According to the JTWC…satellite imagery shows deep convection, displaced over the western quadrant of a ragged and elongated low level circulation.

Conditions for development are favorable as invest 93S lies near a divergent quadrant of a col region, providing robust outflow, low (5-15 knot) vertical wind shear and very warm sea surface temperatures.

Global numerical models agree that invest 93S will continue on its west-southwestward track and moderately intensify.
