Officially 155 kts, 902 mb now, though originally the pressure was at 922 mb before an override occurred about half an hour ago

would honestly go 165 kts now, everything about this storm is borderline perfect and rivals Sinlaku from earlier this year.

very good estimate. Glad to see they are not severely underestimating it like they were earlier.

Another invest in the epac, another major forecasted by GDM
Gonna be interesting to see if Champi can help West PAC surpass East PAC as far as ACE total.

It has. The EPAC is at 343 ACE and the WPAC has now hit 349.
