DISCUSSION ----------------------------------- TS LUPIT IS LOCATED AT 33.9N, 132.6E. INFORMATION ON THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED MSI AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. POSITIONAL ACCURACY IS FAIR. CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 985HPA AND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE 45KNOTS. THE SYSTEM IS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH SSTS AND WEAK VWS. THIS HAS CAUSED THE SYSTEM TO DEVELOP OVER THE LAST SIX HOURS. INFORMATION ON THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS BASED ON SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND SURFACE WINDS DATA ESTIMATED FROM SATELLITE SCATTEROMETERS. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTHEASTWARD DUE TO INTERACTION WITH A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. ANIMATED MSI SHOWS CB CLUSTERS ARE SCATTERED AROUND THE CSC. ANIMATED MSI SHOWS GOOD CLOUD CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTICYCLONIC OUTFLOW. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS DRY AIR AROUND THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH UNTIL FT48. THE TRACK FORECAST IS BASED ON GSM PREDICTIONS, AND REFERENCE TO OTHER NWP MODELS. TRACK FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS FAIR BECAUSE ALL NWP MODELS ARE IN CLOSE AGREEMENT. THE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP UNTIL FT24 IN A STATE OF EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. THE SYSTEM WILL TRANSFORM INTO AN EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE BY FT12. THE INTENSITY FORECAST IS BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF GUIDANCE DATA INCLUDING GSM.
