JTWC 00Z評級提升至Medium，逐漸增強。
(2) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 94W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 18.2N 156.6E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 19.2N 153.5E, APPROXIMATELY
748 NM WEST OF WAKE ISLAND. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A SLOWLY CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
WITH CLOUD LINES BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED. THERE IS OVERALL BROAD
TURNING WITH FLARING CONVECTION DISPLACED TO THE SOUTHWEST. A
012016Z SSMIS 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE EMPHASIZES THAT THE SYSTEM IS
BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED WITH FORMATIVE BANDING BEGINNING TO OCCUR.
THE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH
LOW (5-10 KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, GOOD POLEWARD AND EQUATORWARD
OUTFLOW, AND VERY WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. GLOBAL
MODELS DIFFER WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM. SOME MODELS, GFS,
DEPICT 93W MERGING WITH 94W BEFORE HEADING ON A WESTERLY TO
NORTHERLY TRACK. WHILE OTHER MODELS, SPECIFICALLY NAVGEM HAS JUST
94W DEVELOPING AND HEADING ON A NORTHWESTERLY TRACK. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.
