Possibility Of This Low Becoming A Cyclone?

[Things]

Some of you Aussies may have seen that low out in the coral sea. Just having a low on the charts now, BoM are predicting it to drop down to around 997hPa on Saturday, while slowly (Very slowly) moving towards the coast. The sea temps are nice and toasty, and I'm wondering whether to bother putting my pool cover back up.

Any predictions?

Cheers,

Development is possible, I've been disscussing this low in the Southern Hemisphere Invest thread- there is currently not much going on with the system, and as there is a lack of a well defined LLC as yet, development will be slow. Shear isn't too bad in the area, but if the low dips south at all it will probably be torn apart by shear. The system is also a long way out from the coast of Australia, if it gets deep enough it may head westwards but if it remains shallow it probably won't make it.
