DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Monday  : low
Tuesday  : moderate
Wednesday  : high
REMARKS - The low is experiencing unfavourable upper winds that are likely to be maintained for at least the next 24 to 36 hours, and hence it is not likely to develop in that period. The most likely movement of the low is towards the south, and the potential for this system to impact upon the Cocos Islands will be closely monitored. RaNdOm26 06:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

An area of persistent convection near 9.7ºS 70.4ºE or 190 nm southwest of Diego Garcia. Imagery shows convection flaring near the center of a developing low level circulation center. The disturbance is within low vertical wind shear and favorable upper level diffluence.

Sustained winds near the center was 20 to 25 knots with an estimated center pressure of 1004 mb.

Potential of disturbance to develop into a significant tropical cyclone is poor.
