Using shear pattern, low level centre was about 1.25 degrees from edge of cloud on visible imagery. DT was 2.0. Could also get 0.2 to 0.3 curved band wrap. At 1200 UTC. Curved band wrap of 0.3 gives a DT of 2.0. Trend was D with MET/PAT of 2.0. FT/CI was 2.0. Cocos Island Airport at 1200 UTC reported mean winds of 24 knots [10 minute average]. Intensity set to 30 knots. At 1800 UTC. Curved band wrap of 0.3/0.4 gives a DT of 2.0 to 2.5. Trend was D with MET/PAT of 2.0. FT/CI was 2.0. Cocos Island Airport at 1800 UTC reported mean winds of 21 knots [10 minute average]. Intensity set to 30 knots 09U has continued a general southwest track, being steered by a mid level ridge to the southeast. Model guidance is in good agreement with a continued southwest track over the next 24 to 48 hours. There is a good upper divergence with good poleward outflow. CIMMS shear at 09 UTC showed strong easterly shear between 30 and 40 knots. As the system moves towards the southwest conditions become more favourable for development with the shear decreasing. Gales may develop to the south of the system before it reaches tropical cyclone intensity during Saturday. Fresh to strong winds are currently being observed at Cocos Island Airport. The risk of gales on the Cocos [Keeling] Islands continues until Saturday afternoon or evening. After this time the system is likely to intensify further but be moving far enough away from the islands. Based on the current track, the system will move into La Reunion's area of responsibility between 1200 and 1800 UTC 14 February. Copyright Commonwealth of Australia == The next bulletin for this system will be issued by: 13/0100 UTC by Perth TCWC.
