Invest 98C is Probably an STS

Invest 98C located near 21.5N 179.3E at 19/05Z has been moving to the south southwest over the past 12 hours. System shows a tight circulation with an eye present from time to time and is probably a Subtropical Storm. SST is about 26C. Although the system is designated as 98C by NRL (because it originated east of 180 degrees), I can find no text references to the Invest by either CPHC or JTWC.
