(3) AN AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 99S) HAS PERSISTED NEAR
15.7S 119.2E, APPROXIMATELY 217 NM NORTH OF BROOME, AUSTRALIA.
ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 070532Z AMSR2
89GHZ SATELLITE IMAGE DEPICT FORMATIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A
CONSOLIDATING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION WITH FLARING CONVECTION IN THE
NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE. A 070147Z ASCAT-C IMAGE REVEALS A BROAD
CIRCULATION WITH AN EXTENSIVE AREA OF MOSTLY 15-20KT WINDS IN THE
EASTERN SEMICIRCLE. INVEST 99S IS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR
DEVELOPMENT WITH LOW (<15KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR, GOOD OUTFLOW
ALOFT, AND WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. GLOBAL MODELS ARE
IN FAIR AGREEMENT THAT INVEST 99S WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARDS AUSTRALIA WITH SOME CONSOLIDATION BEFORE
MAKING LANDFALL. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15
TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007
MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS LOW.

(2) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 99S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR
16.8S 119.4E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 17.4S 120.2E, APPROXIMATELY 120 NM
WEST-NORTHWEST OF BROOME, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS LOW LEVEL TURNING WITH PERSISTENT CONVECTION
OVERHEAD. A 081302Z MHS 89GHZ PARTIAL MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS AN
AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION WITH FORMATIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). INVEST 99S IS IN A MARGINAL
ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH MODERATE (15-25KTS) VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR, POLEWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT, AND WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THAT INVEST 99S WILL
CONSOLIDATE MARGINALLY AS IT TRACKS SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARDS AUSTRALIA.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1004 MB. THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN
THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS LOW.

SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT (INVEST 99S)//
RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
070 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 17.7S 120.6E TO 19.6S 121.8E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 28 TO 33 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 081800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 17.9S 120.8E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD AT 08
KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 99S), PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 15.8S 118.9E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 17.9S 120.8E, APPROXIMATELY 81
NM WEST OF BROOME, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY
(EIR) DEPICTS PERSISTENT CONVECTION OBSCURING A LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 081707Z AMSR2 89GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE
REVEALS FORMATIVE BANDING WRAPPING INTO A LLCC. INVEST 99S IS IN A
MODERATELY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH ROBUST POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND
WARM (30-31C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SST) OFFSET BY MODERATE (10-
20 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). GLOBAL MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT
99S WILL BRIEFLY INTENSIFY BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL OVER AUSTRALIA
AROUND TAU 12. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 28
TO 33 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 998
MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
