The scale of this thing is massive. It's also somewhat far north, near 20*N.

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TROPICAL STORM 23W (CHOI-WAN)
WARNING NR 04//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 23W (CHOI-WAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 87 NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF WAKE ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION WITH MULTIPLE MESOVORTICES
ROTATING CYCLONICALLY ABOUT A CENTROID. ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY
CONTINUES TO DEPICT IMPROVED DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO
THE CENTROID. ALTHOUGH TS 23W IS STILL A VERY LARGE SYSTEM, IT IS
GAINING CHARACTERISTICS TYPICAL OF A TROPICAL STORM, I.E., MORE
CENTRALIZED DEEP CONVECTION AND A CONTRACTING WIND FIELD. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY OF 40 KNOTS IS BASED ON RECENT ASCAT DATA. UPPER-
LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT WITH
GOOD OUTFLOW, LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND WARM SST. TS 23W HAS
BEGUN TO ACCELERATE WESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE NORTH.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC
REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TS 23W IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE STR. FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST AND PROMOTE A STEADY INTENSIFICATION RATE, PEAKING AT 85
KNOTS BY TAU 72.
C. IN THE EXTENDED TAUS, TS CHOI-WAN WILL BEGIN TO ROUND THE STR
AND TRACK MORE POLEWARD. AS IT GAINS LATITUDE, VWS WILL INCREASE AND
SSTS WILL DECREASE, RESULTING IN GRADUAL THEN RAPID WEAKENING.
CONCURRENTLY, TS 23W WILL COMMENCE EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION AS IT
ENTERS THE COLD BAROCLINIC ZONE. THE CYCLONE WILL TRANSFORM INTO A
COLD CORE LOW BY TAU 120. AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT, HOWEVER, GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE CURRENT STORM
MOTION AND THE INITIAL PORTION OF THE FORECAST TRACK, THERE IS LOW
CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK.//

TROPICAL STORM (TS) 23W (CHOI-WAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 343 NM
WEST OF WAKE ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 18 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY

CONVECTION WITH FORMATIVE BANDS TIGHTLY WRAP INTO THE CENTROID. A

CONCURRENTLY, CHOI-WAN IS FORECAST TO ROUND THE STR AND TRACK MORE

WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM.
C. BEYOND TAU 72, STRONG VWS IS EXPECTED TO HAMPER TS 23W AS IT

SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS A BETTER CONSOLIDATED STORM WITH
INCREASED CONVECTION WRAPPING TOWARDS THE CENTER; HOWEVER, IT IS

TROPICAL STORM (TS) 23W (CHOI-WAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 838 NM
NORTHEAST OF ANDERSEN AFB, GUAM HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT 15 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY (EIR) SHOWS DEEPENED CURVED CONVECTION ALONG THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY THAT HAS BUILT CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF THE
CENTROID. A 041122Z AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS A LARGE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) THAT IS DEVOID OF ANY SIGNIFICANT
CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE LLCC IN THE ABOVE
IMAGERY WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS HELD AT 50
KNOTS BASED ON AN UNCHANGED DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATE FROM RJTD AND
A RECENT SATCON INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 50 KNOTS. A 041039Z ASCAT PASS
SHOWED THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM WITH 40 TO 45 KNOT WINDS
AND AN EXPANDED 34 KNOT WIND FIELD ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY.
THE CURRENT AND FORECASTED WIND RADII HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED
ACCORDINGLY. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT
WITH A POINT SOURCE PROVIDING RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR (VWS). ADDITIONALLY, WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SSTS) ARE

