Here’s what the computer models show
According to the JTWC, TS 16W is located within a marginal environment and is tracking equatorward, with strong 30-35 knot wind shear. Additionally, there is significant dry air entraining into the system.
TS 16W is forecast to turn south-southeastward through the forecast period. The storm will weaken steadily due to moderate to strong 20-30 knot wind shear and continued dry air entrainment , with dissipation anticipated by 36 hours.
After 72 hours, as the system tracks over warm sea surface temperatures and under decreasing wind shear, there is some potential for it to slowly regenerate.
