WPAC: INVEST 97W

[Extratropical94]

Next one...
This time in the southern South China Sea

8.7 North - 116.7 East - 1010 millibars



Isn't this the same as 01W/96W or did 97 absorb 96?

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 7.6N
114.0E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 6.2N 112.4E, APPROXIMATELY 170 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF BRUNEI. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
060041Z AMSRE MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW CURVED CONVECTIVE BANDING AND
MINIMAL DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 060130Z ASCAT PASS DEPICTS A 15- TO 20-
KNOT LLCC. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED
EQUATORWARD OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS IN AN AREA WITH DIFFLUENCE
ALOFT AND MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OF APPROXIMATELY 25 KNOTS.
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT (>26 DEGREES
CELSIUS). MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20
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 UPGRADED TO FAIR.

[Extratropical94]

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 6.8N
113.6E, HAS DISSIPATED AND IS NO LONGER SUSPECT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
