(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 95W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR
26.5N 129.5E, APPROXIMATELY 90NM EAST OF KADENA, OKINAWA. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICT A FULLY
EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION IMBEDDED IN A BROADER CYCLONIC FLOW.
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR CYCLONE
DEVELOPMENT WITH WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (05-10 KTS), DUAL CHANNEL
OUTFLOW AND WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (29-30 C). GLOBAL MODELS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM
TRACKING EAST NORTHEASTWARD. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 10-15 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO
BE NEAR 996 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO LOW.
