(2) THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 16.5N
134.0E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 17.4N 133.7E, APPROXIMATELY 650 NM
SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AB, OKINAWA. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE
IMAGERY DEPICTS A VERY BROAD CIRCULATION WITH CONVECTION BEGINNING
TO WRAP AROUND THE OUTER PERIPHERIES WHILE THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER REMAINS POORLY DEFINED AND CENTRAL CONVECTION IS LIMITED. A
270115Z ASCAT PASS REVEALS A SLIGHTLY MORE DEFINED LLCC WITH WEAK
CORE WINDS (5 TO 15 KNOTS) WHILE WINDS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PERIPHERY
REMAIN STRONGER AT 15 TO 25 KNOTS, WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY
OBSERVATIONS FROM PALAU AND YAP. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS A
MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT WITH GOOD OUTFLOW AND MODERATE (15
TO 20 KNOTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE
REGION ARE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE
WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO
MEDIUM. 評級又調升為中等! |
