23P(NIRAN). WARNING 11 ISSUED AT 03/15UTC.THE ENVIRONMENT IS OVERALL FAVORABLE WITH LOW (10-15KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, VERY WARM (29-30C) SSTS PARTLY OFFSET BY LIMITED OUTFLOW ALOFT. TC 23P IS QUASI-STATIONARY IN A COL BETWEEN THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER), EXTENDING FROM THE NORTH TO SOUTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM, AND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE WEST OVER AUSTRALIA. THE NER IS EXPECTED TO BUILD AND BECOME THE DOMINANT STEERING MECHANISM AND SLOWLY NUDGE THE SYSTEM OUT OF THE COL, AND BY 12H, DRIVE IT SOUTHEASTWARD, PASSING JUST SOUTH OF NEW CALEDONIA AROUND 60H, AND BY 96H, SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 815KM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND. THE MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL IMPROVE AS THE CYCLONE TRACKS POLEWARD INTO IMPROVED UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW AND HELP FUEL A STEADY INTENSIFICATION TO A PEAK OF 105KNOTS/US CATEGORY 3 BY 36H. AFTERWARD, INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND COOLING SEAS WILL GRADUALLY ERODE THE CYCLONE DOWN TO 70KNOTS/CATEGORY 1 BY 96H. CONCURRENTLY, BY 72H, IT WILL BEGIN SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION AS IT APPROACHES THE COLD BAROCLINIC ZONE, AND BY 96H, WILL TRANSFORM INTO A SUBTROPICAL SYSTEM.
23P(NIRAN).NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK FORECAST BUT WITH SIGNIFICANT VARIATIONS IN ALONG TRACK SPEED IN THE NEAR- TERM AS THE TC EXITS FROM THE COL. ALSO, ACROSS TRACK SPREADS TO OVER 1330KM BY 96H, LENDING LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST THAT IS LAID CLOSE TO THE MODEL CONSENSUS.
23P(NIRAN). 03/1430UTC.ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED OVERALL CONVECTIVE SIGNATURE WITH THE MAIN FEEDER BAND WRAPPING IN FROM THE NORTH INTO AN OBSCURED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION THAT IS UNDER COLD OVERSHOOTING CLOUD TOPS.
22S(MARIAN). WARNING 12 ISSUED AT 03/15UTC.THE SYSTEM IS IN A DETERIORATING ENVIRONMENT WITH INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (15KTS+) AND COOLING SSTS (25C). TC 22S HAS MOVED OUT OF THE COL BETWEEN THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER)TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AND A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTH WHICH HAS WEAKENED AND ALLOWED A SECONDARY STR TO BUILD IN FROM THE EAST AND ASSUME STEERING. THIS NEW STR WILL DRIVE THE CYCLONE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD FOR THE WHOLE DURATION OF THE FORECAST. THE HARSH ENVIRONMENT WILL CONTINUE THE GRADUAL WEAKENING AND EVENTUALLY THE INTENSITY FALLING BELOW 35KNOTS BY 96H, POSSIBLY SOONER.
22S(MARIAN). NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
22S(MARIAN). 03/1430UTC.ANIMATED 12-HR ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS GREATLY WEAKENED AS EVIDENCED BY WARMING CLOUD TOPS IN THE CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST AND UNRAVELING RAIN BANDS..
INVEST 90S. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 031428Z SSMIS 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICT FRAGMENTED FORMATIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO AN ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH FLARING CONVECTION IN THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE. INVEST 90S IS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT, LOW (
