WARNING 4 ISSUED AT 19/09UTC.ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION WITH LOW (5-10 KTS) WIND SHEAR, WARM (28-29C) SEAS AND ROBUST EQUATORWARD AND QUICKLY IMPROVING POLEWARD OUTFLOW WHICH IS BEGINNING TO TAP INTO MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES TO THE SOUTH. TC 21S IS TRACKING SOUTWESTWARD ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYER SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CENTERED TO THE SOUTHEAST. OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS TC 21S WILL CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTHWEST BEFORE ROUNDING THE RIDGE AXIS NEAR 24H AND ACCELERATING SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING TO A PEAK OF 95 KNOTS/CATEGORY 2 BY 36H UNDER FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. TC 21S WILL START EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) SHORTLY AFTER 48H AS IT BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO COMPLETE TRANSITION TO A HURRICANE FORCE EXTRA-TROPICAL LOW BY 72H AS IT RAPIDLY TRANSLATES SOUTHEASTWARD, BECOMES EMBEDDED IN THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND TAKES ON FRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS.
21S(GUAMBE). NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH 48H, WITH INCREASING ALONG-TRACK UNCERTAINTY THEREAFTER. THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK LIES CLOSE TO ECMWF AND NAVGEM SOLUTIONS WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE.
