Position is based on animated Vis satellite imagery, with high confidence. Satellite presentation has continued to degrade, with little deep convection near the system. A partial ASCAT pass at 2222 UTC sampled gales in the northwestern quadrants, with a maximum around 36 knots. Intensity is assessed at 35 knots. Dvorak analysis: little deep convection near the system, DT of 1.0 based on a curved band pattern with a 0.1 wrap to the northeast, this is generous. MET is 2.5 based on a weakening plus trend, with PAT reduced to 2.0. FT of 2.0 based on MET, and CI held above at 2.5. Latest objective guidance at 2300 UTC includes ADT 29 knots, AiDT 33 knots, DPRINT 29 knots, DMINT 31 knots (1936 UTC), and SATCON 46 knots (2200UTC). The environment is unfavourable for any renewed development, with low to moderate easterly shear continuing and local SST cooling beneath the system due to its prolonged slow motion. Interaction with southeastern Papua New Guinea this weekend is also expected to contribute to further weakening. Maila is expected to adopt a more definite west-southwest track later today 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, it is likely Maila will weaken below tropical cyclone intensity before reaching the Coral Sea.
