22S(MARIAN). WARNING 9 ISSUED AT 02/03UTC.TC 22S HAS SLOWED SIGNIFICANTLY AND IS BEGINNING TO ROUND THE NEAR-EQUATORIAL RIDGE (NER) TO THE NORTHEAST AS A TRANSIENT SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST LIMITS THE POLEWARD MOVEMENT. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) REMAINS LOW (5-10 KTS), WITH WEAKER UPPER LEVEL RADIAL OUTFLOW LIMITING THE POLEWARD MOVEMENT. THE UPWELLING OF COOLER WATERS, AND THE DECREASE IN OUTFLOW ARE THE LIMITING FACTORS FOR ANY FURTHER INTENSIFICATION WITH TC MARIAN. OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS, THE STR TO THE SOUTH WILL TRANSIT EASTWARD AND WEAKEN AS A MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST, LEADING TO A TRANSITION OF THE PRIMARY STEERING MECHANISM TO THE NER TO THE NORTHEAST. TC 22S WILL ACCELERATE SOUTHEASTWARD WITHIN THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE NER AND THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH AFTER 12H. AS THE SYSTEM TRANSLATES SOUTHEASTWARD IT WILL MOVE OVER STEADILY COOLER SEAS AND ENCOUNTER CONVERGENT FLOW ALOFT, LEADING TO STEADY WEAKENING THROUGH 96H AND BEYOND. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TRANSITIONING TO A SUBTROPICAL LOW AFTER 96H AS IT BEGINS TO MOVE UNDER A MID-LEVEL LOW AND EXHIBITS WEAK THERMAL ADVECTION.
22S(MARIAN). NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A 125KM SPREAD AT 72H AND ONLY INCREASES TO 220KM AT 120H, LENDING HIGH CONFIDENCE TO THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK.
22S(MARIAN). 01/2357UTC. SMAP READ 76KNOT WINDS( 10 MINUTES). NEAR PERFECT AGREEMENT WITH THE 1MINUTE INTENSITY ESTIMATE FROM JTWC( 90KNOTS).
22S(MARIAN). 02/00UTC. CIMSS Vertical Shear Magnitude : 3.7 m/s ( 7.3 kts) Direction : 114.6 deg Experimental Vertical Shear and TC Intensity Trend Estimates: UNFAVOURABLE OVER 24H
22S(MARIAN). 02/00UTC. SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASING OCEAN HEAT CONTENT ALONG THE FORECAST TRACK.
02/03UTC. JTWC IS ISSUING 3HOURLY WARNING ON TC 23P(NIRAN) AND 12HOURLY WARNINGS ON TC 22S(MARIAN). 3 HOURLY SATELLITE BULLETINS ARE ISSUED FOR BOTH SYSTEMS.
