Lester的巔峰達到Cat.4  120kts  , 這是二次巔峰.

這個在西太平洋大概就一個中颱上限~強颱下限左右強度.





二次巔峰有完整的W環.  

我覺得雷斯特是東太平洋今年目前最完整的.

布拉斯風眼清空,對流已經剩LG
喬杰特的話是風眼清晰. 但對流不行
瑪德琳就是整體比較略差的.

後期應該會從夏威夷北部海面上去. 進入西太平洋機會很低

03Z正報再度評價120節，重回C4，預計24小時後進入中太

HURRICANE LESTER DISCUSSION NUMBER  26
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       EP132016
800 PM PDT TUE AUG 30 2016

Lester has shown a sudden reintensification this evening as a
symmetric eyewall with very cold cloud tops is encircling a 25 nm
diameter warm eye.  Subjective Dvorak classifications from SAB and
TAFB are at 6.5 and 6.0 current intensity numbers, respectively,
while the CIMSS Advanced Dvorak Technique is at 6.3.  A blend of
these gives 120 kt maximum winds at the initial time, up
considerably from the previous advisory.

Lester is anticipated to experience quite low vertical shear for
the next few days, though the lukewarm SSTs and 40-50 percent
humidity air are only marginally conducive for maintaining high
intensities.  The current convective structure and its environment
suggest that Lester may be evolving into an annular hurricane,
which tends to weaken only slowly over time.  The NHC intensity
forecast is closest to the HWRF and DSHP models, and is above that
from the previous advisory due to the higher initial intensity.

Lester is moving toward the west-southwest at about 11 kt.  A large
subtropical ridge to its north is providing the westward steering
and low shear environment.  The tightly packed model guidance
indicate that the system should turn slightly toward the west or
west-northwest during the next two days at about the same rate of
forward speed.  The NHC track forecast is based upon the TVCN
multi-model consensus technique and is very close to that from the
previous advisory.

No new information is available about Lester's initial wind radii,
so that is unchanged from the previous advisory.  The NHC wind radii
forecast is based upon the RVCN consensus technique and nearly
the same as that from the last advisory.

Lester (雷斯特)  的巔峰上到了Cat.4  120kts

加上今天的瑪德琳,也上到Cat.4

成為了東太平洋風王很難定勝負的角逐.

布拉斯的對流W成環 , 但眼溫最高. 對流以不如巔峰 喬杰特風眼清晰.但眼溫平凡 . 雷斯特反而偏向兩者均衡. 對流LG稍. 可是風眼清空卻特別出色.
瑪德琳看起來就是最沒特色的那個.
