There are no active tropical cyclones at the time of this writing
However, there’s a tropical disturbance being referred to as Invest 99S…which is located approximately 150 NM northwest of Rowley Shoals, Australia
Here’s a NOAA satellite image, along with what the computer models are showing.
Here’s a near real-time wind profile of Invest 99S
According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), satellite images show persistent deep convective cloud banding beginning to wrap into a developing low level circulation center.
Upper-level analysis shows a favorable environment, with low wind shear…and a well defined poleward outflow channel.
Global models show the system tracking southward towards the northwestern coast of Australia…while gradually strengthening before landfall.
Maximum sustained winds are estimated to be 20-25 knots.
The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours has been upgraded to medium.
>>> Finally, there’s a second tropical disturbance being referred to as Invest 90S…which is located approximately 50 NM northeast of Cocos Island, Australia
Here’s a NOAA satellite image, along with what the computer models are showing.
Here’s a near real-time wind profile of Invest 90S
According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), satellite images show formative cloud banding around the southern periphery of the low level circulation center.
Upper-level analysis shows a moderately favorable environment, with low 10-20 knot wind shear…and fair diffluence aloft.
Global models are developing the system within the next 24-36 hours, as it slowly tracks southeastward.
Maximum sustained winds are estimated to be 20-25 knots.
The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours is medium.
