WPAC: SANVU - Post-Tropical

[euro6208]

I wonder what JMA is saying about this besides their map and intensity forecast.

[mrbagyo]

The models keep insisting this will strengthen very significantly.

aha aha. Sanvu's sneakin

[1900hurricane]

Yep, definitely gaining some organization.

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL STORM 17W (SANVU) WARNING NR
09//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 17W (SANVU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 48 NM
SOUTHWEST OF CHICHI JIMA, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS OVER THE
PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS
IMPROVED DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE SOUTH QUADRANT OF
THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. A 301124Z METOP-A 89GHZ COLOR
COMPOSITE IMAGE INDICATES TIGHTLY-CURVED SHALLOW BANDING WRAPPING
INTO A WELL-DEFINED CENTER WITH DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHWEST
SEMI-CIRCLE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS NOW INDICATES AN IMPROVED
ENVIRONMENT WITH GOOD OUTFLOW OVER ALL QUADRANTS EXCEPT THE SOUTH
QUADRANT DUE TO CONVERGENT FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAKENING UPPER-
LOW TO THE SOUTH. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE METOP-A IMAGE
AND A 301219Z ASCAT AMBIGUITY ANALYSIS WITH EXCELLENT CONFIDENCE.
ADDITIONALLY, SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM CHICHI-JIMA NOW SHOW
SOUTHEASTERLY SUSTAINED 10-MINUTE AVERAGE WINDS OF 36 KNOTS
(MINIMUM SLP THUS FAR OF 973.9MB). THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS
ASSESSED AT 55 KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF
3.5 (55 KNOTS) FROM ALL AGENCIES AND A 30/0858Z SATCON ESTIMATE OF
56 KNOTS. TS 17W IS TRACKING UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF AN
EXTENSION OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTH.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM THE
PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE. THE 34-KNOT WIND RADII HAVE
BEEN ADJUSTED BASED ON A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
ASCAT IMAGE.
B. THE STR IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN AS A MIDLATITUDE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH DEEPENS OVER CENTRAL JAPAN BY TAU 24. THEREFORE, AFTER A
BRIEF PERIOD OF QUASI-STATIONARY MOTION, TS 17W WILL TURN SHARPLY
POLEWARD AND WILL ACCELERATE NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD. THE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION BY TAU 72 AS IT BEGINS
TO INTERACT WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND SHORTWAVE TROUGH. DYNAMIC
MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH TAU 72 WITH A SPREAD IN
SOLUTIONS AT TAU 72 OF 170NM.
C. AFTER TAU 72, TS SANVU WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATE
NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AS IT BECOMES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE MAJOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND RAPIDLY GAINS FRONTAL
CHARACTERISTICS. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO COMPLETE EXTRA-TROPICAL
TRANSITION BY TAU 96 BUT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN A STRONG COLD-CORE
LOW WITH EXPANSIVE GALE-FORCE WINDS. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS
IN GOOD AGREEMENT, THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC
FORECAST TRACK.//

[euro6208]

EURO peaks this at 936 mb and GFS 911 mb.

[1900hurricane]

Sanvu is still battling a huge amount of dry air. Guidance may be once again showing its subtropical over-intensification bias.

[Digital-TC-Chaser]

Given the low bias,likely this maybe a typhoon.

[euro6208]

Yep looks very much.like one on visible.

[NotoSans]

Once again the models become hyper with these large, mid-latitude storms. There would be some intensification but I don't think there is a chance that the solutions from the global models will materialize.

