Southwest Pacific Ocean

>>> There’s an area of disturbed weather being referred to as Invest 93P, which is located approximately 311 NM north of Gore AP, Australia 

Animated multi-spectral satellite imagery depicts a slowly consolidating, partially-exposed low level circulation center (llcc) with flaring convection along the southern periphery of the center.

Environmental analysis reveals a moderate environment for development with low to moderate (15-20 knots) vertical wind shear and moderate poleward outflow aloft. Furthermore, warm sea surface temperatures and a humid climate are currently helping 93P with potential development.

Deterministic and ensemble models are in good agreement that Invest 93P will remain quasi-stationary near the Arafura Sea and continue to intensify over the next 24 hours.

Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 23 to 28 knots.

The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours remains medium.
