ICYMI: Behold mighty #MELISSA in #Jamaica. High-end Category 5. Possibly the most intense #hurricane to make landfall in North America. And the fiercest of all the hurricanes I've witnessed. WATCH: https://t.co/029zr5NYjg
Super #Typhoon#CHAMPI is trekking across the open Pacific with estimated intensity at a whopping 160 knots/895 mb. That's up there with MELISSA when it hit Jamaica last year. An extreme specimen. It'll likely impact #Japan's Ryukyu Islands in a few days at much lower intensity.
As others have pointed out (like @EarthUncutTV), there've been several recent battles between "traditional" physical models & AI modelsβ& AI models have been mostly winning. Here's a new one: Euro ENS & HRES (orange/yellow) plow Super #Typhoon #CHAMPI into Taiwan; Google DeepMind (blue) recurves it into Japan. This is strong bifurcation: there'll be a winner & a loser.
