CLICK ON THE IMAGERY BELOW TO GET IT ANIMATED AND ENLARGED

SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY OVER THE LAST SIX HOURS AS  EVIDENCED BY A MORE COMPACT COLD CENTRAL COVER THAT HAS DEVELOPED A  SECONDARY EYEWALL AROUND ITS 10-NM PINHOLE EYE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE PINHOLE EYE THAT LINED UP PERFECTLY WITH THE DEFINED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION IN THE COMPOSITE RADAR LOOP FROM THE ABOM LEARMONTH RADAR SITE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 110KTS IS ALSO ASSESSED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE  HIGH END OF AGENCY DVORAK AND AUTOMATED INTENSITY ESTIMATES TO REFLECT  THE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THE 6-HR EIR CONVECTIVE SIGNATURE.  ANALYSIS INDICATES A HIGHLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH STRONG RADIAL  OUTFLOW AND LOW VWS SLIGHTLY OFFSET BY COOLING SST.

FORECAST REASONING.  SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING.  FORECAST DISCUSSION: TC SEAN WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD THEN SOUTHWARD AROUND THE NORTHWESTERN THEN WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING STR. THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL AT BEST MAINTAIN THE CURRENT INTENSITY UP TO TAU 12. AFTERWARD, A GRADUAL EROSION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR WITH AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE EXPECTED TO COMMENCE. THIS, PLUS THE CONTINUED COOLING SST, INCREASING VWS AND, EVENTUALLY, DRY AIR INTRUSION WILL LEAD TO DISSIPATION BY TAU 96.

MODEL DISCUSSION: AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN TIGHT AGREEMENT WITH THE MAIN PACK AT AN EVEN AND GRADUAL SPREAD TO A MERE 90NM BY TAU 72, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THIS PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. AFTERWARD, THE MODELS SPREAD OUT WIDER AND MORE UNEVENLY TO OVER 500NM WITH UEMN THE EXTREME RIGHT-OF-TRACK OUTLIER, LENDING ONLY MEDIUM CONFIDENCE TO THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE TRACK FORECAST THAT IS LAID TO THE LEFT OF CONSENSUS TO OFFSET UEMN. THERE IS ONLY MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN THE INTENSITY FORECAST DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID RAPID WEAKENING THAT USUALLY FOLLOWS AFTER RAPID INTENSIFICATION.
