Worldwide Tropical Update: 26 July

#1 Postby senorpepr » Sun Jul 25, 2004 11:26 pm

I had a few things come up late this evening that kept me away from making an evening update. Of course, after all that settled down, I had to head to work. Nonetheless, below is the statistical data (lat, long, winds, pressure, etc.) that you would normally find in the update. You can still utilize all the links on the webpage for the latest advisories, tracks, and satellite images. I should get an update loaded on the webpage tomorrow morning.

A) TY Namtheun (13W): at 26/0000Z...
Position near 24.7N 148.3E (425 mi E of Iwo Jima)
Movement toward the NW at 8 mph

Minimum central pressure is 976 mb / 28.82"
Dvorak estimates: 4.5/4.5

B) Invest (98L): at 26/0000Z...
Position near 36.8N 73.2W (170 mi E of Virginia Beach, Virginia)

TY Namtheun looks very impressive; I'd expect it to exceed current intensity forecasts with ease.

Here's a link to a station on the Bonin Islands which are in the path of the west pac. typhoon. Unfortanately, they aren't very consistant for hourly obs.

Ah, as I would have thought, they take Typhoon Namtheun to 150mph, which seems about right. I doubt it'll make CAT5, but borderline at 155mph is possible.

Regardless, 150 mph is super typhoon status.

Actually I just looked at it again. CDO cloud tops have rapidly warmed, outflow isn't looking as nice, the storm isn't nearly as symmetrical as it was a few hours ago.. and overall it's just looking pretty ragged. Wouldn't expect anymore immediate strengthening from Namtheun.
