IN THIS ACTIVE PHASIS OF MJO, CONVECTION IS ENHANCED BY A VERY GOOD UPPER LEVEL POLEWARDS OUTFLOW, RATHER GOOD EQUATORIAL OUTFLOW. NEVERTHELESS, IT REMAINS RATHER WARM, AND LOW LEVEL PRESSURE IS STILL RATHER HIGH IN THIS MIDSEASON. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS WEAK. THE SYSTEM COULD INTENSIFY LIGHTLY AS IT CURVE NORTHWESTWARDS, EDGING A RAPID POLEWARDS OUTFLOW (JETSTREAM).
