TS 04W. WARNING 18 ISSUED AT 03/03UTC.THE SYSTEM IS IN A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT WITH GOOD  WESTWARD AND EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND VERY WARM (30-31C) SEA SURFACE  TEMPERATURES, OFFSET BY MODERATE TO STRONG (20-25KT) VERTICAL WIND  SHEAR(VWS) FROM THE NORTHEAST. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE WESTERN  PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST.  TS 04W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE  NEXT 12 HOURS, MAKING THE TURN NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD THEN  NORTHEASTWARD AFTER 12H UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE STR.  THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO REMAIN AT 35KNOTS UNDER THE AFOREMENTIONED  MARGINAL CONDITIONS AS IT ROUNDS THE RIDGE AXIS. BY 36H, TS 04W  WILL WEAKEN TO 30 KNOTS DUE TO INCREASING VWS ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG  NORTHEASTERLY FLOW FROM A SECONDARY STR ANCHORED OVER SOUTHEASTERN  CHINA. THE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN AT 30 KNOTS AS IT PASSES NORTH OF KADENA  AIR BASE BEFORE 48H AND UP TO 72H AS IT CONTINUES  NORTHEASTWARD. AFTER 72H, TS CHOI-WAN WILL ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARD ON THE  POLEWARD SIDE OF THE STEERING STR. CONCURRENTLY BY 96H, IT WILL  BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) AS IT ENTERS THE BAROCLINIC  ZONE AND WILL COMPLETE ETT SOUTH OF YOKOSUKA, JAPAN, BY 120H.  THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THAT TS 04W WILL DISSIPATE BEFORE  ETT.
