TS 20W. WARNING 4 ISSUED AT 23/09UTC
SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: FORECAST TRACK HAS SHIFTED LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH AN INCREASED TRACK SPEED. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TS 20W WILL CONTINUE NORTHWEST THROUGH AN INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OF WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (30-31 DEGREE CELSIUS), LOW SHEAR AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW. THE HIGHLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL FUEL SUSTAINED INTENSIFICATION TO 125 KNOTS/CAT 4 BY 96H. AFTERWARDS, TS 20W WILL BE SLIGHTLY HAMPERED BY INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. AROUND 120H, TS 20W WILL REACH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS BEFORE BEGINNING A GRADUAL RECURVE SOUTHWEST OF JAPAN.

SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE 230348Z AMSR2 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS THE DEEPEST CONVECTION HAS REMAINED REMOVED FROM THE LLCC. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED MSI AND MICROWAVE IMAGE. THE INTENSITY IS SUPPORTED BY AUTOMATED AND AGENCY DVORAK FIXES. THE ENVIRONMENT IS HIGHLY FAVORABLE WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AN UPPER LEVEL POINT SOURCE NEARLY OVERHEAD, AND VERY WARM SSTS.
MODEL DISCUSSION: NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENT WITH GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLE SHOWING A NEAR POLEWARD TRACK, WHEREAS THE REMAINING MODELS SHOW A MORE GRADUAL RECURVE WITH A SUSTAINED NORTHWESTERLY TRACK THROUGH 96H. UKMET AND THE UKMET ENSEMBLE TRACKS ARE FURTHER DELAYED IN THEIR RECURVE TIMING WITH SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS TO THE SOUTH OF KADENA. THE JTWC TRACK IS LAID ALONG THE BULK OF THE GUIDANCE WITH A SUSTAINED NORTHWESTERLY TRACK. JTWC INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS IN OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH RAPID INTENSIFICATION EXPECTED BETWEEN 12H AND 36H.
TS 21W(DIANMU). WARNING 4 ISSUED AT 23/09UTC
SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANGES: THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM THE PREVIOUS WARNING. FORECAST DISCUSSION: TD 21W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON ITS CURRENT TRACK AND MAKE LANDFALL SOUTH OF DANANG BEFORE 12H AND TRANSITION ACROSS THE RUGGED TERRAIN OF VIETNAM AND INTO CAMBODIA. THE MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN INTENSITY WHILE OVER WATER BEFORE BEGINNING DISSIPATION DUE TO LAND INTERACTION. LAND INTERACTION WILL ERODE THE SYSTEM TO DISSIPATION BY 36H.

SATELLITE ANALYSIS, INITIAL POSITION AND INTENSITY DISCUSSION: ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION SYSTEM WITH DEEP CONVECTION OFFSET NORTHWESTWARD OF THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THE INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED ON A 230510Z GMI 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE AND RADAR COVERAGE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS PLACED WITH MEDIUM CONFIDENCE BASED ON THE OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF AGENCY AND AUTOMATED DVORAK ESTIMATES. THE SYSTEM IS IN A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT BEFORE LANDFALL WITH WARM SSTS OFFSET BY WEAK OUTFLOW AND MEDIUM VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (15-20 KNOTS). THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST.
MODEL DISCUSSION: NUMERICAL TRACK MODELS ARE IN HIGH AGREEMENT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. INTENSITY GUIDANCE IS IN MEDIUM AGREEMENT DUE TO COMPETING ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS.
