26D103** For April 13, 2026*****

[#SINLAKU cont.] The storm is expected to pass through the island chain over the next couple days. [RL] #MAILA: 25 mph, 35 kph / 1007 mbar It still exists. == The next outlook is expected 2:30 - 4:30 AM UTC tomorrow. Angelic Panda Meteorology

#APMetTWO 26D102 Global #TropicalWeather Outlook April 12, 2026 @ 1:50 AM UTC == [C5] #SINLAKU: 180 mph, 285 kph / 897 mbar Slightly weakened its peak a little while ago, but remains a violent #typhoon. Preparations in #Guam and the #Marianas should be quickly completed [...]

Typhoon #Sinlaku has rapidly intensified into a menacing Category 5 typhoon. The extremely stable eye is surrounded by -80 C convection which is normally seen in high echelon typhoons with winds of 165+ kts. Currently, the official intensity from the JTWC is 150 kt and a pressure of 902 mb but the storm is likely stronger then this. At this point, some more strengthening is possible over the next day but that is highly dependent on whether an eyewall replacement cycle (EWRC) occurs or not. At this point, there are no indictions of an EWRC but they can be quite hard to predict. Sinlaku is expected to strike the Northern Mariana Islands in under 48 hours as an extremely strong typhoon so all residents on the islands need to prepare for impact. A landfall is possible for the Northern Mariana Islands bit is possible the storm makes a close pass with no landfall. Regardless, impacts will be extreme either way.

Absolute atmospheric buzzsaw – potentially rivaling Melissa in strength – over the tropical northwest Pacific. Super Typhoon Sinlaku is northwest of the Federated States of Micronesia. Based on satellite imagery, it's easily Category 5 strength. It's tall, cold and sinister.

#Typhoon #SINLAKU has very likely reached Category 5 intensity as it continues its rapid intensification. It’s expected to impact #Guam and the #Marianas within the next couple days and preparations should be well underway, regardless if the storm is around this strength or not.

The next outlook is expected 2:30 - 4:30 AM UTC tomorrow. Angelic Panda Meteorology

[TS] #VAIANU: 60 mph, 95 kph / 976 mbar It managed to make landfall on #NewZealand’s #NorthIsland as a tropical cyclone, although it’s borderline extratropical. [RL] #MAILA: 30 mph, 45 kph / 1000 mbar Lingering over eastern #PapuaNewGuinea.

#APMetTWO 26D102 Global #TropicalWeather Outlook April 12, 2026 @ 2:50 AM UTC == [C4] #SINLAKU: 145 mph, 230 kph / 932 mbar Rapidly intensifying, expected to become a super #typhoon today. Set to impact #Guam and #Marianas; preparations there should be well underway by now.

[RL] #MAILA: 45 mph, 75 kph / 995 mbar It has quickly degenerated into a remnant low. Some rain may still be present in portions of eastern #PapuaNewGuinea. == The next outlook is expected 2:30 - 4:30 AM UTC tomorrow. Angelic Panda Meteorology

[C1] #VAIANU: 75 mph, 120 kph / 974 mbar Yes, somehow it’s still primarily tropical. Set to impact #NewZealand this weekend and preparations should be rushed to completion.
