Tropical Cyclone Three Day Outlook for the Coral Sea
Issued at 2:33 pm EST on Thursday 6 March 2014
for the period until midnight EST Sunday 9 March 2014.

Existing Cyclones in the Eastern Region:

Nil.

Potential Cyclones:

At 1pm a weak tropical low was located approximately 1,115 kilometres east
northeast of Cairns, moving south southwest at 30 kilometres per hour. The low
is expected to strengthen as it moves slowly to the southwest over the next few
days, and may approach Queensland's northeast coast during the weekend.

Likelihood of a tropical cyclone in the Eastern Region on:
Friday Moderate
Saturday High
Sunday High

NOTES: The likelihood is an estimate of the chance of each system being a
tropical cyclone in the Region for each day.
Very Low: less than 5% Moderate: 20 to 50%
Low: 5% to 20% High: over 50%

The area of coverage for this outlook is the Coral Sea and northern Tasman Sea
west of 160E.

http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/forecasts/cyclone.shtml

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

70%+ chance of becoming a cyclone in the next week

May cross the coast though that currently seems unlikely. What is more probable is that it will track south offshore bringing very heavy rain and cyclonic winds down the coast at least as far as the Whitsundays.
Looks like being a Cat 1-2 but conditions are good so it may become a Cat 3.

Rainfall in the range of 100-200 in 24 hours likely on the coast to the south of the system, but if it moves in really close to the coast then this could increase to up to 400mm in 24 hours. Rain likely to move in Saturday, increasing Sunnday/Monday.
