1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
80 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 9.5S 84.2E TO 10.5S 80.3E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 23 TO 27 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 201700Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 9.5S 84.2E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING SOUTHWARD AT 10 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 90S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 9.9S 84.1E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 9.5S 84.2E. ANIMATED ENHANCED

(LLCC) WITH FLARING CONVECTION DISPLACED TO THE SOUTH. A 1454 ASCAT-
A IMAGE SHOWS WRAPPING 25 KT WINDS IN THE SOUTHERN SEMICIRCLE.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS REVEALS MARGINALLY UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS
WITH HIGH (30-40 KT) VWS OFFSET BY PRONOUNCED RADIAL OUTFLOW AND
HIGH SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES (29-30C). GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN
AGREEMENT THAT INVEST 90S WILL TRACK TO THE SOUTHWEST WITH THE GFS
DETERMINISTIC MODEL SHOWING THE MOST AGGRESSIVE PREDICTION. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 23 TO 27 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
