SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (INVEST 92B)//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
140 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 7.7N 64.9E TO 10.6N 59.6E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 25 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 071800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 7.7N 64.7E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTHWARD AT 07 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 92B) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 7.3N 64.0E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 7.7N 64.7E, APPROXIMATELY 684 NM
SOUTHEAST OF SOCOTRA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A
071730Z METOP-B ASCAT PASS DEPICT BUILDING DEEP CONVECTION SLIGHTLY
OFFSET TO THE NORTHEAST WITH FORMATIVE BANDING WRAPPING IN FROM THE
NORTH OVER A SLIGHTLY ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH GOOD
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND LOW (<15 KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORABLE AT 29-30 DEGREES CELSIUS. GLOBAL
MODELS ARE IN SLIGHT DISAGREEMENT WITH GFS AND NAVGEM SHOWING SLIGHT
INTENSIFICATION AND A NORTHWESTWARD TRACK WHILE UKMET, JGSM, AND
ECMWF SHOW MINIMAL CIRCULATION AND INTENSIFICATION OF 92B. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS HIGH.
