TS 18W(CONSON). WARNING 9 ISSUED AT 08/03UTC.THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TS 18W IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY TO 50 KNOTS AS IT TRACKS NORTHWESTWARD OVER SOUTHERN LUZON. AFTER 24H, THE SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AS IT TRACKS WESTWARD TO WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD HAINAN ISLAND. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY THAT WEAK INTERACTION AND POSSIBLY MINOR TRACK CHANGES MAY OCCUR AFTER 48H AS TS 18W CLOSES WITHIN ABOUT 900KM OF TY 19W AT 60H.

TS 18W(CONSON). SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: TS 18W HAS MAINTAINED INTENSITY WITH NO SIGNIFICANT DEGRADATION OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. IN FACT, A 072216Z SSMIS 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE INDICATES A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN CONVECTIVE STRUCTURE WITH A COMPACT CORE SURROUNDING A DEFINED MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE, WHICH SUPPORTS THE INITIAL POSITION WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE. HOWEVER, OVER THE PAST TWO HOURS ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS WEAKENING DEEP CONVECTION AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS OVER SOUTHERN LUZON. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 55 KNOTS IS ASSESSED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON AN AVERAGE OF RJTD, RCTP AND KNES DVORAK ESTIMATES, CONSISTENT WITH THE MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES FAVORABLE OUTFLOW CONDITIONS WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR.
TS 18W(CONSON). MODEL DISCUSSION: WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NAVGEM, WHICH IS INDICATING BINARY INTERACTION WITH TY 19W AND TRACKING QUICKLY POLEWARD AND MERGING, NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH 72H. THEREFORE, THERE IS MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK THROUGH 72H. AFTER 72H, THE NUMERICAL MODELS DIVERGE WITH A LARGE SPREAD (490KM AT 120H) IN SOLUTIONS RANGING FROM A WESTWARD TRACK TOWARD DA NANG TO A NORTHWESTWARD TRACK OVER HAINAN ISLAND LENDING MEDIUM CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THERE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY IN THE JTWC INTENSITY FORECAST IN THE EARLY PERIOD DUE TO LAND INTERACTION, AND IN THE LATER PERIOD DUE TO INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. AS A SIDE NOTE, THE 061200Z BEST TRACK POSITION WAS REANALYZED TO TYPHOON STRENGTH (65 KNOTS) BASED ON SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM GUIUAN, PHILIPPINES. THE 061300Z REPORT INDICATED WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AT 62 KNOTS AT AN ELEVATION OF 60M.
TY 19W(CHANTHU). WARNING 8 ISSUED AT 08/03UTC.SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TY 19W IS FORECAST TO TRACK GENERALLY WESTWARD TO WEST-NORTHWESTWARD THROUGH 48H UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE(STR) ENTRENCHED TO THE NORTH. TY 19W WILL INTENSIFY TO SUPERTYPHOON (STY) STRENGTH (PEAK 135 KNOTS/CAT 4) BY 12H AND WILL MAINTAIN STY INTENSITY THROUGH AT LEAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE WHICH COULD PRODUCE SOMEWHAT ERRATIC INTENSITIES THROUGH 72H. AFTER 72H, THE SYSTEM SHOULD TURN NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF THE STR WHILE WEAKENING STEADILY DUE TO LAND INTERACTION. UPPER-LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ZONAL OVER THE EAST CHINA SEA WITH NO DEEP MIDLATITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE THUS RECURVATURE IS ASSESSED AS UNLIKELY.

TY 19W(CHANTHU). SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A COMPACT, SYMMETRIC CORE OF INTENSE CONVECTION SURROUNDING A 9-KM PINHOLE EYE. OBJECTIVE ADT ESTIMATES ARE NOT HANDLING THE INTENSITY WELL DUE TO THE PINHOLE EYE AND ARE VASTLY UNDERESTIMATING THE INITIAL INTENSITY. EIR ALSO INDICATES TROCHOIDAL MOTION (WOBBLE) AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS GENERALLY WESTWARD UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE POSITIONED TO THE NORTH. UPPER-LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE VERY FAVORABLE WITH RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. ADDITIONALLY, SST VALUES ARE CONDUCIVE AND OCEAN HEAT CONTENT VALUES ARE VERY HIGH SUPPORTING THE RECENT EXTREME RAPID INTENSIFICATION EVENT. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE PINHOLE EYE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 120 KTS/CAT 4 IS ASSESSED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE PGTW, RCTP AND KNES DVORAK ESTIMATES.
TY 19W(CHANTHU).MODEL DISCUSSION: THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST THROUGH 72H WITH A 150KM TO 240KM SPREAD IN SOLUTIONS FROM 48H TO 60H. JGSM IS THE LONE OUTLIER WITH A MORE POLEWARD, UNREALISTIC TRACK OVER NORTHERN TAIWAN INTO THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. AFTER 72H, THERE IS INCREASING UNCERTAINTY AND MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK, HOWEVER, THE BULK OF THE DETERMINISTIC AND ECMWF ENSEMBLE SOLUTIONS INDICATE A HIGH PROBABILITY TRACK OVER OR SOUTH OF TAIWAN. INTENSITY GUIDANCE, IN GENERAL, HAS STRUGGLED WITH THIS SYSTEM AND CONTINUES TO INDICATE A LARGE SPREAD IN INTENSITY GUIDANCE. THE JTWC INTENSITY FORECAST IS PLACED HIGHER THAN THE INTENSITY CONSENSUS (ICNW). THE LIKELIHOOD OF BINARY INTERACTION WITH TS 18W REMAINS LOW AS THE TWO SYSTEMS CLOSE WITHIN 900KM AT 60H, WHICH IS BORDERLINE AND UNLIKELY DUE TO THE COMPACT NATURE OF EACH SYSTEM.