NR 09//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 23W (CHOI-WAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 838 NM
NORTHEAST OF ANDERSEN AFB, GUAM HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT 15 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY (EIR) SHOWS DEEPENED CURVED CONVECTION ALONG THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY THAT HAS BUILT CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF THE
CENTROID. A 041122Z AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS A LARGE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) THAT IS DEVOID OF ANY SIGNIFICANT
CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON THE LLCC IN THE ABOVE
IMAGERY WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS HELD AT 50
KNOTS BASED ON AN UNCHANGED DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATE FROM RJTD AND
A RECENT SATCON INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF 50 KNOTS. A 041039Z ASCAT PASS
SHOWED THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM WITH 40 TO 45 KNOT WINDS
AND AN EXPANDED 34 KNOT WIND FIELD ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY.
THE CURRENT AND FORECASTED WIND RADII HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED
ACCORDINGLY. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT
WITH A POINT SOURCE PROVIDING RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR (VWS). ADDITIONALLY, WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SSTS) ARE
CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. TS 23W IS TRACKING ALONG THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE (STR) TO THE
NORTH.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC
REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TS 23W WILL CONTINUE TRACKING WESTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE STR OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AFTERWARDS, TS CHOI-WAN IS FORECAST
TO ROUND THE STR AND TRACK MORE POLEWARD. FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS; HOWEVER, DUE TO THE
BROAD NATURE OF THE SYSTEM, TS 23W IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY
INTENSIFY AS IT CONTINUES TO CONSOLIDATE. AS THE SYSTEM GAINS
LATITUDE, IT WILL ENCOUNTER INCREASING VWS AND DECREASING SSTS WHICH
WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE SYSTEM.
C. BEYOND TAU 72, VWS WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE ABOVE 30 KNOTS AND
SSTS WILL DROP BELOW 26 CELSIUS WHICH WILL INCREASE THE RATE OF
WEAKENING. TS CHOI-WAN WILL BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH THE BAROCLINIC
ZONE NEAR TAU 72 WHICH WILL BEGIN EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION. BY TAU
96, TS 23W WILL BE FULLY EMBEDDED IN THE BAROCLINIC ZONE, GAINING
FRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND TRANSITIONING TO A STRONG COLD-CORE
LOW. AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT; HOWEVER,
GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE INITIAL POSITION AND THE CURRENT STORM
MOTION, THERE IS STILL LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC FORECAST TRACK.//

Choi-wan's overall structure is actually quite good, just on a jumbo scale.

1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 23W (CHOI-WAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 149 NM
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF MINAMI TORI SHIMA, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
(EIR) SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING, BROAD LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH IMPROVED CONVECTIVE BANDING. A
051526Z GPM 37GHZ IMAGE SHOWS MULTIPLE CONVECTIVE BANDS WRAPPING
INTO A BROAD BUT DEFINED LLCC. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE
EIR AND GPM IMAGERY WITH FAIR CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS
ASSESSED AT 60 KNOTS, HEDGED SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE DVORAK
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 55 KNOTS (T3.5) BASED ON THE CONVECTIVE
STRUCTURE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH
RADIAL OUTFLOW AND LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). ADDITIONALLY, WARM
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SSTS) ARE CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT. TS 23W IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF
A DEEP-LAYERED SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE (STR).
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC
REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TS CHOI-WAN IS FORECAST TO ROUND THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF
THE STEERING STR AND TRACK ON A POLEWARD TRAJECTORY. FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS,
ALLOWING TS 23W TO REACH A PEAK INTENSITY OF 80 KNOTS BEFORE MOVING
INTO AN UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. NEAR TAU 24, THE STORM WILL BEGIN
EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT) AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE BAROCLINIC
ZONE. AFTER TAU 36, TS 23W IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN AS IT ENCOUNTERS
STRONG VWS AND TRACKS OVER COOL SST (BELOW 26 CELSIUS). TS CHOI-WAN
WILL COMPLETE ETT AS IT GAINS FRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS BY TAU 48 BUT
WILL REMAIN A STRONG COLD-CORE LOW AS IT TRACKS NORTHWARD WITH
EXPANSIVE GALE-FORCE WINDS, WHICH SHOULD EXTEND AS FAR WEST AS THE
NORTHEAST COAST OF HONSHU. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN VERY
TIGHT AGREEMENT THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD, THEREFORE, THERE IS
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC TRACK FORECAST.//
