B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 98W) HAS PERSISTED NEAR 3.0N
140.0E, APPROXIMATELY 407 NM SOUTHEAST OF KOROR, PALAU. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED AND A 210824Z SSMIS 91GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOW
FLARING DISORGANIZED CONVECTION THROUGHOUT A VERY BROAD LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS IN THE AREA ARE
MARGINALLY FAVORABLE WITH EASTERLY DIFFLUENT FLOW AND LOW VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR. GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE A BROAD LLCC TRACKING WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD TOWARDS THE CENTRAL PHILIPPINES WITH SLOW DEVELOPMENT.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE
WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS LOW.
