01W(DUJUAN). WARNING 16 ISSUED AT 21/03UTC.ANALYSIS INDICATES WARM (29- 30C) ALONG-TRACK SST AND ROBUST WEST AND POLEWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT. A SLIGHT DECREASE IN VERTICAL WIND SHEAR HAS ENHANCED THE STRUCTURE OF CONVECTION NEAR THE LOW LEVEL CENTER DUE TO THE STORM MOTION MOVING MORE IN-PHASE WITH THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL WIND FLOW. THE WARM MOIST AIR AHEAD OF THE TD IS CONTINUALLY OVERRUNNING THE COLDER NORTHEASTERLY WIND IN THE PHILIPPINE SEA INCREASING THE INSTABILITY AND CONVECTION. THE CYCLONE CONTINUES TO TRACK NORTHWESTWARD AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) STEERS IT TOWARDS THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. TD 01W WILL CONTINUE TRACKING NORTHWESTWARD AS THE STEERING STR TO THE NORTHEAST BUILDS, THE SYSTEM WILL MAKE INITIAL LANDFALL OVER SAMAR, PHILIPPINES, JUST AFTER 24H AND THEN ENTER THE SIBUYAN SEA AND ENCOUNTER COOLER 26-27C SSTS. AFTER 24H, HIGH RELATIVE WIND SHEAR COMBINED WITH THE RUGGED TERRAIN OF THE MULTIPLE ISLANDS WILL ERODE THE TD TO DISSIPATION BY 48H, POSSIBLY SOONER.
01W(DUJUAN). NUMERICAL MODELS DIVERGE SIGNIFICANTLY TO 555KM+ BY 48H. THIS INDICATES UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODELS TRACKING A WEAK CIRCULATION, LENDING OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
01W(DUJUAN). INITIAL POSITION IS PLACED WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE BASED UPON THE MSI LOOP AND A 21/0114UTC ASCAT METOP-B IMAGE.
21S(GUMABE). WARNING 8 ISSUED AT 21/03UTC.ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW (10-15KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, GOOD POLEWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT, AND WARM (28-29C) SST. GUAMBE HAS ROUNDED THE RIDGE AXIS AND IS TRACKING ALONG THE WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST. TC 21S WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE IN INTENSITY AS IT ACCELERATES AND TRACKS SOUTHEASTWARD ON THE POLEWARD SIDE OF THE STR. INITIAL EXPOSURE TO THE STRONG MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES WILL SLIGHTLY IMPROVE POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND TEMPORARILY INTENSIFY THE SYSTEM TO A PEAK OF 70 KNOTS/CAT1 BY 24H. AFTERWARD, INCREASING WIND SHEAR AND COOLING SEAS WILL GRADUALLY ERODE THE SYSTEM DOWN TO 55KNOTS BY 48H. CONCURRENTLY, BY 36H, TC GUAMBE WILL BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION AS IT ENTERS THE BAROCLINIC ZONE, AND BECOME A STORM-FORCE COLD-CORE LOW BY TAU 48H.
21S(GUAMBE). NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN TIGHT AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
21S(GUMABE). 21/0215UTC. MICROWAVE REVEALS THE CORE OF THE CYCLONE IS NOT WELL ORGANIZED.
21S(GUMABE). 20/2210UTC. NOAA-20.
