AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 98W) HAS PERSISTED NEAR 7.5N
127.9E, APPROXIMATELY 170 NM EAST OF DAVAO, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY DEPICTS AN LLCC WITH FORMATIVE BANDING TO
THE WEST, OVER MINDANAO. THIS LLCC IS LOCATED WITHIN A BROADER SCALE
CIRCULATION THAT ALSO CONTAINS INVEST 97W. UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS
ARE GENERALLY FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WITH LOW (10-15
KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. THE GFS MODEL IS
ANALYZING THE LLCC WITHIN THE BROADER CIRCULATION, BUT DOES NOT
CURRENTLY DEVELOP THIS DISTURBANCE. 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 LOW.
