Winds over the northern semicircle of the low are expected to increase to gale force on Mon. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for further tropical development of this low, and there is currently a high probability that this low will develop into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. Please see the latest NHC tropical weather outlook under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATWOEP/ABPZ20 KNHC or www.hurricanes.gov for more details. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 107W from 04N to 17N, with low pres of 1008 mb along the wave near 12N107W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 10N to 17N between 100W and 110W. The axis of a tropical wave is near 126W from 04N to 17N, moving W at 15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 12N to 18N between 123W and 130W. The axis of a tropical wave is near 137W from 04N to 17N, moving W at 15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 07N to 11N between 130W and 140W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 08N78W to 07N93W to a 1008 mb low pressure near 12N107W to 08N115W to 10N127W to 08N135W to 09N140W.
