AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 98W) HAS PERSISTED NEAR 7.2N
135.6E, APPROXIMATELY 60 NM EAST OF PALAU. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS AN EXPOSED, BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER (LLCC) WITH EXTENSIVE DEEP CONVECTION ALONG THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN PERIPHERIES. A 020041Z METOP-A 89GHZ IMAGE INDICATES
FRAGMENTED DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING DISPLACED OVER THE WEST QUADRANT
OF LLCC AND ALONG THE NORTHERN FLANK OF THE LARGE SYSTEM WITH SOME
SHALLOW BANDING WRAPPING INTO A WEAKLY-DEFINED CENTER JUST EAST OF
PALAU. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM KOROR, PALAU REVEAL A SLP VALUE OF
1005MB WITH A 2.3MB 24-HOUR DECREASE IN SLP. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS
SHOWS A MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH MODERATE, EASTERLY
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OFFSET BY STRONG DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT. DYNAMIC
MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES SLOW DEVELOPMENT AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE
WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS LOW.

ASCAT from this morning showed a broad closed circulation west of Palau with strong winds on the north side aided by trade winds enhanced by monsoon northeasterlies. On the south side, winds remain very weak. It's not a great setup, but it is worth noting that 98W has developed a closed circulation, and this is further reenforced by microwave data.

Image

Image

One of 98W's biggest hinderances at the current moment is a belt of strong upper level easterlies shearing the system. The shear is helping to stoke some very intense convection (<90*C tops), but only on the downshear side of the circulation. This may be alleviated some as the system begins to move to the north parallel with The Philippines.

Image

Image

Conditions aren't great, but considering the current state of organization and a slight slackening of shear in 98W's path over the next couple of days, some weak development may continue to proceed, allowing the system to develop into a weak Tropical Storm.

It's also worth noting that JMA has already tagged 98W as a tropical depression, and is expecting to name the system in 24 hours or so. The next name on the list is "Mufia."

Been somewhat of a tough day on the system so far. The weak and broad circulation may have opened back up. Shear remains brutal. It could be worse, but there is still much for this to do for it to be classified.

Interesting discussion from NWS.

A strong ridge of high pressure moving eastward across southern
Japan will prevent a tropical disturbance west-northwest of Koror at
8N132E to lift northward thru tonight. Strong low-level winds
associated with a shear line have been converging against the
northern periphery of the disturbance, triggering deep convection
northwest of Koror. Modest converging winds east of this disturbance
should maintain isolated thunderstorms near Koror and Yap instead.
Once this disturbance has lifted northward and become better
organized, a convergent tail of south winds related to this
disturbance draping over Koror and Yap might prolong showers and
thunderstorms thru midweek. ASCAT satellite imagery shows the strong
winds associated with the shear line are still just north of
disturbance center. If these strong winds manage to spiral into the
disturbance center, this could help the disturbance to further
develop.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 98W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED

NM SOUTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED MULTI-SPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 040140Z MHS METOP-A 89GHZ PARTIAL MICROWAVE
PASS DEPICT DEEP PERSISTENT CONVECTION DISPLACED WEST TO NORTH OF AN
EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC). A MOST RECENT SCAT PASS REVEALS
25-30 KNOT COLD SURGE WINDS NORTHWEST OF AN ILL-DEFINED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER AND 10-15 KNOT WINDS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST
QUADRANT. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS A MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT WITH THE LLC AT THE CUSP OF MODERATE TO HIGH (20-30
KNOT) EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND EXCELLENT DIFFLUENT
OUTFLOW ALOFT. AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS, DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT
AS THE SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH THE NORTHEAST SURGE EVENT. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. BASED ON THE
MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT ANALYZED, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS REMAINS MEDIUM.

I think this has some potential to be Muifa, but it will only be a weakling.

Hurricanes are an amazing natural phenomena. While many are spiraling pits of evil that kill people or cause devastation, some are tame and stay clear of land.
