08/14UTC.CONVECTION WEAKENED DRAMATICALLY SINCE THE PREVIOUS WARNING. CONVECTION HAS BEEN FLARING UP AGAIN VERY RECENTLY.
THERE IS MINIMAL OUTFLOW ALOFT, EVIDENCED BY ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING NO DISTINCT OUTFLOW CHANNELS. THIS LACK OF OUTFLOW HAS HINDERED SUSTAINED CORE CONVECTION AND LED TO THE RECENT WEAKENING TREND
SHEAR TENDENCY IS FAVOURABLE ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK. THE UW-CIMSS Experimental Vertical Shear and TC Intensity Trend Estimates IS FAVOURABLE ONCE AGAIN AFTER HAVING BEEN NEUTRAL SINCE 08/00UTC.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME INTO SLIGHTLY BETTER AGREEMENT SINCE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH 340KM SPREAD AT 72H, INCREASING TO 585KM AT 120H. HOWEVER, THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE AS A WHOLE HAS SLIGHTLY SHIFTED TO THE SOUTH IN RESPONSE TO A CHANGE IN THE STORM MOTION OF THE PREVIOUS 12-HOURS.THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND FAVORS THE ECMWF MODEL SOLUTION WITH MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
