October[edit]

Week 1[edit]

96W.INVEST[edit]

There's a 96W near 14.3N 146.3E. There's a TCFA graphic there, but it's not related to this system (the position is wrong). --Coredesat (talk) 02:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TS0617 RUMBIA[edit]

TS Rumbia from JMA. Still FAIR from JTWC. – Chacor 13:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw tropical cyclone forcasts, possible Fujiwhara interaction? - SpLoT 16:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely possible, since Bebinca has quite a large circulation and may attract Rumbia... =P I remember looking at one of ECMWF's forecast tracks, it showed one big TC, probably Bebinca, engulfing the smaller one, probably Rumbia... Interesting, this. Typhoonchaser 16:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TCFA. – Chacor 17:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is October the peak of the Pacific typhoon season? --IrfanFaiz 00:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Normally it should be September (?) But we've had so little storms this year, we need a consolation prize :) Typhoonchaser 03:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holy crap this storm looks intense! I have a hard time believing that this isn't close to category 5 intensity. Let's just hope it weakens before it hits the Philippines. It's got perfect outflow, a very clear, definitive eye; this is a classic storm. bob rulz 00:33, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
NRL currently reads 120 knots, JMA 12am advisory had the storm go from 85 knots to 100 knots in 4 hours. -- グリフオーザー 01:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Compare. JMA 28/00Z - 55 kt, 985 hPa. JMA 29/00Z - 100 kt, 920 hPa. – Chacor 02:02, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Holy Cow!!! Cimaron looks like a Category 5 or a clone of Ioke, lets just hope nothing bad can haapen from Cimaron. — Alastor Moody (T + C + U) 02:20, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's already beaten the intensity forecasts, just like Xangsane did. Fortunately, I don't think the north of Luzon is very densely populated (unless someone can correct me). Pobbie Rarr 02:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The eastern coast of Luzon isn't very populated, which is why Xangsane did relatively little damage. bob rulz 03:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like it's starting to weaken now. bob rulz 03:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, NRL now has it at 130kt/910mb. Which would make it a super typhoon (gulp). Pobbie Rarr 04:44, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I went to sleep, it was at 965 hPa. Now it's 910 hPa. This storm is really deepening quickly (or rapidly). Forecasted 130 kt by 09Z. - SpLoT / (talk) 05:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NRL at 0630Z says 140 kt, 898 mbar. – Chacor 07:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Shit, so much for that weakening...it must've been going through a mini eyewall replacement cycle when I looked at it or something...or maybe I was going crazy. But damn this storm is amazing!! It's down to 898mb! bob rulz 09:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Super Typhoon 22W (Cimaron)[edit]

