02W(SURIGAE). WARNING 11 ISSUED AT 16/03UTC. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR FURTHER INTENSIFICATION WITH LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SST) IN THE PHILIPPINE SEA. TY 02W IS CURRENTLY TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF AN EXTENSION OF THE DEEP LAYER SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTH.TY 02W IS FORECAST TO TRACK NORTHWESTWARD AS A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH TO THE NORTHWEST DEEPENS AND BREAKS THE EXTENSION OF THE STR AROUND 48H, CAUSING TY 02W TO TURN NORTHWARD. THE SYSTEM WILL STEADILY INTENSIFY DUE TO ROBUST UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW CAUSED BY THE MIDLATITUDE TROUGH WITH TY 02W REACHING 115KNOTS/CAT 4 BY 48H. AFTER 72H, THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE BREAK IN THE STR TAKES OVER AS THE PRIMARY STEERING MECHANISM, CAUSING TY SURIGAE TO TRACK NORTHWARD THEN NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE. THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL BECOME SLIGHTLY LESS FAVORABLE AS THE AMOUNT OF UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE DECREASES AND SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES LOWER THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE SYSTEM WILL DECREASE DOWN TO 100KNOTS/CAT 3 120H.
02W(SURIGAE). NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH A CROSS-TRACK SPREAD OF 315KM AT 72H WITH ECMWF AND ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN CONTINUING TO REMAIN FURTHER WEST OF THE REST OF THE MODELS. THE JTWC TRACK HAS BEEN PLACED NEAR THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE EARLY PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST. NUMERICAL MODEL CROSS-TRACK SPREAD IS 650KM AT 120H AS TRACK SOLUTIONS DIVERGE FURTHER, LENDING LOW CONFIDENCE TO THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.
02W(SURIGAE). 15/18UTC. AVN INTENSITY GUIDANCE. PEAK INTENSITY AT +60H= 110KNOTS/930HPA. USUALLY THE ACTUAL PEAK INTENSITY IS ABOVE THE AVN SOLUTION.
02W(SURIGAE). 16/0056UTC METOP-B ASCAT PASS SHOWING A TIGHTLY WRAPPED CIRCULATION.
02W(SURIGAE). 24H SHEAR TENDENCY.UW-CIMSS Experimental Vertical Shear and TC Intensity Trend Estimates: CIMSS Vertical Shear Magnitude : 6.2 m/s (12.0 kts)Direction : 97.2 deg Outlook for TC Intensification Based on Current Env. Shear Values and MPI Differential: FAVOURABLE OVER 24H.
16/03UTC. THE JTWC IS ISSUING 6HOURLY WARNINGS ON 02W(SURIGAE) AND 3HOURLY SATELIITE BULLETINS.
