replies: text: Yay, the first Central Pacific storm in 4 years. I think the fact that there's a storm in the Central Pacific forecast to reach hurricane strength is a sign that there could be at least a mild El Nino trying to form. bob rulz 07:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: As noted above, Johnston Atoll is in the path of the storm. Discussion 2: ONE IMPORTANT ITEM TO NOTE...BASED ON CURRENT FORECAST...IOKE WILL PASS BY ABOUT 75 MILES TO THE SOUTHWEST OF JOHNSTON ISLAND MID DAY ON THE 22ND. THIS WOULD PUT THE ISLAND AND THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE THERE INTO THE 50KT PLUS WINDS THREAT. JOHNSTON IS ALSO SUCCEPTIBLE TO HIGH SURF FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST AND IOKE hAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING THAT AS WELL. INTERESTS IN AND AROUND JOHNSTON SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO LATER FORECASTS FROM CPHC. – Chacor 09:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow! Will Loke be a hurricane? cause the NRL forecastes this to be a least a minimal Cat. 1 hurricane. If its true, then it will be about 4 years since the CPac had a hurricane, with the most recent one from 2002. Alastor Moody (talk) 09:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "NRL forecast" = CPHC forecast in graphical format. Discussion 2 peaks Ioke at 70 knots. GFDL peaks Ioke at 95 kt. – Chacor 09:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I know they still both forecast Ioke to be a hurricane at whatever category it is (the CHPC forecasts it to peak at 81 mph). But they doubt it will cross the dateline. Alastor Moody (talk) 09:16, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's actually not true. They just doubt it'll cross the dateline within the forecast period, as they don't issue forecasts beyond 120 hours. 70 knots is a Category 1 hurricane, by the way. – Chacor 09:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

text: a possible Category 2 storm by Tuesday. -- グリフオーザー 15:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not going to happen, Crazy - shear is quite high, and it almost definitely won't make it across the date line as anything more than a minimal 65 or 70-kt hurricane, according to the latest discussion. One more thing: keep the wild predictions to yourself or off Wikipedia, please, per the deletion of the AOIs. – Chacor 15:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well look at the Central Pacific getting in on the action! In cync with the Atlantic's eerie silence, the Pacific gets more and more interesting. I agree with Chacor, Crazy is living up to his(neutral gender) name, but I'm still very much impressed. I don't expect it to be anything more than a minimal hurricane, but the prospect of having a hurricane at all in the Central Pacific is exciting. Hawaii's not scared and there are only a couple military guys and some birds on Johnston Island. That place is a rock in the middle of the middle of nowhere. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 17:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Right. After all, if you lived in Hawaii, owned a boat and wanted to get away from it all, going to one of the uninhabited atolls like Johnston or Palmyra could be a very nice weekend. It happens a lot. There might also be a few personnel there checking on the wildlife refuge. --Golbez 00:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The power of these storms never ceases to amaze me. "I am the God of Thunder//in my kingdom of the skies. I am a being of rage//And I choose who lives and who dies."

replies: text: Wow! A 40mph increase in 6 hours. This is something you don't see often in the Central Pacific, and given the storm's history I wouldn't be surprised if it became more powerful than is currently forecast. This went from tropical depression to major hurricane in 42 hours! Truly this is a phenomenal storm. bob rulz 21:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, it's very impressive, though we should wait until re-analysis. IMO, the storm always looked stronger than what the CPHC stated it was. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Indeed, the inner-ring of convection is very impressive. It essentially looks like an annular hurricane with spiral bands added on. Pobbie Rarr 23:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow! Look at Ioke go! It looks so beautiful. It even looks almost like an annular storm with its clearly visible eyewall. Its even impressive to see another major hurricane in the CPac from 4 years ago.Alastor Moody (talk) 23:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: LOL, "annular storm with spiral bands added on". An annular hurricane is a powerful hurricane without bands. Hurricane Ioke still has its bands, so looks like, and is, a powerful hurricane. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay Hink, I didn't say that, all I said was it was impressive seeing a major hurricane in the CPac from the most recent one in 2002. Alastor Moody (talk) 00:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The GFS has also been consistently forecasting this to turn westward into the WPAC and threaten Japan. I don't entirely trust forecasts out that far, but it's something to keep an eye on, since the forecast tracks have also been tending westward. bob rulz 03:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The CPHC thinks it will end soon with Ioke peaking as a 140-mph Cat 4. It's possible but unlikely that Ioke will become a Cat 5; it would be the first Cat 5 in the CPac since 1994 and the first storm that formed in the CPac to become a Cat 5. (Unless Patsy in 1959 was originally a CPac storm.) —Cuiviénen 03:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK, the only CPac storms to reach Cat 5 were Oliwa and Paka, but they did so in the WPac as super typhoons. No homegrown storm has ever reached Cat 5 within the CPac. CrazyC83 04:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

