TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 33
Issued at 9:25 am WST on Friday 28 January 2011
A Cyclone WATCH has been declared for coastal areas from Jurien Bay to Albany,
including Perth, Bunbury and Busselton.
At 8:00 am WST Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca, Category 3 was estimated to be
410 kilometres west southwest of Exmouth and
400 kilometres west northwest of Carnarvon and
moving southwest at 33 kilometres per hour.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca continues to move in a southwest direction away
from the northwest of the state. Strong and gusty winds are still possible in
areas between Cape Preston and Carnarvon though winds will ease from the east
during the day.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca is expected to gradually weaken as it takes a
more southerly track overnight. On Saturday Bianca will move in a southeasterly
direction towards the southwest corner of the state while weakening steadily.
However there is a significant risk that Bianca will maintain tropical cyclone
intensity as it approaches the coast early on Sunday. If this scenario
eventuates, coastal areas between Jurien Bay and Albany could experience
DAMAGING WINDS with gusts to 120 kilometres per hour.
On Sunday tides between Jurien Bay and Cape Naturaliste are likely to rise
signficantly above the normal high tide mark with VERY ROUGH SEAS, DANGEROUS
SURF and FLOODING of LOW LYING COASTAL AREAS. SIGNIFICANT COASTAL EROSION is
possible. Heavy rainfall is also possible on the southern side of the system.
FLASH FLOODING is possible but extensive flooding is not expected.
SEVERE to EXTREME FIRE DANGERS are likely across a broad area south of a line
from Geraldton to Esperance on Sunday.
FESA State Emergency Service (SES) advises of the following community alerts:
ALL CLEAR WITH CAUTION: People in or near Exmouth and Coral Bay are advised
that wind dangers have passed and people should proceed with caution.
People in the southwest of the state should listen for further advice during
today.
Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca at 8:00 am WST:
.Centre located near...... 23.0 degrees South 110.3 degrees East
.Location accuracy........ within 35 kilometres
.Recent movement.......... towards the southwest at 33 kilometres per hour
.Wind gusts near centre... 220 kilometres per hour
.Severity category........ 3

Re: SIO: SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE BIANCA (10S)
Very impressive microwave! The predictions of a very active Australian season are verifying, it's intresting to see how this basin has been so active and the Southwest Indian so inactive.

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 34
Issued at 12:14 pm WST on Friday 28 January 2011
CYCLONE BIANCA EXPECTED TO IMPACT COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTH WEST OF WESTERN
AUSTRALIA ON SUNDAY
Bianca will weaken significantly before it reaches the South West but residents
should prepare for:
. DAMAGING WINDS with gusts to 120 kilometres per hour.
. VERY ROUGH SEAS and DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS
. COASTAL EROSION and FLOODING OF LOW LYING COASTAL AREAS
. SEVERE to EXTREME FIRE DANGERS
. HEAVY RAINFALL south of the cyclone with possible LOCALISED FLOODING.
A Cyclone WATCH has been declared for coastal areas from Jurien Bay to Albany,
including Perth, Bunbury and Busselton.
At 11:00 am WST Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca, Category 3 was estimated to be
510 kilometres west southwest of Exmouth and
465 kilometres west northwest of Carnarvon and
moving southwest at 33 kilometres per hour.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca continues to move in a southwest direction away
from the northwest of the state. Strong and gusty winds are still possible in

However there is a significant risk that Bianca will maintain tropical cyclone
intensity as it approaches the coast early on Sunday. If this happens, coastal
areas between Jurien Bay and Albany could experience DAMAGING WINDS with gusts
to 120 kilometres per hour. Wind gusts to 100 kilometres per hour may be
experienced through inland parts southwest of a line Jurien Bay to Albany.
On Sunday tides between Jurien Bay and Cape Naturaliste are likely to rise
significantly above the normal high tide mark with VERY ROUGH SEAS, DANGEROUS
SURF and FLOODING of LOW LYING COASTAL AREAS. SIGNIFICANT COASTAL EROSION is
possible. HEAVY RAINFALL is also possible on the southern side of the system.
LOCALISED FLOODING is possible but extensive flooding is not expected.
VERY HIGH to SEVERE FIRE DANGERS are likely near the west coast on Sunday.
EXTREME to CATASTROPHIC FIRE DANGERS are likely across inland areas south of a
line from Geraldton to Leonora to Israelite Bay on Sunday.
FESA State Emergency Service (SES) advises that people should start planning
for bad weather and listen for further advice during today.
Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca at 11:00 am WST:
.Centre located near...... 23.3 degrees South 109.4 degrees East
.Location accuracy........ within 35 kilometres
.Recent movement.......... towards the southwest at 33 kilometres per hour
.Wind gusts near centre... 220 kilometres per hour

Final intensity is held at 10-min 85 knots.
The system is likely to maintain intensity or weaken only slightly over the next
12 hours before cooler SSTs and increasing shear leads to rapid weakening as it
approaches the SW coast.
There is significant uncertainty regarding the intensity of the system as it
impacts the coast with many models indicating the system will fall apart just
off the coast as the strong southeasterlies from the new high push in and
markedly increase the shear. However a number of runs have indicated the system
may reach the coast with gale force winds and other associated impacts.

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 36
Issued at 5:43 pm WST on Friday 28 January 2011
CYCLONE BIANCA EXPECTED TO IMPACT COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTH WEST OF WESTERN
AUSTRALIA ON SUNDAY
Bianca will weaken significantly before it reaches the South West. However
there is a significant risk that it will retain cyclone intensity so people
should prepare for:
. DAMAGING WINDS with gusts to 120 kilometres per hour
. VERY ROUGH SEAS and DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS
. COASTAL EROSION and FLOODING OF LOW LYING COASTAL AREAS
. SEVERE to CATASTROPHIC FIRE DANGERS
. HEAVY RAINFALL south of the cyclone with possible LOCALISED FLOODING.
A Cyclone WATCH is current for coastal areas from Jurien Bay to Albany,
including Perth, Mandurah, Bunbury and Busselton.
At 5:00 pm WST Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca, Category 4 was estimated to be
545 kilometres west of Carnarvon and
1110 kilometres northwest of Perth and
moving southwest at 30 kilometres per hour.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca continues to move in a southwest direction away
from the northwest of the state.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca is expected to gradually weaken as it takes a
more southerly track overnight. On Saturday Bianca will move in a southeasterly
direction towards the southwest corner of the state while weakening steadily.
However there is a significant risk that Bianca will maintain tropical cyclone
intensity as it approaches the coast early on Sunday. If this happens, coastal
areas between Jurien Bay and Albany could experience DAMAGING WINDS with gusts
to 120 kilometres per hour. Wind gusts to 100 kilometres per hour may be
experienced through inland parts southwest of a line Jurien Bay to Albany.
On Sunday tides between Jurien Bay and Cape Naturaliste are likely to rise
significantly above the normal high tide mark with VERY ROUGH SEAS, DANGEROUS
SURF and FLOODING of LOW LYING COASTAL AREAS. SIGNIFICANT COASTAL EROSION is
possible. HEAVY RAINFALL is also possible on the southern side of the system.
LOCALISED FLOODING is possible but extensive flooding is not expected.
VERY HIGH to SEVERE FIRE DANGERS are likely near the west coast on Sunday.
EXTREME to CATASTROPHIC FIRE DANGERS are likely across inland areas south of a
line from Geraldton to Leonora to Israelite Bay on Sunday.
FESA State Emergency Service (SES) advises that people should start planning
for bad weather and listen for further advice.
