Tropical Cyclone 05W (Hagupit) – Final Warning

According to the JTWC Warning number 20, sustained winds are 25 knots with gusts to 35 knots

Animated enhance infrared imagery depicts 05W as a weak, fully exposed, and shallow vortex completely void of any deep convection.

Environemntal analysis reveals a highly unfavorable environment characterized by high (20-25 kts) mid-level vertical wind shear, significant dry air entrainment, and poor upper-level divergence, offset by warm (29-30 c) sea surface temperatures.

Hagupit will continue drifting west-northwestward for the duration of the forecast period, and succumbing to the high mid-level shear and dry air entrainment no later than 12 hours.

Both track and intensity model guidance are in strong agreement, supporting the JTWC track and intensity forecasts
with high confidence.
