TC 26S. WARNING 1 ISSUED AT 04/15UTC. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM RESIDES EQUATORWARD OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) WITH GOOD RADIAL OUTFLOW ALOFT, ENVELOPED IN A SMALL REGION OF LOW TO MODERATE (10-15 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (28-30C). TC 26S CURRENTLY RESIDES IN A VERY WEAK STEERING ENVIRONMENT AND WILL BEGIN MOVING SOUTHWESTWARD AS A RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES SOUTHWEST, AN INCREASE IN POLEWARD OUTFLOW WILL ENHANCE THE INTENSIFICATION TO A PEAK STRENGTH OF 85 KNOTS/US CATEGORY 2 BY 72H. DURING THIS TIMEFRAME, BINARY INTERACTION WITH INVEST 90S IS LIKELY, THE TWO SYSTEMS REMAINING NEARLY 925KM APART BY SOME MODEL ESTIMATES. THIS INTERACTION WILL CREATE A DYNAMIC CHANGE TO TC 26S INTENSIFICATION AND TRACK MOTION, ADDING INHERENT UNCERTAINTY.
TC 26S. NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT DURING THE NEAR TERM WITH ALONG AND CROSS TRACK ERROR OF 95KNM OUT TO 24H. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED INTERACTION WITH INVEST 90S, THE SPREAD CONTINUES TO DIVERGE TO 1170NM BY 120H. THE SPREAD IN MODEL TRACK GUIDANCE LENDS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL JTWC TRACK FORECAST, CURRENTLY LAID SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF CONSENSUS, FAVORING THE ECMWF AND NAVGEM MODELING GUIDANCE OVER THE LEFT OUTLIERS OF GFS AND AFUM.
TC 26S. 04/1430UTC. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A BROAD SYSTEM CONSOLIDATING WITH FORMATIVE BANDS WRAPPING TIGHTER INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER OVER THE SAVU SEA.
TC 26S. 04/1041UTC. MICROWACE DEPITS A BROAD SYSTEM CONSOLIDATING WITH FORMATIVE BANDS WRAPPING TIGHTER INTO THE CENTER.
INVEST 90S. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT ISSUED AT 04/08UTC. HIGH CHANCES OF HAVING SUSTAINED WINDS REACHING 35KNOTS CLOSE TO THE CENTER WITHIN 24HOURS.
INVEST 90S. 90S IS CURRENTLY IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH WARM (30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND LOW (5 TO 10 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW; HOWEVER, THE HIGH TRACK SPEEDS MAY BE SLIGHTLY OFFSETTING THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT 90S WILL REMAIN ELONGATED AND ASYMMETRIC AS IT TRACKS SOUTHEAST AND INTENSIFIES, REACHING WARNING THRESHOLD WITHIN 36 HOURS.
INVEST 90S. 04/1425UTC. ASCAT-B READ 35KNOT WINDS IN THE SOUTHERN QUADRANT.
04/15UTC. INVEST 99S IS NOW TC 26S WITH 35KNOT WINDS. INVEST 90S WAS UP-GRADED TO HIGH AT 04/08UTC. JTWC IS ISSUING 6 HOURLY WARNINGS ON 26S AND 3HOURLY SATELLITE BULLETINS ON BOTH SYSTEMS.
