JTWC IS STILL ISSUING 3HOURLY SATELLITE BULLETINS ON 04S(CHIDO). 3 HOURLY SATELLITE BULLETINS ARE ALSO ISSUED ON 95P.
WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC: INVEST 96W. 20241216/06UTC ADVISORY
THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 96W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 4.2N 130.9E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 5.5N 126.8E, APPROXIMATELY 219 NM EAST- SOUTHEAST OF DAVAO, PHILIPPINES. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) DEPICTS A BROAD AREA OF CONVECTION WITH AN ELONGATED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). A 160127Z METOP-C SCATTEROMETRY IMAGE REVEALS AN INCREASINGLY SYMMETRIC SURFACE CIRCULATION, WITH 15-20KT WINDS RESTRICTED TO THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES 96W IS IN A GENERALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH LOW (10-15 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS), WHILE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES REMAIN CONDUCIVE FOR INTENSIFICATION, BETWEEN 29C AND 30 C. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT 96W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY WESTWARD AND CONSOLIDATE NEAR SOUTHERN MINDANAO. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 18 TO 23 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.
GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT 96W WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY WESTWARD AND CONSOLIDATE NEAR SOUTHERN MINDANAO.
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE/SOUTH PACIFIC: INVEST 95P.
