@muifainday2022typhoon: Invest 96W (Chan-hom) is currently located in the western Pacific Ocean. The system has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours. Maximum sustained surface winds are around 50–60 km/h (27–32 knots). Minimum sea-level pressure is estimated to be near 1000 hPa. Satellite imagery shows a broad, still developing low-level circulation, embedded within an expansive region of troughing. Analysis shows favorable conditions for development with low wind shear (10–15 knots), warm sea surface temperatures (29 to 30°C), and strong poleward upper-level outflow. Forecast models show the circulation moving under an upper-level trough and into a drier environment, which will hinder its potential development into a tropical cyclone and cause it to become subtropical after 36 hours. Forecast models show the steady development of 96W into a broad, possible short term tropical cyclone within the next 36 to 48 hours hours.
