SUBJ/SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE INDIAN 
OCEAN/REISSUED/112000Z-121800ZFEB2022//
RMKS/
1. NORTH INDIAN OCEAN AREA (MALAY PENINSULA WEST TO COAST OF AFRICA):
   A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY: NONE.
   B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY: NONE.
   C. SUBTROPICAL SYSTEM SUMMARY: NONE.
2. SOUTH INDIAN OCEAN AREA (135E WEST TO COAST OF AFRICA):
   A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY: NONE.
   B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY: 
   (1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 93S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 
17.4S 101.0E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 17.5S 101.6E, APPROXIMATELY 398NM 
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF COCOS ISLANDS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) 
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND AN 111130Z SSMIS 91GHZ PARTIAL MICROWAVE PASS  
DEPICT WEAK CONVECTION DISPLACED TO THE WEST OF A FULLY EXPOSED LOW 
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT IS MARGINAL,
CHARACTERIZED BY FAVORABLE WARM (30-31C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES 
(SST) BEING OFFSET BY MODERATE (20-25 KT) VERTICAL WIND 
SHEAR (VWS) AND WEAK OUTFLOW ALOFT. GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW 
A LOW, BUT NON-ZERO PROBABILITY OF DEVELOPMENT OF THIS 
SYSTEM TO TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY. THE REMNANT CIRCULATION WILL 
CONTINUE TO REMAIN WELL DEFINED FOR THE NEAR-TERM AND IS EXPECTED TO 
TRANSIT GENERALLY WESTWARD. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE 
ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED 
TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS LOW.
   (2) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 94S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 
12.4S 62.5E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 12.1S 63.1E, APPROXIMATELY 563NM 
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF MAURITIUS. OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS 94S HAS 
REMAINED PRIMARLY QUASI-STATIONARY. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) 
SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW BUILDING CONVECTION OBSCURING 
THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC). A BULLSEYE 111545Z GMI 89GHZ 
MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGE REVEALS A MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN CONVECTIVE 
ORGANIZATION, WITH A STRONG FEEDER BAND DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHERN 
SEMI-CIRCLE OF THE LLC. UNFORTUNATELY, NO ASCAT DATA WAS AVAILABLE 
DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE 
ENVIRONMENT FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT REMAINS MARGINALLY 
FAVORABLE CURRENTLY, WITH WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES 
(SST), LOW - MODERATE (10-20 KT) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND WEAK 
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN CURRENT DISAGREEMENT AS TO 
THE DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE OF 94S. ECMWF IS TAKING A MORE AGGRESSIVE 
APPROACH WITH THE SYSTEM STRENGTHENING TO TROPICAL CYCLONE STRENGTH 
WITHIN THE NEXT 48-72 HOURS. HOWEVER, GFS CURRENTLY SHOWS ONLY A 
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. THEREFORE, THIS 
DISTURBANCE WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY AS THERE REMAINS A CHANCE FOR 
DEVELOPMENT OF 94S AS IT CONTINUES TO TRACK WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD INTO 
A MORE FAVORABLE AREA OF WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS 
ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS 
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO 
MEDIUM.
   C. SUBTROPICAL SYSTEM SUMMARY: NONE.
3. JUSTIFICATION FOR REISSUE: UPGRADED AREA IN PARA 2.B.(2) TO 
MEDIUM.//
