Pseudo VIS of Super Typhoon #Hinnamnor
Peak1~3
The first Category 5 in the season across all basins. In the decades of satellite observations, it is the highest latitude Cat 5 in Western Pacific.🥳
Typhoon Hinnamnor looks like its going to slam Jeju and the peninsula pretty hard. Fingers crossed it doesn’t leave too much destruction in its wake. Time to batten down the hatches.
Typhoon #Hinnamnor has weakened considerably swirling between Taiwan and the northern Philippines with impressive convective bursts around a ragged eye. Heavy rains are expected as the system moves northward, but landfall is still not likely. https://t.co/0LwJk0LIqE

That's a ridiculous amount of lightning for a tropical system. Dry air is really making a push in the west side of #TyphoonHinnamnor now. The combination of dry air and increasing Windshear from the NW has degraded the storm some as it has tracked SWward away from Okinawa.
The past 24 hours of Typhoon Hinnamnor. JTWC estimates the storm has a category 5-equivalent intensity of 140 kt.

A crazy frame of typhoon #Hinnamnor at 1050z today. Band 9 water vapor temperatures reached -12C (extremely impressive; eye only dries to that extent with very powerful tropical cyclones) while band 13 infrared revealed an eye near 22C with a -70C CDO over 200km in diameter.
