AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 23.7S 34.1E, APPROXIMATELY 165 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUE. ANIMATED MSI SHOWS A TIGHTLY WRAPPED LLCC WITH DEEP CENTRAL CONVECTION SLOWLY TRACKING TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE LLCC IS LOCATED UNDER A WELL ESTABLISHED ANTICYCLONE, WHICH IS CREATING A REGION OF VERY FAVORABLE OUTFLOW AND LOW VWS. SSTS OFF THE COAST ARE 28 TO 30 DEGREES CELSIUS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. BASED ON PERSISTENT CONVECTION, VERY FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW, AND WARM SSTS OFF THE COAST OF MOZAMBIQUE, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS MEDIUM.
