If it moves offshore north of Learmonth, it will track out over warm water and would very likely develop. South of Learmonth, we have cooler waters which would inhibit development.

Late January this year. There was a Tropical Low that was over land in western Northern Territory >> Australia and it stayed in the same position in a week. All the models expected for it to weaken and move west but it just stayed there and got deeper and deeper. If i recall the lowest pressure for this Tropical Low was 987hpa :eek: and had winds around close to the centre in the mid range Catergory 1 Cyclone if you use the Australian Model. By the end of it's life it looked more like a weakening Catergory 3 storm you can even see it's eye. I don't know but this particular system was intrigueing to say the least. I would like to further research this system.

With this system around the Western Australia and Northern Territory looks like it's gonna move west for the next few days. I don't know what influences it's gonna have later in it's life it might interact with Ex-Floyd's remains and eventually be sheared to the SE.

AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 15.1S 127.3E,
APPROXIMATELY 55 NM WEST-NORTHWEST OF WYNDHAM, AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED
ENHANCED INFRARED IMAGERY DEPICTS A SYMMETRIC FLARE OF DEEP CONVEC-
TION JUST INLAND OVER A PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER.
SYNOPTIC AND RADAR OBSERVATIONS BETWEEN 242100Z AND 250000Z VERIFY
AN INLAND CIRCULATION LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 60 NM FROM THE COAST.
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS THE DISTURBANCE IS SUPERPOSED BY A RIDGE
AXIS AND REMAINS IN A LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATES HAVE INCREASED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS,
AND THE CIRCULATION HAS SLOWLY TRACKED WESTWARD. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1000 MB. SINCE THE LLCC IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN JUST INLAND, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIG-
NIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS POOR.
