Re: 2016 WPAC Season
These monsoon trough systems don't look like they're going to be fast movers.

Re: 2016 WPAC Season
For the past 2 runs, EURO has trended Haima stronger and coming uncomfortably close to land. It has been depicting something developing from this area for the past couple days so i'd take EURO over GFS.
978 east of Luzon.

958 as it clips Northern Luzon.

Re: 2016 WPAC Season
Past couple runs GFS dropped this Haima wannabe and it brings back the dateline system...Akoni/Meari.

The CPac name "Walaka" has yet to be used.

There you go. I forgot how Walaka wasn't used yet.

That area south of Guam has been devoid of any cyclones so far this season. More than likely we will see something before the season ends.

Kelvin Wave moving through the WPAC likely fueled Aere's, Songda, and future Sarika. It could fuel more storms.

Re: 2016 WPAC Season
The 00Z GFS has begun to exuberantly develop the second disturbance in the monsoon trough. It probably won't be too long before we see another invest in this area.

Re: 2016 WPAC Season
Out of all the 9 official (JMA) typhoons this year, only Mindulle failed to become a major (Cat3+) system.

Re: 2016 WPAC Season
Six of the eight have been have been since the start of September too (Namtheun, Meranti, Malakas, Megi, Chaba, Songda). Only Nepartak and Lionrock (and Mindulle) were before then.
Also, I guess I didn't realize JMA dropped Nida down.

Definitely a back-loaded season, especially given the latest model guidance with 93W and the next one.

Yep, somewhat like 2013 in that respect. Although this season hasn't been puking out typhoons as fast as post-Usagi 2013 did, the parade of significant systems beginning with Meranti has certainly been noteworthy. James Reynolds was talking about 2013 as a possible analog a while back, and it may end up being a pretty decent one.

Also on the 00Z GFS. It briefly reaches TS status west of the dateline and weakens.
