REMARKS:
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Bianca (21U) continues to weaken over the ocean. Ex-TC Bianca has been located using animated EIR satellite imagery moderate confidence. Dvorak analysis: DT no longer applicable as all deep convection is now well removed from the centre. The recent trend is W+ which gives a MET of 2.0, with PAT at 1.5. FT=2.0. CI set at 1.5 during weakening. Objective intensity estimates (all 1-minute means and at 1730 UTC unless otherwise stated) include ADT 31 knots, AiDT 37 knots, DPRINT 25 knots, DMINT 22 knots (1140UTC), SATCON 39 knots. Intensity set at 35 knots. Ex-TC Bianca is weakening quickly under the influence of strong vertical wind shear, and the low level centre is now well separated from the deep convection. Gales have become confined to the southwest quadrant, and as a result the system is no longer classified as a tropical cyclone by the Australian definition. Winds will ease below gale force by 0000 UTC February 27. As ex-TC Bianca has weakened, it has lost the steering influence of the approaching mid-level trough. It will move towards the west northwest under the influence of a lower level ridge, before dissipating later today (Thursday).
