A subtropical ridge is situated west of 03W, but is too far to have any real impact on the storm. WIth a lack of steering influence, 03W is expected to remain stagnant in the next 24 to 48 hours. Thereafter, a ridge east of 03W should start to strengthen, which will drive the storm northwards.

03W 以西有一副熱帶高壓脊，但其對風暴影響甚微。在流場微弱的環境下，預料 03W 將於未來 24 至 48 小時停滯。隨後 03W 以東的高壓脊將增強，令風暴開始北移。

Current T-number 現時的 T 號碼: T2.0/2.0/INT OBS

03W's initial development will be slow due to the significant vertical wind shear in the region. As the storm moves north, shear is expected to alleviate and this will allow the storm to strengthen.

由於 03W 所處區域垂直風切變不弱，03W 初期發展會較慢。隨著風暴北移，預料風切會有所緩解，風暴將得以增強。
