02W(SURIGAE). WARNING 7 ISSUED AT 15/03UTC.ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH ROBUST  DUAL OUTFLOW, LOW TO MODERATE (10-20KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS),  AND VERY WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE (SST) IN THE  PHILIPPINE SEA. TS 02W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWEST  PERIPHERY OF AN EXTENSION OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE  NORTHEAST. 02W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK WEST-NORTHWESTWARD UNDER THE STR  AND WILL CONTINUE TO STEADILY INTENSIFY AS IT CONTINUES TO  CONSOLIDATE WITHIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, REACHING 95 KNOTS/CAT 2 BY 72H. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN INTENSIFICATION BETWEEN 36H AND  72H DUE TO THE CONSISTENT SHEAR AND PRESSURE ON THE EASTERN SIDE  OF TS 02W. AFTER 72H, A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH NORTH OF THE STR WILL BEGIN  TO DEEPEN, CAUSING A BREAK IN STR. ONCE THE STR BREAKS, TS SURIGAE  WILL  BEGIN TO TURN POLEWARD, TRACKING AROUND EASTERN PORTION OF THE  RIDGE. THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL CONTINUE AND BRING TS 02W TO A  PEAK OF 115KNOTS/CAT 4 AT 96H AND WEAKENING SLIGHTLY AFTERWARDS AS COOLER  SST PREVAIL.

02W(SURIGAE). NUMERICAL MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A  DECREASE IN THE CROSS-TRACK SPREAD TO 240KM AT 72H LENDING TO  HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE EARLY PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST  WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THE CURRENT MODEL CONSENSUS. NUMERICAL MODEL CROSS-TRACK SPREAD HAS DECREASED TO  465KM AT 120H OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS, LENDING FAIR CONFIDENCE IN  THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
