INVEST 92W. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A 110820Z SSMIS 91 GHZ MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEAL A MONSOON DEPRESSION, BUT CONVECTIVE BANDS PREVIOUSLY DISPLACED NEARLY 185KM ARE NOW DEEPENING AND CONSOLIDATING AROUND THE SYSTEM CENTER. THE SYSTEM STILL EXISTS UNDER A MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH LOW TO MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) (10-20 KNOTS) OFFSET BY A LACK OF DIVERGENCE ALOFT. 92W REMAINS IN A FAVORABLE AREA OF WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (SST) (30-31C).
GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT 92W WILL CONTINUE DEVELOPING ALONG ITS WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TRACK AND INTENSIFY PRIOR TO MOVING OVER HAINAN ISLAND. AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF WEAKENING DUE TO FRICTIONAL EFFECTS AS 92W PASSES OVER HAINAN ISLAND, 92W WILL RE- INTENSIFY WHEN IT ENTERS AN AREA OF EVEN WARMER WATERS AND LOWER VWS OVER THE GULF OF TONKIN. FURTHERMORE, AN UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE TO THE NORTH WILL RETROGRADE EASTWARD AND IMPROVE OUTFLOW ALLOWING FOR FURTHER INTENSIFICATION.
