TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK FOR NORTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA

Issued at 1:08pm WST on Monday the 3rd of April 2006

For the area between LONGITUDES 110 - 129 EAST

A tropical low, 1002hPa, was located at noon WST Monday near 14.5S 115.0E and an

active monsoon trough extends east to 12S 129E. The low is likely to be in an

increasingly favourable environment for further development on Wednesday and

Thursday. The low is expected to be slow moving in the next two days and then

its most likely movement is towards the south southwest.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

Tuesday: low

Wednesday: high

Thursday: high

** NOTE: Development potential is an estimate of the probability of **

** tropical cyclone development within a 24 hour period. **

** LOW = 10% or less MODERATE = 20-40% HIGH = 50% or more **

TEchnically speaking, they're just invests at the moment - not even classified as tropical depressions yet.

We'll see what they do.

Yep, JTWC now has a TCFA out now for the 93S. That area of ocean has produced a couple of powerful cyclone over the last few weeks...could this be the next?

yup mate 93s looks well formed almost looks like a mirror image ATM IMO if they colide then storm of all this season for WA looks like the last major storm for aus carnt see any more but 94s is still looking good for further development

[thepokergod]

Yeah, it's looking pretty impressive already. Coming to the tail end of the S Hemisphere season now. Waiting for the NW Pacific to kick start, been very quiet so far this year. I think the next 6 weeks will see activity really increase. NW Pacific typhoons are my favourite but it's a shame they get less media coverage!