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL STORM 17W (SANVU) WARNING NR
11//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM 17W (SANVU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 52 NM SOUTHWEST
OF CHICHI JIMA, JAPAN HAS TRACKED EASTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST
SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A
CONSOLIDATING CORE STRUCTURE SHOWING LITTLE MOVEMENT OVER THE LAST
SIX HOURS WITH A BAND OF MODERATELY DEEP CONVECTION ON THE EASTERN
SIDE SEPARATING FROM THE MAIN BODY OF CONVECTION. THE CIMSS ANIMATED
TPW PRODUCT SHOWS A BAND OF DRY AIR BEGINNING TO ENVELOP THE SYSTEM
FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE INITIAL POSITION
BASED ON RECENT SATELLITE FIXES AND THE CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION EVIDENT IN MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY. THE INITIAL INTENSITY
IS ASSESSED AT 55 KNOTS AND IS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY
ESTIMATES OF T3.5 (55 KNOTS) FROM ALL REPORTING AGENCIES. UPPER-
LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT AS A TROUGH TO THE
SOUTHWEST IS BEGINNING TO FILL, FAVORING INCREASED EQUATORWARD
OUTFLOW. MEANWHILE, THERE IS A VERY ROBUST POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL
AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. SSTS IN THE REGION ARE ALSO SUPPORTIVE
AROUND 29 TO 30 CELSIUS. CURRENTLY TS 17W IS DRIFTING EASTWARD IN A
COMPETING STEERING ENVIRONMENT WITH DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGES
TO BOTH THE EAST AND WEST OF THE SYSTEM.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM THE
PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TS 17W WILL TAKE A QUASI-STATIONARY TRACK OVER THE NEXT 36 TO
48 HOURS AS BOTH RIDGES REMAIN IN PLACE PREVENTING SIGNIFICANT
FOREWORD SPEED. SOMETIME AROUND TAU 36 A MIDLATITUDE TROUGH WILL
DEVELOP OVER JAPAN ERODING THE WESTERN RIDGE AND ALLOWING THE
EASTERN RIDGE TO ACCELERATE TS 17W ON A NORTH-NORTHEAST TRACK.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN FAVORABLE OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE DAYS WITH ENHANCED POLEWARD OUTFLOW AS THE TROUGH
DEVELOPS. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY TO 80 KNOTS BY TAU 48
THEN BEGIN WEAKENING DUE TO INCREASING WIND SHEAR FROM INTERACTION
WITH THE APPROACHING TROUGH.
C. IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD TS 17W WILL ACCELERATE INTO THE
BAROCLINIC REGION OF THE ASSOCIATED TROUGH AND BY TAU 72 WILL HAVE
BEGUN TRANSITIONING INTO A COLD CORE EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM. THE
ALREADY BROAD WIND FIELD IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND FURTHER EXTENDING THE
RANGE OF ASSOCIATED GALES, ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST
QUADRANTS. TS 17W IS FORECAST TO COMPLETE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION
BY TAU 96. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN RELATIVELY GOOD
AGREEMENT, THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST
TRACK.//

1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TYPHOON 17W (SANVU), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 12 NM WEST-NORTHWEST
OF CHICHI JIMA, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON SATELLITE
FIXES FROM PGTW AND RJTD AND AN EYE FEATURE EVIDENT IN 310457Z SSMI
MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE INTENSITY OF 70 KNOTS IS
CONSISTENT WITH A CONSENSUS OF MULTI-AGENCY SUBJECTIVE DVORAK
VALUES, RECENT AUTOMATED SATELLITE INTENSITY CONSENSUS ESTIMATES
AND RECENT SEA LEVEL PRESSURE OBSERVATIONS FROM CHICHI JIMA. TY 17W
HAS STEADILY INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS UNDER THE
INFLUENCES OF IMPROVING UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW, LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR AND FAVORABLY HIGH OCEAN HEAT CONTENT. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION, PARTICULARLY
PRONOUNCED ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE CIRCULATION,
WRAPPING AROUND A RAGGED, 28 NM EYE. TY 17W IS TRACKING NORTH-
NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE EXTENSION
TO THE SOUTH OF THE SYSTEM.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THE CURRENT FORECAST LIES SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST, FORECAST INTENSITIES HAVE INCREASED MARGINALLY
BASED ON RECENT TRENDS AND EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IS EXPECTED TO
BE COMPLETE BY TAU 72. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO
THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING
MESSAGE.
B. TS 17W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING GENERALLY
NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
SUBTROPICAL RIDGING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST, AND TO ACCELERATE
POLEWARD AFTER TAU 48 AS IT BECOMES ABSORBED IN A MID-LATITUDE
TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. SLOW FORWARD MOTION IS
ANTICIPATED IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS DUE TO CHANGES IN ORIENTATION OF
THE STEERING RIDGE DURING THAT PERIOD. FORWARD TRACK SPEEDS WILL
INCREASE AFTER TAU 24, PARTICULARLY AS THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE
STEERING RIDGE AND APPROACHING TROUGH INCREASES. ADDITIONAL
INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS AS
POLEWARD OUTFLOW IMPROVES AND ALONG-TRACK SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES
REMAIN CONDUCIVE. HOWEVER, NEARBY UPPER-LEVEL TROUGHING AND THE
BROAD NATURE OF THE STORM CIRCULATION, FOLLOWED BY INCREASING
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH,
WILL LIKELY LIMIT THE EXTENT OF FURTHER INTENSIFICATION. TY 17W IS
EXPECTED TO INTERACT FAVORABLY WITH THE APPROACHING TROUGH,
YIELDING A VERY INTENSE EXTRATROPICAL LOW BY TAU 72. NUMERICAL
MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT, LENDING HIGH
CONFIDENCE TO THE CURRENT TRACK FORECAST.//

ChiChi Jima right in the eyewall...

[euro6208]

EURO and GFS bottoms this out at 937 mb and 923 mb. Has a monster storm for the Kuril Islands north of Japan.

[mrbagyo]

Pressure bottomed out in Chichijima earlier at 967.5 mb with 6.6 m/s of SSE wind.
Those reading was not even at the center of the eye so the pressure must between 960 to 965 earlier - must be lower now.
