Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Pacific / Indian Oceans

Tropical Cyclone Activity Reports for Pacific and Indian Oceans

There are no active tropical cyclones in the

Pacific or Indian Oceans…nor adjacent seas

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), is pointing out an area of disturbed weather today, located approximately 70 NM south of Willis Island, Australia. Satellite imagery shows an elongated, although consolidating low level circulation center, with deep thunderstorms in the area. A looping radar image from Willis Island, shows fragmented convective banding wrapping into this circulation center. This area of circulation has 20-25 knot (23-29 mph) winds near the center, with 25-30 knot (29-35 mph) winds over the northern edge of this circulation center.

Sea level pressure in this area is running 1000 millibars (29.53 inches of mercury) at the time of this writing. Upper air analysis shows good poleward and equatorial outflow, however moderate 20 knot vertical wind shear is hindering convective development. Given the current environmental conditions, the JTWC is giving this tropical disturbance a medium chance of spinning up into a tropical cyclone over the next 24 hours.
