SUBJ/SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE WESTERN AND
SOUTH PACIFIC OCEANS/270600Z-280600ZAPR2018//
RMKS/
1. WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC AREA (180 TO MALAY PENINSULA):
A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY: NONE.
B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 93W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 3.3N 144.6E, HAS DISSIPATED AND IS NO LONGER SUSPECT FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
(2) NO OTHER SUSPECT AREAS.
2. SOUTH PACIFIC AREA (WEST COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA TO 135 EAST):
A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY: NONE.
B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY: NONE.//
NNNN
B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 93W) HAS PERSISTED NEAR 3.3N
144.6E, APPROXIMATELY 534 NM SOUTHEAST OF YAP. ANIMATED
MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A BROAD LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
COVERED BY FLARING CONVECTION. A 252326Z METOP-B 89GHZ MICROWAVE
IMAGE SHOWS FORMATIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO AN AREA OF DEEP
CONVECTION. A 260026Z ASCAT PASS REVEALS CYCLONIC TURNING AND
TROUGHING, A LINE OF CONVERGENCE, AND AN AREA OF 20 KNOT WIND BARBS
TO THE WEST OF THE CENTER, BUT NOT A CLOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT 93W IS LOCATED IN AN AREA OF
LOW (5-10 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, AND STRONG DIVERGENCE ALOFT WHICH
IS FUELING DEEP CONVECTION. WARM (28-30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. GLOBAL MODELS DO NOT
SHOW DEVELOPMENT IN THE 96 HOUR WINDOW AT THIS TIME. 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 LOW.
