INVEST 94S IS NOW TD 02W. WARNING 1 ISSUED AT 13/15UTC.ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT INCLUDING ROBUST RADIAL OUTFLOW WITH A STRONG POLEWARD BIAS, LOW (05- 10KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND VERY WARM (30-31C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN THE PHILIPPINE SEA. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF A LOW REFLECTION OF THE NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST. TD 02W WILL TRACK SLOWLY NORTHWARD OR MAY EVEN BECOME QUASI- STATIONARY OVER THE NEXT 24HRS AS A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTHWEST BUILDS AND COMPETES FOR STEERING. AFTERWARD, A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH DIGGING IN FROM CHINA WILL BREAK THE RIDGE. THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE STR TO THE NORTHEAST WILL ASSUME STEERING AND DRIVE TD 02W NORTHWESTWARD. THE AFOREMENTIONED FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL PROMOTE STEADY INTENSIFICATION TO 70KTS/US CAT 1 BY 72H. AFTER 72H, TD 02W WILL CONTINUE NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD THE BREAK IN THE RIDGE UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SAME STR. A RAPID INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED AS THE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS ARE FURTHER ENHANCED BY INCREASED POLEWARD OUTFLOW. BY 120H, TD 02W WILL SURGE TO 115KNOTS/US CAT 4, POSSIBLY HIGHER.
TD 02W. GUIDANCE: ECMWF ENSEMBLE. NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A GRADUAL SPREAD TO 290KM BY 72H WITH ECMWF ON THE LEFT- AND AVNO ON THE RIGHT-MARGIN OF THE ENVELOPE. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE INITIAL STORM MOTION SECONDARY TO THE COMPETING STEERING MECHANISMS, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.NUMERICAL MODELS SPREAD OUT EVEN MORE TO OVER 890KM BY 120H, LENDING LOW CONFIDENCE TO THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.//
TD 02W. GUIDANCE: GFS ENSEMBLE.
