^TS Durian continues to track west-northwestward along the
periphery of a low to mid-level (850-700 mb) ridge anchored
to the north. Durian will transition to a deeper steering
layer as it intensifies, and thus will come under the in-
fluence of a 500 mb ridge currently anchored to the north-
west of the system. The 500 mb anticyclone is forecast to
build as it drifts slowly eastward during the forecast pe-
riod, and will keep Durian on a west-northwestward track
through 72 hours. Despite favorable outflow, deep convection
associated with Durian has decreased over the past 12 hours,
and has only recently begun to re-develop over the low level
circulation center in the past several hours. Convection is
forecast to continue consolidating in an environment of low
to moderate vertical wind shear and very favorable diver-
gence aloft. TS Durian is forecast to intensify at a greater
than climatological rate through through 72 hours...(more info)
