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.
