1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
075 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 17.8S 122.7E TO 19.0S 120.2E
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 20 TO 25 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 051800Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 17.8S 122.6E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS:
THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 98P) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 16.4S 126.7E
IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 17.8S 122.6E, APPROXIMATELY 24 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF

CIRCULATION WITH A PARTIALLY EXPOSED LLCC, RADAR FROM BROOME, AUSTRALIA
SHOWS DEEP CONVECTIVE CELLS ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY DISPLACED FROM THE
CIRCULATION CENTER AS IT TAKES A MORE COASTAL POSITION. A 051356Z ASCAT
