IDQ20066 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Queensland Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN For 0500 EST on Friday the 24th of March 2006 At 5am EST Thursday, Severe Tropical Cyclone Wati, Category 3, with central pressure 950 hPa, was located over the central Coral Sea near latitude 20.3 south, longitude 157.1 east, which is about 630 km northeast of Sandy Cape on Fraser Island. Wati has recently been moving to the south southeast at about 14 kilometres per hour. Severe Tropical Cyclone Wati is expected to maintain a southeastward track, which is roughly parallel to the Queensland coast, with only slight, if any weakening in the short term. The combination of the cyclone and a large high in the Tasman Sea is expected to produce gales and large seas off the Capricornia and southern Queensland coasts over the next few days. The next bulletin will be issued by 11 am Friday.

IDQ20066 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Queensland Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN For 0500 EST on Thursday the 23rd of March 2006 At 5am EST Thursday, Severe Tropical Cyclone Wati, category 3, with central pressure 955 hPa, was located over the central Coral Sea near latitude 18.0 south, longitude 154.0 east, which is about 750 km north of Fraser Island. The cyclone has recently remained almost stationary. Severe Tropical Cyclone Wati should now begin a southward track which will be roughly parallel to the Queensland coast The combination of the cyclone and a large high in the Tasman Sea is expected to produce gales and large seas off the southern and Central Coasts. The next bulletin will be issued by 11am Thursday.

IDQ20066 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Queensland Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN For 11pm EST on Wednesday the 22nd of March 2006 At 11pm EST Wednesday, Severe Tropical Cyclone Wati, category 3, with central pressure 955 hPa, was located over the central Coral Sea near latitude 18.0 south, longitude 153.9 east, which is about 610 km northeast of Mackay. The cyclone has recently remained almost stationary. Severe Tropical Cyclone Wati should remain near stationary over the next 12 hours while maintaining its intensity, and is subsequently most likely to adopt a general southerly track over the following few days, in response to an upper trough approaching from the west, and a building mid-level ridge to the east of the cyclone. Although this is the most likely scenario, there remain some subtleties in the surrounding flow, and there is a small chance the cyclone may remain slow-moving, and edge slightly closer to the central Qld coast. The combination of the cyclone and a large high in the Tasman Sea is expected to produce strong winds and large seas off the coast between Bowen and Fraser Island. The next bulletin will be issued by 5am Thursday.

Tropical Cyclone Wati is moving towards the west-northwest at 10 km per hour and should gradually intensify over the next 24 hours. Wati is expected to remain slow moving in offshore waters for the rest of the week. The combination of this system and a 1028 hPa high in the Tasman Sea is expected to produce strong to gale force winds off the coast between Bowen and Fraser Island. Large seas will develop along open waters of the southern and central coasts. The next bulletin will be issued at 11am Wednesday.

looking at this sat image looks like its starting to get an eyewall only slight but somethig to look out for thanks for the link again MTC

certainly a shame for all those people in the path of larry it was one strong storm someting like 2 meter storm surges in parts can you say where the worst hit was?

you can clearly see wati and the leftovers of larry but further west is that another system winding up? i marked it with a question mark

Tropical Storm 18P/wati http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-tim...rm/storm27.html looks impressive on a full disk image http://www.bom.gov.au/difacs/IDX1374.gif?20060319200337

its definatly been a good day for watching larry grow ive been at the pc now for about 6 hours tracking this storm looks like there will be another system out to the east right behind larry but will the air be unstable for another TS to form? although it does seem to have alot of rotation ATM larry is certainly impressive
