Animated multi-spectral satellite imagery depict a broad low level circulation partially obscured by deep convection in the northwestern periphery.

Upper level analysis reveals improving conditions for development with moderate equatorward outflow and low to moderate (10-20 knot) vertical wind shear. Sea surface temperatures remain warm.

Global models are in good agreement that 92W will gradually intensify as it tracks west-northwestward towards Legazpi, Philippines over the next 24-48 hours.

Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 15 to 20 knots.

The potential for the development is upgraded to medium. low.
