THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 10.0S
88.7E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.8S 86.5E, APPROXIMATELY 910 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF DIEGO GARCIA. RECENT ANIMATED METSAT IMAGERY SHOWS
PERSISTENT CONVECTION AND A SMALL CENTRAL DENSE OVERCAST FEATURE.
DEEP CONVECTION IS WRAPPING INTO A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. THE
UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT REMAINS MARGINAL WITH MODERATE EASTERLY WIND
SHEAR THAT IS CURRENTLY HINDERING FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1006 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS REMAINS POOR.
