SHOW AN ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC) WITH FLARING
CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHWEST. A 030053Z ASCAT PASS SHOWS 20-25 KNOT
WINDS TO THE SOUTHWEST AND NORTHEAST OF THE LLC. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS SHOWS 97S BORDERING AN AREA OF LOW TO MODERATE (15-25 KNOT)
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WITH EXCELLENT DIVERGENCE ALOFT. WARM SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES (28-30 CELSIUS) IN THE NORTHERN TIMOR SEA
SUPPORT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT
THAT 97S WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK TO THE SOUTHWEST, GRADUALLY
INTENSIFYING TO TROPICAL CYCLONE STRENGTH OVER THE NEXT 36-48 HOURS.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 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 UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.
