WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC: TY 20W(MINDULLE). WARNING 37 ISSUED AT 01/15UTC
FORECAST REASONING. SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TYPHOON MINDULLE WILL CONTINUE ON ITS CURRENT TRACK FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AND THE UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM. CONCURRENTLY, BY 12H, IT WILL BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) AND BY 30H WILL TRANSFORM INTO A 40-KNOT COLD CORE LOW WITH AN EXPANSIVE WIND FIELD AS IT PASSES SOUTHEAST OF THE KURIL ISLANDS.

SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS THE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO GRADUALLY DECAY AS EVIDENCED BY UNRAVELING RAIN BANDS AND WARMING CENTRAL CONVECTION. THE NORTHERN PERIPHERIES HAVE ELONGATED WITH EXPOSURE TO THE STRONG PREVAILING WESTERLIES. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON A CLUSTER OF WARM CENTRAL PIXELS IN THE EIR LOOP THAT LINED UP WELL WITH A NOTCH FEATURE IN THE 1049Z AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 65KNOTS/CAT 1 IS AVERAGED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE FROM THE AGENCY AND AUTOMATED DVORAK ESTIMATES AND REFLECTS THE 6-HR DEGRADATION. ANALYSIS INDICATES THE ENVIRONMENT IS UNFAVORABLE WITH INCREASING VWS, COOLING SSTS, AND THE INFLUX OF COLD DRY AIR AT THE LOWER LEVELS. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR TO THE SOUTHEAST.
MODEL DISCUSSION: NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN VERY TIGHT AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE VARIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH ETT, THERE IS ONLY MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN THE INTENSITY FORECAST.
NORTH INDIAN OCEAN/ARABIAN SEA: TC 03B(GULAB). WARNING 15 ISSUED AT 01/15UTC
FORECAST REASONING. SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TC GULAB WILL CONTINUE ON ITS CURRENT TRACK TOWARD THE GULF OF OMAN UP TO 48H UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE(STR). AFTERWARD, AS THE STR BUILDS, IT WILL DRIVE THE CYCLONE SOUTHWESTWARD INTO OMAN, MAKING LANDFALL JUST NORTH OF MUSCAT AROUND 54H. THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL PROMOTE INTENSIFICATION TO A PEAK OF 65KNOTS/CAT 1 AT 24-36H. AFTERWARD, DRY AIR INTRUSION FROM THE MIDDLE EAST WILL BEGIN TO ERODE THE SYSTEM. AFTER LANDFALL, INTERACTION WITH THE DESERT LANDSCAPE OF OMAN WILL ACCELERATE ITS DEGRADATION LEADING TO DISSIPATION BY TAU 96.

SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A CONSOLIDATING SYSTEM WITH FEEDER BANDS, MOSTLY FROM THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY, WRAPPING TIGHTER INTO AN OBSCURED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC) UNDER DEEP CENTRAL CONVECTION WITH A FORMATIVE EYE. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE FORMATIVE EYE ADJUSTED FOR A SLIGHT POLEWARD TILT. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 60KNOTS IS ASSESSED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE AND HELD HIGHER THAN AGENCY DVORAK ESTIMATES AND MORE IN LINE WITH THE ADT ESTIMATE TO REFLECT THE NOTABLE 6-HR IMPROVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW VWS, WARM SSTS, AND A MEDIUM EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STR TO THE NORTH.
MODEL DISCUSSION: NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN LOOSE AGREEMENT WITH THE FORECAST TRACK UP TO 48H. AFTERWARD, THE MODELS DIVERGE TO 650+ KM AS THEY LOSE THE VORTEX IN THE DESERT LANDMASS, LENDING MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK AND INTENSITY FORECASTS UP TO 72H ONLY.
ATLANTIC: HU 18L(SAM). WARNING 36 ISSUED AT 01/15UTC
CURRENT INTENSITY IS 130KNOTS/CAT 4 "SUPER HURRICANE" AND HAS LIKELY PEAKED FOR THE 2ND TIME(FIRST PEAK WAS 135KNOTS).

HU 18L(SAM). NHC/MIAMI WROTE: "Sam remains a powerful category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale over the subtropical central Atlantic. Satellite images show that the hurricane still has a circular and quite distinct eye and closed eyewall. However, an 0827 UTC SSMIS pass indicated that a dry slot was present on the eastern side of the circulation between the eyewall and rainbands. The latest Dvorak classifications from TAFB, SAB, and CIMSS at the University of Wisconsin range from 102-115 kt. However, Air Force reconnaissance data from earlier this morning showed that the winds were much higher, and in fact, the Dvorak estimates have had a low bias compared to the Hurricane Hunter data for the past 24-36 hours. Therefore, the initial intensity is held at 130 kt for now. Another Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate Sam this afternoon. An ASCAT-A pass from around 12Z indicated that Sam's tropical-storm-force wind radii have expanded, and the initial wind radii were adjusted based on that data. In addition, the eye of Sam passed about 60 n mi east of NOAA buoy 41049 earlier this morning. The buoy reported a minimum pressure of 998 mb, maximum winds of around 45 kt, gusts to 62 kt, and maximum seas of about 22 ft."
