Animated multispectral satellite imagery (msi) depicts further consolidation of a fairly tight low-level circulation center with associated persistent deep convection. A 022257z trmm microwave image continues to depict formative banding located on the northern periphery of the system and more well defined deep convection all along the northwest to southeast half of the system. The initial position is set with fair confidence and based on the microwave image. The initial intensity is assessed at 35 knots based on the level of consolidation the system has exhibited in the past 6 hours. Upper-level analysis indicates a favorable environment with low vertical wind shear and good outflow. Ts 19w is tracking along the southern periphery of deep subtropical ridge (str).
