WHILE TC 23P MAINTAINS ITS FAVORABLE ENIVONRMENT, IT IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY UP TO 125 KNOTS/US CATEGORY 4 BY 12H BEFORE FALLING STEEPLY TO 75 KNOTS/US CATEGORY 1 AT 36H AS TC 23P ENCOUNTERS HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (25-30 KNOTS) AND DECREASED UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT ALONG ITS TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD. TC 23P IS FORECAST TO BEGIN SUBTROPICAL TRANSITION BY 36H AND COMPLETE TRANSITION TO A STORM FORCE SUBTROPICAL LOW BY 72H.
