Reliable intensity guidance (including COAMPS-TC (GFS) and HAFS-A) shows a peak intensity of 175–195 km/h (95–105 knots) at 12 hours, supported by triggered rapid intensification guidance.

After 12 hours, there is strong agreement that the system will rapidly weaken as it tracks toward the coast of Vietnam.
