At 9:00 p.m. EST on Thursday the center of Tropical Cyclone Bansi was located at latitude 19.0\u00b0S and longitude 64.1\u00b0E which put it about 385 miles east-northeast of Port Louis, Mauritius.\u00a0 Bansi was moving toward the east-southeast at 12 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 130 m.p.h. and it was estimated there were wind gusts to 160 m.p.h..\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was estimated to be 937 mb.<\/p>\n
Bansi was in an environment of low vertical wind shear and warm Sea Surface Temperatures for much of Thursday and intensified slightly.\u00a0 The speed of the upper level winds is increasing and the cloud pattern is showing signs of more wind shear.\u00a0 A subtropical high pressure system is likely to move Bansi toward the southeast at a faster speed.\u00a0 Bansi is likely to continue to move toward higher latitudes which will move it over colder water.\u00a0 The speed of the upper level winds will also increase and so Bansi should weaken during the next few days.<\/p>\n
