Tropical Cyclone 14W (Dolphin) – Final Warning
Here’s what the computer models show
According to the JTWC, the system has maintained a good poleward outflow channel and warm sea surface temperatures, which is partially offsetting the strong wind shear aloft.
TS 14S will continue on its current track, then after 12 hours, it will turn more northerly. Increasing wind shear will offset the strong poleward outflow and warm sea surface temperatures, and gradually weaken the system down to 35 knots by 24 hours.
