TS 04W. WARNING4 ISSUED AT 30/15UTC.TS 04W REMAINS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH FAIR WESTWARD AND  EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW, LOW (5-10KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) ALOFT,  AND VERY WARM (30-31C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SST) IN THE  PHILIPPINE SEA. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWEST  PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST.  TS 04W WILL TRACK MORE NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS  UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE STR. THE SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY  INTENSIFY UNDER THE AFOREMENTIONED FAVORABLE CONDITIONS AND BY 72H, WHICH WILL REACH 60KNOTS.  AFTER 72H, TD 04W WILL CONTINUE ON ITS NORTHWESTWARD TRACK  UNDER THE SAME STR; HOWEVER, BY 96H, THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO  ROUND THE RIDGE AXIS THEN ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARD. THE FAVORABLE  CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST AND INTENSIFY THE CYCLONE SLIGHTLY, TO A  PEAK INTENSITY OF 65KNOTS/ US CAT 1 BY 96H. AFTERWARD, AS IT BECOMES EXPOSED  TO INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREVAILING  WESTERLIES UNDER THE POLAR FRONT JET, TD 04W WILL RAPIDLY DECAY DUE  TO INCREASING VWS TO 45KNOTS BY 120H.

TS 04W. THE FORECAST TRACK IS LAID SLIGHTLY TO  THE RIGHT AND AHEAD OF MODEL CONSENSUS DURING THE FIRST 72 HOURS TO  OFFSET NAVGEM, GFS, AND AFUM TRACKERS, WHICH ARE TO THE LEFT OF THE  MODEL ENVELOPE. AFTER 72H, THE FORECAST TRACK IS SLIGHTLY LEFT OF  FORECAST CONSENSUS, OFFSETTING THE MORE EXTREME RIGHT OUTLIERS OF  JGSM AND ECMWF.NUMERICAL MODELS ALONG TRACK / CROSS TRACK ERRORS CONTINUALLY INCREASE FROM 510KM AT 36H  AND INCREASE TO A SPREAD GREATER THAN 1055KM BY 96H AS THE SYSTEM  REACHES THE POLAR FRONT JET AND ROUNDS THE STR AXIS, LENDING LOW  CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
