Here we go again.

Don't forget to get some cash out (smallish notes) as the ATMs and EFPOS will fail in a blackout and you won't be able to buy anything even though it there

Good luck all, see you out there

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 1
Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 11:00 am CST [11:30 am EST] Saturday 16 January 2010
A Cyclone WATCH has been declared for a developing tropical low for coastal
The low may develop into a tropical cyclone in the next 36 to 48 hours.

There is the possibility of a Tropical Cyclone developing but GALES are not
expected in coastal areas within the next 24 hours, however gales could develop later.


May not come to much, but one of the models has it developing to a 1 or 2, and predicted to turn towards Cape York, and cross it in the Weipa - Lockhart River area.

Couple of other interesting lows building out in the Coral Sea too........

Grrrr. I misread that as Cylon Season...

Coral Sea low threatens to form cyclone, hit Cairns

Cairns is bracing for flooding and damaging winds, with a possible cyclone on the way from a developing low pressure system in the Coral Sea. Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Terry Erbs said a monsoonal low had formed in the Gulf of Carpentaria before crossing Cape York and was moving south-east as a "dynamic system" into the Coral Sea. "The low is disorganised," said Mr Erbs. "But there is a one in three chance of it developing into a cyclone as it hits the ocean. Either way there will be heavy rain and a potential for flooding."

Default Re: Cyclone Season......CAIRNS/FNQ - TC NEVILLE

This is a really unpredictable one, deepened very quickly over night before becoming a cyclone early this morning. Gave me a hectic night anyway

Predicted track may now take it south parallel to the coast, but because it developed so fast its predicted track is still pretty uncertain. I'd say anyone from Townsville north would be advised to keep an eye on it.

TC Advice 2, 8.01am:
TROPICAL CYCLONE Neville, CATEGORY 1, is expected to remain near stationary off the far north Queensland coast over the next 24 hours as it slowly intensifies.
GALES with damaging gusts to 95 km/hr may develop on the coast between Cape Melville and Cooktown during the next 24 hours.

Default Re: Cyclone Season......TC Magda - WA

Meanwhile WA finally got TC Magda, who was also named last night,

A Cyclone WARNING continues for coastal areas from Kalumburu to Cockatoo Island.
A Cyclone WATCH continues for coastal areas from Wyndham to Kalumburu and
Cockatoo Island to Beagle Bay
There is a significant risk that by Friday Magda will have intensified into a
Severe Tropical Cyclone and be located close to the Kimberley coast. Hence there is the risk of very destructive winds between Kalumburu and Cape Leveque on Friday

Magda is still building in intensity and may track inland a fair way

NEVILLE is not a very good name for a TC, maybe we should call the next one Pollyana (when P come around again)

I wish! We were in fits in the office this morning cos we share exactly the same opinion - Neville just sounds wrong! Apologies to any Nevilles out there, but its just not a cyclonic image!! After two in one night I am expecting to get at least one more tonight to complete the set.....Olga, Paul, Robyn and Sean are the next ones!

Default Re: Cyclone Season......CAIRNS/FNQ - TC NEVILLE

The cyclone formed so quickly overnight, when yesterday they said only really a 5 to 20% chance of the low developing into a cyclone.
So might be worth being a bit worried about this one and keeping a good eye on it.
