Finally got some possibility to develop.

AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 6.5N 135.8E,
APPROXIMATELY 95NM SOUTHEAST OF PALAU. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A POORLY-ORGANIZED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER WITH PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE
DUE TO CONVERGENT LOW-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW. A 210436Z AMSU IMAGE
INDICATES FRAGMENTED CONVECTIVE BANDING ONLY OVER THE SOUTHERN SEMI-
CIRCLE. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM PALAU SHOW SUSTAINED EASTERLY
WINDS OF 10 KNOTS AND SLP NEAR 1006MB. A SHIP OBSERVATION 200NM
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF THE CURRENT POSITION INDICATES A WESTERLY WIND
BURST WITH WEST-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AT 17 KNOTS. UPPER-LEVEL
ANALYSIS DEPICTS A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT WITH DIFFLUENT NORTHEASTERLY
FLOW AND WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). THE 21/00Z PTRO SOUNDING
ALSO DEPICTS A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT WITH UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW AND
RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE COLUMN. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1006MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS LOW.

GFS has been showing a TC formation east of PI since last week. Maybe this is it.

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 6.5N
135.8E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 7.8N 132.7E, APPROXIMATELY 115NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF PALAU. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS
A BROAD BUT SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
WITH FORMATIVE DEEP CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER THE NORTHERN SEMI-
CIRCLE. A 212348Z SSMIS 37GHZ IMAGE INDICATES CURVED BANDING
WRAPPING BROADLY INTO THE LLCC WITH A WEAK CONVECTIVE BAND OVER THE
SOUTHWEST QUADRANT. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM PALAU SHOW SUSTAINED
SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 05 TO 10 KNOTS AND SLP NEAR 1006MB. A NUMBER OF
RECENT SHIP OBSERVATIONS NEAR THE LLCC INDICATE SLP VALUES NEAR
1006MB, INDICATIVE OF THE STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE AREA. UPPER-
LEVEL ANALYSIS DEPICTS AN IMPROVED ENVIRONMENT WITH A POINT SOURCE
NOW LOCATED OVER THE LLCC, PROVIDING GOOD OVERALL OUTFLOW. DYNAMIC
MODELS INDICATE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS WESTWARD
TOWARD THE SOUTHERN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS WITH THE FORMATION OF A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION PREDICTED WITHIN THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 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 UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.

does anybody know what happened to MTSAT 2?? JMA is saying it's in operational observation but the IR images have been from MTSAT 1R for about a week now...

anyway, 92W looking good right now, strong mid-level circulation... new convection firing off but i'm not sure if that's over the LLCC... at this rate, there is still a chance this system gets named before hitting the Philippines...

i'll answer my own question... :D

JMA will be conducting maintenance with the ground system thru December of 2012 so MTSAT 1R will be brought back to service for the meantime... :)