Super Typhoon at 09Z from JTWC. - SpLoT / (talk) 09:31, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of recent satellite intensity bulletins have suggested the possibility of this storm being a T8.0/8.0 (170 knots, 858 mbar), which would make this a new world record. However, I highly doubt JMA will recognise this. – Chacor 10:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This could be the storm of 2006 for the world at this rate... CrazyC83 15:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Steadied at 140 kts for two warnings, shouldn't be able to continue to intensify as it is over the hilly terrain of Luzon now... Typhoonchaser 15:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The wind speed of 170 knots (195 mph) would actually tie Sally & Opal of 1964.Mitchazenia V5.0 16:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's made landfall. Let's just hope that since it hit a sparsely-populated area that it will do relatively little damage. bob rulz 17:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's reminiscent of Typhoon Imbudo and Typhoon Zeb. —Cuiviénen 18:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fortunately, the storm seems to have only killed one person, but I thought it would have killed more. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 22:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well down to 115 knots (135 mph) already at 2100.Mitchazenia V5.0 22:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forecasts point towards gradual strengthening, but not to cat5 again, slamming into Vietnam (near Da Nang) at about 75kt. - SpLoT / (talk) 15:48, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holy @#$&%*@#!!! I never knew Cimaron made landfall at Category 5, i thought it was rather like Xangsane aroung cat 3 or 4. Lets just hope Vietman dosen't get beaten up by a mass of swirling clouds. — Alastor Moody (T + C + U) 05:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Now it looks a lot like Chanchu when it was in the S. China Sea becoming ex-tropical, or may Camiron is going to the same fate. — Alastor Moody (T + C + U) 06:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, I don't think Cimaron will become extratropical... it's forecast to move to Vietnam and weaken because of the northeast monsoon (and land effects). Oh by the way, HKO hoisted Standby Signal No. 1 at 2:20 pm. Typhoonchaser 07:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recurve, read JTWC warning. Forecast for Hainan or Southern China, west of Hong Kong. Intensifying slightly. - SpLoT / (talk) 14:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning #20's a huge deviation from the earlier warnings! This is especially interesting for Hong Kongers like me, we haven't had a No. 8 for ages... Typhoonchaser 15:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
JTWC forecasts direct hit on Hong Kong as TS. Wanna add a HKO link now? - SpLoT / (talk) 13:13, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
HKO link should be added any time TC Signal 1 is hoisted. Currently HK still has Signal 1 lifted, but HKO doesn't seem to think there will be a direct hit. However, with the size of this storm, it is still very likely that HK will experience at least TS-force winds. – Chacor 13:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at HKO and JTWC forecasts, it looks like there is a rather high probability for gale-force winds indeed... We might as well get our first signal 8 this year in November! However HKO are saying that the chance for hoisting the strong wind signal 3 early this morning (Thursday HKT) is low - it's moving very slowly. Typhoonchaser 16:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JTWC now forecasts it to move very slowly and gradually dissipate. I highly doubt signal 8 in Hong Kong will be required now, maybe not even signal 3 if JTWC's scenario occurs. Insanephantom 02:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very complicated ridging, might move northeast and strengthen or southwest and weaken. Landfall not predicted at all. Hong Kong is safe. - SpLoT / (talk) 08:14, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Downgraded to JMA STS. Weakening rapidly, JTWC predicts dissipation over water at TAU 36. Probably will not make any landfall. Moving southwest. - SpLoT / (talk) 16:04, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a really interesting storm, latest intensity - JTWC says it's 45 kts and JMA says it's 55 kts - both figures as of 6 am UTC. Any reasons for this huge difference? JMA is 10-min-sustained, too... JTWC forecasts it to weaken into an LPA within 2 days, JMA still gives it 40 kts after 72 hours... Typhoonchaser 09:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On FNMOC's satellite image, it says Cimaron is now only 35 kts now. Why should JTWC continue to give a lower strength than JMA, when JTWC is 1-min standard sustained and JMA is 10-min? Insanephantom 14:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Typhoon Chebi[edit]

How wrong they both were. To compare: JTWC 03Z 55 kt/984mbar, NRL 0630Z 115kt/927mbar; JMA 03Z 55 kt/985 hPa, JMA 06Z 95kt/945 hPa. – Chacor 07:17, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

surprised PAGASA hasn't posted a special advisory with this dangerous situation. -- グリフオーザー 07:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Chebi is still some distance away from the Philippines. It's not too late if they raise the signal No.3 at 5pm as signal No.3 means winds of greater than 100 kph up to 185 kph may be expected in 18 hours.Momoko 07:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The concern here will probably be whether this gets strong enough to be the second typhoon in a row to force Storm Signal 4. – Chacor 07:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About the constraints, not only AFWA, JTWC also stated that constraints were borken.(JTWC: T6.0/6.0/D4.0/24HRS STT: D2.5/06HRS, AFWA: T6.5/6.5/D4.0/24HRS/STT: D3.0/06HRS)Momoko 08:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This rapid deepening is so amazing! 6 hours ago it was a struggling tropical storm not expected to intensify very much until it's off the coast of Luzon, and now it's already a Cat 3/Cat 4 equivalent typhoon! Typhoonchaser 09:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JTWC TS, JMA TS. Flaring convection seems to be north of storm center. The two typhoon centres seem to be taking different centers.

Hmmm, seems like even the flaring convection is weakening a little, from the latest imagery on the CWB satellite. But it's gone through many of these weakening-strengthening cycles, I don't see why it can't do it again, unless shear increases dramatically or there is suddenly more dry air... typhoonchaser 16:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
