Default Including Perth - Tropical Cyclone Olwyn - WA

Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Western Region
Issued at 2:00 pm WST on Sunday 8 March 2015

for the period until midnight WST Wednesday 11 March 2015.

Existing Cyclones in the Western Region: Nil.

Potential Cyclones:
There are no significant lows in the Western Region at present. A tropical low
is expected to form south of Indonesia later today or Monday. There is only a
small chance of this system developing into a tropical cyclone on Tuesday. The likelihood increases on Wednesday. There is likely to be a cyclone off the
coast of Western Australia by the end of the week. People are urged to continue to monitor outlooks and forecasts as the system develops.

Likelihood of a tropical cyclone in the Western Region on:
Monday Very Low
Tuesday Low
Wednesday Moderate

===========================================

The modelling for this system is pretty much in agreement that it will move down the coast of WA.

There is a good potential for a low and cyclone to develop in the eastern Indian ocean next week, models this morning have started to ramp this system up and although it may be small has the potential to become a severe cyclone (at least category 3 status).
The low/cyclone will develop out to sea but models are indicating it will get pulled either south or south east closer to the WA coast line by next weekend thanks to a trough system, this means there is some possibility it may near the western Pilbara or Gascoyne coasts definitely one to watch! These small systems are the ones we really have to keep an eye on cos can explode out of no where (Like Marcia) and this system has the potential to do this which may catch some people by surprise.
There is also a possibility that it could bring very strong winds and heavy rainfall as far down the coast as Perth or even further south.

Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Western Region
Issued at 1:49 pm WST on Monday 9 March 2015
for the period until midnight WST Thursday 12 March 2015.

Existing Cyclones in the Western Region:

Nil.

Potential Cyclones:



A tropical low is forming south of Indonesia. There is only a small chance of
this low developing into a tropical cyclone on Tuesday. However conditions
become very favourable from Wednesday onwards and it is likely that a tropical
cyclone will have formed by late Wednesday or during Thursday. This system is
likely to pose a threat to coastal communities later in the week or over the
weekend. People are urged to continue to monitor outlooks and forecasts as the
system develops.

Likelihood of a tropical cyclone in the Western Region on:
Tuesday Low
Wednesday High
Thursday High

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 1
Issued at 12:57 pm WST on Tuesday 10 March 2015
Headline:
Tropical cyclone impact possible for the west Pilbara coast on Thursday.

Areas Affected:
Warning Zone
None.

Watch Zone
Port Hedland to Ningaloo, including Karratha, Onslow and Exmouth.

Cancelled Zone
None.

Details of Tropical Low at 11:00 am WST:
Intensity: Tropical Low, sustained winds near the centre of 45 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 85 kilometres per hour.

Location: within 110 kilometres of 14.0 degrees South 115.6 degrees East, estimated to be 760 kilometres north of Karratha and 900 kilometres north of Exmouth.

Movement: near stationary.

There is a high level of uncertainty associated with this tropical low. The most likely scenario is for the low to tracks towards the west Pilbara coast and develop into a tropical cyclone late Wednesday or on Thursday. It is not expected to cause gales in coastal areas on Tuesday or Wednesday but gales may commence on Thursday afternoon or evening. If the system tracks more slowly towards the coast then a later impact from a more intense cyclone is likely.

Hazards:
Gales with gusts to 100 kilometres per hour are not expected on Tuesday or Wednesday but may develop between Karratha and Exmouth on Thursday afternoon. If the system tracks a little more to the east then gales may develop as far east as Port Hedland.

Heavy rainfall is likely to develop over the western Pilbara and northern Gascoyne districts as the system approaches and may lead to flooding. Please refer to the latest Flood Watches and Warnings for more details Western Australia Warnings Summary.

Recommended Action:
DFES-State Emergency Service advises that there are no community alerts at present.

Communities between Port Hedland and Ningaloo should listen for the next advice.

Next Advice:
The next advice will be issued by 3:00 pm WST Tuesday 10 March.

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 17


Issued at 6:00 pm WST on Thursday 12 March 2015
Headline:

Severe Tropical Cyclone Olwyn upgraded to category 3 as it rapidly approaches the west Pilbara coast.
Areas Affected:
Warning Zone

Roebourne to Geraldton, including Karratha, Barrow Island, Onslow, Exmouth, Coral Bay, Carnarvon, Denham, Kalbarri and adjacent inland parts of the western Pilbara, western Gascoyne and western Central West Districts.
Watch Zone

Geraldton to Jurien Bay and extending inland to Paynes Find.

Cancelled Zone

The Cyclone WARNING from Whim Creek to Roebourne has been cancelled.
Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Olwyn at 5:00 pm WST:

Intensity: Category 3, sustained winds near the centre of 120 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 165 kilometres per hour.

Location: within 45 kilometres of 20.6 degrees South 114.6 degrees East, estimated to be 125 kilometres north northwest of Onslow and 155 kilometres north northeast of Exmouth.

Movement: south southwest at 25 kilometres per hour.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Olwyn has intensified to category 3 as it rapidly approaches the west Pilbara coast. The cyclone centre will be in the vicinity of Exmouth later tonight and then continue to move generally southwards.

It is still possible that Olwyn may track over water to the west of Exmouth and retain cyclone intensity for longer. In that scenario communities along the Gascoyne coast will experience much stronger winds than if it tracks just inland from the coast. Regardless of whether it is over water or land, as it moves southwards it is expected to take heavy rain and squally winds into southern parts of Western Australia.
Hazards:

Gales with gusts to 110 kilometres per hour are currently being experienced along the western Pilbara coast. DESTRUCTIVE wind gusts are being experienced at Barrow Island and DESTRUCTIVE wind gusts to 165 kilometres are expected to develop along the western Pilbara coast including Onslow and Exmouth during Thursday evening and may extend inland to Nanutarra.

Late Thursday evening or early Friday morning VERY DESTRUCTIVE winds with gusts exceeding 165 kilometres per hour are expected to develop near the west Pilbara coast, most likely between Onslow and Exmouth, as the cyclone approaches the coast. VERY DESTRUCTIVE winds may extend to Coral Bay early Friday morning. DESTRUCTIVE winds with gusts in excess of 125 kilometres per hour may extend to Cape Cuvier and Carnarvon during Friday morning.

Residents between Mardie and Exmouth are specifically warned of the potential of a VERY DANGEROUS STORM TIDE as the cyclone centre crosses the coast. Tides are likely to rise significantly above the normal high tide mark with DAMAGING WAVES and VERY DANGEROUS FLOODING.

Heavy rainfall is likely to develop over the western Pilbara and northern Gascoyne during Thursday and continue into Friday. Heavy rainfall will extend further southwards on Saturday. Please refer to the latest Severe Weather Warnings and Flood Watches and Warnings for more details: Western Australia Warnings Summary.
Recommended Action:

DFES advises of the following community alerts:

RED ALERT: People in coastal communities from Mardie to Onslow including Onslow (excluding Pannawonica).

YELLOW ALERT: People in coastal communities from Onslow to Overlander Roadhouse, including Exmouth, Coral Bay, Cape Cuvier, Carnarvon, Wooramel and Denham. People need to take action and get ready to shelter from a cyclone.

BLUE ALERT: People in coastal communities between Roebourne to Mardie, including Point Samson, Wickham, Roebourne, Dampier, Pannawonica and from Overlander Roadhouse to Kalbarri including Billabong Roadhouse. People need to prepare for cyclonic weather and organise an emergency kit including first aid kit, torch, portable radio, spare batteries, food and water.
