JTWC 22Z評級提升Medium
(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 97P) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 14.9S 170.6E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 16.0S 176.1E, APPROXIMATELY
135 NM NORTHWEST OF NADI, FIJI. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A PARTIALLY EXPOSED, ELONGATED, LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) AND FLARING CONVECTION. A 071853Z 91GHZ
SSMIS MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS AN ELONGATED CIRCULATION WITH
CONVECTIVE BANDS TO THE NORTH BUT MOST OF THE CONVECTION APPEARS TO
BE FLARING AND NOT WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER. A 071037Z ASCAT IMAGE
SHOWS A BROAD CIRCULATION WITH PRIMARILY 10-15 KNOT WINDS. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT 97P IS LOCATED IN AN AREA OF LIGHT
DIVERGENCE ALOFT, MODERATE TO HIGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (20-30
KNOTS), AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (28-30 CELSIUS). DYNAMIC
MODELS AGREE THAT 97P WILL TRACK TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST AND
STRENGTHEN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE TURNING TO THE EAST-
SOUTHEAST. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO
20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002
MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.
