According to the JTWC, upper level analysis reveals a favorable environment with weak equatorward outflow, in an area of low 5-10 knot wind shear. Additionally, sea surface temperatures are conducive for tropical transition.
Maximum sustained winds are estimated at 15-20 knots.
The potential for the system to transition into a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 is low.
