>>> There’s an area of disturbed weather, being referred to as Invest 96S, which is located approximately 684 NM north-northeast of Mauritius

Animated satellite imagery and a microwave pass depicts sparse convection embedded within a broad circulation and an obscured low level circulation center.

Environmental analysis reveals moderately favorable conditions for development with warm sea surface temperatures,
good upper-level radial outflow offset by moderate (15-25 knot) vertical wind shear.

Global models are in fair agreement that invest 96S will steadily track west-southwestward with little to no development.

Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 10 to 15 knots.

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