    REMARKS:
    The low level centre remains well exposed from the CDO, and as a result the position accuracy is good. An ASCAT pass from 1529UTC showed gales are present within about 80nm of the system centre in the northern semicircle, with maximum winds of 40 knots. Winds in the southern semicircle are 25 knots or less.

    Tropical low 10U continues to show a weakening trend over the last 6 hours with deep convection remaining displaced well to the northwest of the low level centre. A time averaged shear pattern yields a DT of 1.5-2.0. Dvorak assessment based on MET and PAT gives an FT of 1.5. CI was held at 2.0 during weakening.

    10U is in an area of moderate to strong vertical wind shear on the northern side
    of the upper ridge, under a divergent easterly flow of around 25kt at 200hPa. The middle level circulation is weak, and displaced well to the west of the low level circulation. As a result, the system will likely take some time to re-consolidate into a deep circulation [if it does at all], and the forecast for development into a tropical cyclone has been delayed until Sunday.

    A trough at 700hPa over the southern Indian Ocean appears to be guiding this system in a south southeasterly direction over the next 48 hours. As the system moves into an area of lower shear, the vertical alignment should improve, and from Sunday it is forecast to move southerly under the influence of a mid level ridge developing to the east of the system. On Monday a mid level trough passes to the south of the system, and in some of the guidance this results in an easterly movement, whereas other guidance has it slow moving. From Tuesday a mid
    level ridge should develop to the south of the system, pushing it towards the west.

    If the system does manage to regain its vertical structure as it moves south, then the environment will be marginally favourable for development from Sunday, with decreased wind shear, sufficiently warm SSTs, and potential poleward outflow from an upper trough to the south.
