JMA:
LOW PRESSURE AREA 1008 HPA NEAR 06N 135E WNW SLOWLY

This is from JTWC:

B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 6.6N 136.4E,
APPROXIMATELY 115 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF PALAU. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AN ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER
(LLCC) ASSOCIATED WITH FLARING CONVECTION. RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY
DEPICTS AN UNORGANIZED LLCC. SEA LEVEL PRESSURE FROM PALAU IS 1008
MB. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE LLCC IS EQUATORWARD OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
DIVERGENCE ALOFT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT
10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1008 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS POOR.

looks like chances are going up..


looking a little more organized to the naked eye

Remains poor:

(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 6.6N
136.4E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.0N 136.3E, APPROXIMATELY 110 NM EAST-
NORTHEAST OF PALAU. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
BROAD LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH UNORGANIZED, FLARING
CONVECTION. RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGERY ALSO DEPICTS A BROAD LLCC WITH
SHALLOW CONVECTION. SEA LEVEL PRESSURE AT PALAU IS 1008 MB, AND
WINDS ARE NEAR 5 KNOTS WITH LITTLE CHANGE DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS.
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE LLCC REMAINS EQUATORWARD OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA OF LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
DIVERGENCE ALOFT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT
10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1008 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS POOR.

Got a video today on 90W, and I'm sure as most realize the NRL site is still down. So a little more challenging gathering info. (its not all in the same nice spot now) but got some stuff put together here.

Also I realize it is skipping, bandwidth issues here.
