Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 2:15 pm CST Monday 25 February 2008
A TROPICAL LOW [1002 hPa] is located southwest of Katherine near the base of the
Top End. At 12.30pm it was near 14.5S 132E, moving slowly west. The LOW is
expected to drift west-northwest over the next few days and could move over the
Joseph Bonaparte Gulf by mid-week where it may deepen further.
The potential for development into a Tropical Cyclone over the next
few days is estimated to be:
Tuesday: low,
Wednesday: low,
Thursday: moderate.
A second, weak TROPICAL LOW [1005 hPa] is located near Mornington Island in the
southern Gulf of Carpentaria. It is expected that this low will move southward
and be over land before any significant intensification occurs.
NOTE: Development Potential is an estimate of the probability of tropical
cyclone development for each day... Low = 10% or less, Moderate = 20% - 40%,
High = 50% or more.
