19S(FARAJI) WARNING 4 ISSUED AT 06/21UTC.THE SYSTEM IS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH WARM (29-30C) SEAS, ROBUST DUAL OUTFLOW ALOFT, AND LOW (5-10KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). TC 19S IS SLOWLY COMING OUT OF A QUASI-STATIONARY (QS) STATE AS THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH STEERS IT SLOWLY EASTWARD. AFTER 48H, A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST WILL BUILD, ASSUME STEERING AND GRADUALLY DRIVE THE CYCLONE SOUTHWARD. CONTINUED FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL FUEL STEADY INTENSIFICATION TO A PEAK OF 110KNOTS/US CATEGORY 3 BY 48H. AFTERWARD, A GRADUAL WEAKENING WILL COMMENCE AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS POLEWARD AND WIND SHEAR BECOMES MODERATE (15-25 KTS), AND BY 120H, WILL BE REDUCED TO 70KNOTS.
19S(FARAJI). NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NOTABLE EXCEPTION OF NAVGEM THAT IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE MODEL ENVELOPE. HOWEVER, THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE STORM MOTIONS IN THE POST-QUASI STATONARY PHASE AND DURING THE STEERING TRANSITION, LEND AN OVERALL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK.
19S(FARAJI). 06/1946UTC. MICROWAVE DEPICTS A VERY COMPACT SYSTEM WITH A WELL DEVELOPED EYE FEATURE.
19S(FARAJI). 06/21UTC. SATELLITE SIGNATURE HAS BEEN RAPIDLY IMPROVING OVER THE PAST 3HOURS. DVORAK ANALYSIS SUGGESTS RAPID INTENSIFICATION LIKELY FASTER THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST.
19S(FARAJI). 06/1639UTC ASCAT-C.
