24S(HABANA). WARNING 15 ISSUED AT 11/09UTC. ANALYSIS INDICATES LOW (10-15KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ALOFT AND WARM (28-29C) SEA SURFACE  TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER, TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER ANIMATION ALSO  INDICATES COLD DRY AIR HAS BEGUN TO INTRUDE TOWARD THE CENTER AND  THE RADIAL UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW HAS BEGUN TO DIMINISH, AS EVIDENCED  IN A WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY LOOP. THESE TWO DYNAMICS WILL  MAINLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SLOW WEAKENING IN THE NEAR- TO MID- TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST. TC 24S WILL TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD  THEN SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL  RIDGE (STR) TO THE SOUTH. AFTER 36H, AS THE STR RECEDES EASTWARD  AND REORIENTS, THE CYCLONE WILL TRACK MORE SOUTHWARD THEN  SOUTHEASTWARD. THE GRADUAL WEAKENING CAUSED BY COOL DRY AIR  INTRUSION AND MINIMIZED UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW WILL BECOME MORE RAPID  AFTER 48H AS THE SYSTEM SLOWS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, CAUSING  LOCALIZED UPWELLING RESULTING IN COOLER SSTS. BY 120H, TC HABANA  WILL BE REDUCED TO 55KTS.

24S(HABANA). NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT UP  TO 36H. AFTERWARD, THE SOLUTIONS SIGNIFICANTLY DIVERGE AS A  SECONDARY SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTHWEST APPROACHES AND COMPETES FOR STEERING,  RESULTING IN A QUASI-STATIONARY STORM MOTION. THEREFORE, THERE IS  HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST UP TO 48H; AFTERWARD,  LOW CONFIDENCE.
