SOUTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN - System 98P Organizing Quickly

From NASA's Hurricane Web Page:




SOUTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN - System 98P Organizing Quickly 

System 98P is coming together quickly in the Southern Pacific. It appears that it will soon be named Tropical Depression 7P. NOAA's GOES-West satellite captured this image of the developing storm today. 
Animated enhanced infrared satellite imagery shows formative bands of thunderstorms have slightly deepened (strengthened) and wrapped tighter into a better-defined low level circulation center.
System 98P was centered near 12.5 south latitude and 164.1 west longitude, about 394 miles east-northeast of Pago Pago, American Samoa. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center gives this system a high chance to develop into a depression in the next 24 hours
