TROPICAL
CYCLONE FORECAST & WARNING
|
|
Tropical Cyclone Advice Number 16
Issued at 7:40 pm EST on Sunday 9 March 2014
A Cyclone WARNING remains current for coastal areas from Lucinda to St Lawrence.
A Cyclone WATCH remains current for coastal and island communities from
Innisfail to Lucinda.
At 7:00 pm EST a tropical low was estimated to be
370 kilometres east northeast of Townsville and
285 kilometres north northeast of Hamilton Island and
moving southeast at 15 kilometres per hour.
The tropical low has not shown signs of development in the past 24 hours,
however it may slowly intensify and develop into a tropical cyclone on Monday
afternoon. The system is expected to continue moving in a general south
southeasterly direction before becoming slow moving and shifting to a
northeasterly track on Monday. It is likely that the system will remain off the
coast. However there is greater than usual uncertainty regarding the track and
there is still a chance that it will move towards the coast.
GALES are expected to continue about central coast and island communities and
may extend to coastal comunities between Lucinda and St Lawrence during Monday.
Heavy rain, which may lead to flash flooding, will continue about coastal and
nearby adjacent inland areas between Bowen and St Lawrence overnight and during
Monday.
Large waves may produce minor flooding along the foreshore between Lucinda and
St Lawrence. Tides will also be higher than normal. People living in areas
likely to be affected should take measures to protect their property as much as
possible and be prepared to help their neighbours.
The next advice will be issued by 11:00 pm EST Sunday 09 March.
