There are no active tropical cyclones in the Pacific or Indian Oceans…nor adjacent seas

The area of disturbed weather that became active over the ocean to the northeast of Papua New Guinea, in the general area of the Federated States of Micronesia yesterday…remains in place today. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) is now showing the location as approximately 135 NM south-southeast of Chuuk. Animated satellite imagery shows a poorly defined low level circulation center, with disorganized deep convection (thunderstorms) flaring up over the western side of this area.

Surface observations from Chuuk show sustained northeast winds of 10-15 knots…with gusts to 20-25 knots. Upper-level 10-20 knot shearing winds are providing only a marginal environment for strengthening of this tropical disturbance. Thus, the low chance of development of a significant tropical cyclone during the next 24 hours. Here’s a satellite image of this area.
