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:
      (1) AT 26FEB22 1200Z, TROPICAL CYCLONE 14S (VERNON) WAS 
LOCATED NEAR 14.2S 88.0E, APPROXIMATELY 10037 NM WEST-NORTHWEST OF 
MANZANILLO, AND HAD TRACKED WEST- NORTHWESTWARD AT 12 KNOTS OVER THE 
PAST SIX HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS WERE ESTIMATED AT 
100 KNOTS GUSTING TO 125 KNOTS. SEE REF A (WTXS31 PGTW 261500) FOR 
FURTHER DETAILS.
      (2) AT 26FEB22 1200Z, TROPICAL CYCLONE 15S (ANIKA) WAS LOCATED 
NEAR 13.7S 126.9E, APPROXIMATELY 245 NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF DARWIN, 
AUSTRALIA, AND HAD TRACKED SOUTH- SOUTHWESTWARD AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE 
PAST SIX HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS WERE ESTIMATED AT 55 
KNOTS GUSTING TO 70 KNOTS. SEE REF B (WTXS32 PGTW 261500) FOR 
FURTHER DETAILS.
      (3) NO OTHER TROPICAL CYCLONES.
   B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
      (1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 93S) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED 
NEAR 11.4S 88.2E IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 11.8S 91.3E, APPROXIMATELY 329 
NM WEST OF COCOS ISLANDS, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED 
SATELLITE IMAGERY (EIR) DEPICTS FLARING CONVECTION PARTIALLY 
OBSCURING A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC). THE ENVIRONMENT IS 
MARGINALLY-FAVORABLE FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT WITH HIGH (30-
40KTS) VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OFFSET BY WARM (29-30C) SEA SURFACE 
TEMPERATURES AND MODERATE POLEWARD OUTFLOW. GLOBAL NUMERICAL MODELS 
AGREE THAT INVEST 93S WILL COMPLETE ITS BINARY INTERACTION WITH TC 
14S WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE 
ESTIMATED AT 28 TO 33 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED 
TO BE NEAR 1001 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS MEDIUM.
      (2) NO OTHER SUSPECT AREAS.
   C. SUBTROPICAL SYSTEM SUMMARY: NONE.//
