Position is based on animated EIR satellite imagery, with moderate confidence given the slow motion and recent microwave imagery. Satellite presentation has continued to degrade, with no deep convection near the system. A partial ASCAT pass at 1117 UTC sampled gales extending more than halfway around the circulation, with a maximum around 40 knots. Intensity is assessed at 40 knots. Dvorak analysis: no deep convection near the system, no DT. MET is 3.0 based on a weakening plus trend, with PAT reduced to 2.5. FT constrained to 2.0, and CI dropped to 2.5. Latest objective guidance at 1730 UTC includes ADT 41 knots, AiDT 42 knots, DPRINT 32 knots, DMINT 30 knots (1542 UTC), and SATCON 47 knots (1600UTC). The environment remains unfavourable, with around 20 knots of easterly shear continuing and local SST cooling beneath the system due to its prolonged slow motion. Interaction with southeastern Papua New Guinea over the weekend is also expected to contribute to further weakening. Maila is expected to adopt a more definite west-southwest track on Sunday as the western ridge strengthens. Guidance still shows some spread, including weaker solutions that leave the system in the Solomon Sea. The favoured track scenario takes Maila close to southeastern Papua New Guinea, then into the Coral Sea and towards Cape York Peninsula. However, guidance has continued to trend weaker, and weakening below tropical cyclone intensity before reaching the Coral Sea is becoming increasingly likely.