text: What the? Category 4 already? --Irfanfaiz 03:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Also, when was the most recent CPac Category 4 hurricane (before Ioke of 2006) that did not cross the dateline? Alastor Moody (talk) 06:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cat 4 in the CPac is difficult to obtain, and I think even counting EPac to CPac crossovers you'd have a hard time finding it. Daniel was a Cat 2 when it crossed over earlier this year. I'll go have a look. – Chacor 06:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Looks like Iniki in 1992, but that formed as a TD in the EPac. --Ajm81 06:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 1994 Pacific hurricane season - Emilia, Gilma and John, all EPac storms, crossed into the CPac and obtained Category Five status. However, John did cross the date line. – Chacor 07:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Looking through the CPHC's archives, there are no storms that reached Cat 4 intensity in the CPac that started as a depression/storm in the CPac (unlike Iniki, TD18E) and did not cross the dateline. The only possibility is Hurricane Dot (1959), but the formation of Dot is unclear, and might have been in the EPac. – Chacor 07:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Well so much for the disscussion above cause the NRL forecasts Ioke to edge the dateline was a minimal Category 3 hurricane while Ioke probably enters JMA's grounds within 5 days. Alastor Moody (talk) 08:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's something funny. All the Hawaiian names beginning with 'I' (and only 'I') have been retired. Is there any chance that Ioke will be worthy enough to have its name retired? ANY? RaNdOm26 08:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hello! This would qualify as a bona-fide hurricane, your honor. My goodness, what a beast. Note, the entire world has had just 3 Cat. 5's so far this year (Glenda, Monica, and Saomai). Ioke probably won't get there, but this is one very impressive storm. Daniel still takes the cake though. He challenges Monica for the most impressive storm this year. Just so you know, there hasn't been a storm this strong in the Central Pacific since 1994, when there were three that were at least this strong, but all of them formed in the East Pacific. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 21:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Major Hurricane Ioke

message: Looking at the latest NRL track map (It has the smaller islands on it, unlike the CPHC's), it looks like the bubble of uncertainty passes very near the Marshall Islands, and the line goes straight over Wake Island. The NRL map says it will hit Wake in 72 hours. --Golbez 20:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Small atolls like that seldom have any effect on monster storms like this. Eyewall replacement cycles will inhibit strengthening but toward the end of the forecast period, CPHC says that shear will increase somewhat and start a weakening trend. That sounds like it may eventually be the end of Ioke. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 21:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct. I just cannot believe the GFDL, which continues to get insane (even I cannot see such insanity). Now it is saying 864 mbar and 210 mph, which is pushing the limits of physics... CrazyC83 01:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, semi-perminant. I think storms like Ioke would make the post even less perminant (or non-existant, depending on how close a shave we're talking about here).

replies: text: Have you read the latest JTWC prognostic reasoning? I'm assuming you haven't, because there's a mention about a recurvature past TAU 72. – Chacor 08:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Maybe the personnel at the station was evacuated from the island. --IrfanFaiz 09:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, yeah, we knew that. The islane was completely evacuated. The weather station is automated, though. --Golbez 10:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Now 984.40 mbar from that station, Ioke has passed it i guess. --IrfanFaiz 22:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ioke is now undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle, 
i hope that will weaken it and finally ending this annular tropical cyclone-like behaviour. --12:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Ioke is NOT annular. Anyway, it's down to 115 kt/927mb - just about hanging onto Cat. 4 status now. Pobbie Rarr 13:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

text: What does that mean? Ioke was never annular. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know she's not annular but she behaved like annular. --IrfanFaiz 23:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How? If you're refering to her retaining high intensity, that's irrelevant; Ioke still went through (and still is going through) eyewall-replacement cycles, which is why she has moved between Categories 4 and 5 a number of times. A true annular hurricane would typically retain uniform intensity for a considerable period of time. Pobbie Rarr 02:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Now a Category 3, with the eyewalls still contracting. I hope it would not restrengthen. --IrfanFaiz 12:27, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Not yet. It still has several days of life ahead of it. It's just not expected to affect anymore land, as far as I know. bob rulz 04:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
