WTXS21 PGTW 970218 07:00z SUBJ/TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT 180651Z FEB 97// RMKS/ 1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 140 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 15.0S6 111.1E4 TO 19.1S1 115.2E9 WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 30 KNOTS. METSAT IMAGERY AT 180530Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR 15.8S4 112.6E0. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING EAST- SOUTHEASTWARD AT 13 KNOTS. 2. REMARKS: THE TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SOUTHWEST OF SUMATRA AND NORTH OF LEARMONTH, AUSTRALIA, HAS BEGUN TO IMPROVE IN ORGANIZATION. A CLEARLY DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION IN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY IS GETTING CLOSER TO AN AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES TROPICAL CYCLOGENESIS SEEMS LIKELY. THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS GOOD. 3.
