WARNING 7. THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK EQUATORWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH STEADY WEAKENING AND DISSIPATION ANTICIPATED BY 24H. DUE TO THE COMPLEX, EVOLVING STEERING INFLUENCES AND POOR MODEL AGREEMENT, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE (HIGH UNCERTAINTY) IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK.

18/1214UTC. ASCAT- BULLSEYE IMAGE REVEALS A DEFINED CIRCULATION, WHICH SUPPORTS THE INITIAL POSITION WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE, WITH 20-25 KNOT WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE AND 35-40 KNOT GRADIENT WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE. THIS IMAGE SUPPORTS THE INITIAL INTENSITY ASSESSMENT OF 35 KNOTS AND ALSO SUPPORTS THE ABRUPT EQUATORWARD TRACK CHANGE OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.
MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN VERY POOR AGREEMENT (SO CALLED SQUASHED SPIDER) BUT REFLECTS A GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE SYSTEM WILL TRACK EQUATORWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH STEADY WEAKENING AND WITH DISSIPATION ANTICIPATED BY 24H.
