   A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY:
      (1) AT 010600Z7, TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06S (DARIUS) WAS LOCATED
NEAR 16.9S6 58.8E1, APPROXIMATELY 220 NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF MAURITIUS,
AND WAS TRACKING SOUTHWESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.

NEAR 16.4S1 123.1E7, JUST OFF THE WEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA. RECENT MICROWAVE
AND ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS THAT THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER HAS MOVED OVER WATER. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES
FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE AND WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 35 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED AT 998 MB.
SEE REF B (WTXS22 PGTW 011500 COR) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS
UPGRADED TO GOOD.
