INVEST 99S. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT 99S WILL REMAIN LARGELY QUASISTATIONARY WITH SLIGHTLY NORTHEASTWARD MOVEMENT BEFORE TURNING 180 DEGREES TO THE SOUTHWEST IN AROUND 18 TO 24 HOURS. IN THAT TIME, 99S WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY; HOWEVER, MODELS DISAGREE ON TIMING WITH THE MAJORITY PREDICTING 99S REACHING WARNING THRESHOLD IN APPROXIMATELY 36 HOURS, WHILE ECMWF, THE ONLY OUTLIER, PREDICTS A QUICKER INTENSIFICATION, REACHING WARNING THRESHOLD IN 12 TO 24 HOURS.
INVEST 99S. A 031150Z METOP-A ASCAT PASS REVEALS A TIGHT LLCC WITH A SMALL, BUT ENHANCED, WIND FIELD OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS WITH A COUPLE 35 KNOT WIND BARBS TO THE NORTH.
INVEST 90S. 90S IS CURRENTLY IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH WARM (30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW BEING SLIGHTLY OFFSET BY MODERATE (15 TO 20 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT 90S WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY SOUTHEASTWARD, REMAINING ELONGATED WHILE INTENSIFYING, POTENTIALLY REACHING WARNING THRESHOLD IN 2 TO 4 DAYS.
