19S(FARAJI). WARNING 6.THE SYSTEM IS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH WARM (29-30C) SEAS, GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW ALOFT, AND LOW (5-10KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). TC 19S IS SLOWLY COMING OUT OF A QUASI-STATIONARY (QS) STATE AS THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH STEERS IT SLOWLY NORTHEASTWARD. AROUND 72H, A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST WILL BUILD, ASSUME STEERING AND GRADUALLY DRIVE THE CYCLONE SOUTHWESTWARD THEN WESTWARD. AS TC 19S PROGRESSES EASTWARD, THE REDUCED OCEAN HEAT CONTENT CAUSED BY UPWELLING DUE TO ITS PROLONGED QS STATE, PLUS THE INFLUX OF COLD DRY AIR, WILL OFFSET THE OTHERWISE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, RESULTING IN A NET WEAKENING AND, BY 72H, WILL BE DOWN TO 90KNOTS/US CATEGORY 2. AFTERWARD, AS THE CYCLONE MAKES A WIDE U-TURN WESTWARD, INCREASING VWS (20KT+), PLUS THE SUBSIDING IMPACT OF AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH, WILL RAPIDLY ERODE TC FARAJI DOWN TO 45KNOTS BY 120H.
19S(FARAJI). NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NOTABLE EXCEPTION OF NAVGEM THAT IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE MODEL ENVELOPE. HOWEVER, THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE STORM MOTIONS IN THE POST-QUASI STATIONARY PHASE AND DURING THE STEERING TRANSITION AROUND 72H, RESULT IN AN OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK LAID JUST TO THE RIGHT OF CONSENSUS TO OFFSET NAVGEM.
19S(FARAJI). 07/201UTC. MICROWAVE STILL DEPICTING A COMPACT AND INTENSE SYSTEM WITH A WELL DEFINED EYE FEATURE.
INVEST 92P.NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT 92P WILL CONSOLIDATE AS IT TRACKS POLEWARD WITHIN THE SOUTH PACIFIC CONVERGENCE ZONE.
