(1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 92P) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 17.7S 153.2E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 18.4S 160.0E, APPROXIMATELY
480NM WEST OF PORT VILA, VANUATU. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY CONTINUES TO DEPICT A POORLY-ORGANIZED AND ELONGATED
DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED WITHIN A WEST-NORTHWEST TO EAST-SOUTHEAST
ORIENTED FRONTAL TROUGH. A 060252Z AMSR2 36GHZ COLOR COMPOSITE
MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS NO DISCERNIBLE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION WITH
HIGHLY DISORGANIZED SHALLOW BANDS OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE CORAL
SEA. THE DISTURBANCE IS LOCATED WITHIN MODERATE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE. VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR REMAINS LOW TO MODERATE WITH WARM SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES OF 29-30 DEGREES CELSIUS. THE DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED
TO TRACK EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD VANUATU ALONG THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS WITHIN A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT. WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS, NUMERICAL MODELS
GENERALLY AGREE THAT SOME DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR AS THE DISTURBANCE
TRACKS UNDER A MORE FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT BENEATH THE
BROAD UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE. THIS ZONE WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY, AS A
COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT COULD LEAD TO MULTIPLE CIRCULATIONS FORMING IN
CLOSE PROXIMITY WITHIN THE SOUTH PACIFIC CONVERGENCE ZONE IN THE
GENERAL VICINITY OF NEW CALEDONIA, VANUATU, FIJI, AND TONGA DURING
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED
AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE
NEAR 999 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS LOW.
