TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
FOR THE AREA BETWEEN LONGITUDES 125 EAST - 142 EAST
Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 2:15 pm CST Tuesday 27 February 2007

A developing TROPICAL LOW 1001 hPa is situated on the coast near Milingimbi.
At 12 noon it was near latitude 12.2S, longitude 134.8E, about 220 km west of
Nhulunbuy, and is slow moving. The LOW is expected to remain near the north
coast for the next few days but drift slowly east towards the Gulf of
Carpentaria.

If the low moves off the Arnhem coast and over water, the potential for
development into a Tropical Cyclone over the next few days is estimated to be:
Wednesday: low,
Thursday: low,
Friday: moderate.

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.

The system looks to be partially inland. It should get better organized once it gets to the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Next Darwin name is George; next Perth name is Jacob. If it moves far enough west, the next La Réunion name is Indlada.

Looking at the Australian Severe Weather Cyclones archive page, no storm (going back to 84/85) has ever been named by both Darwin and Mauritius (although 97/98's Victor-Cindy came close, but ultimately Victor was a Perth name).

The last year without a BOM-Mauritius naming change was 94/95.

This system is a Glenda-like storm, which looked very good on land, and then when it moved over water it explosively intensified. NOGAPS shows an intensifying storm coming out of the Darwin-area and making landfall in 180 hrs (7.5 days) in the westernmost area of WA. It seems it will not go west of 90ºE.

There's now a 94S just west of 92S, so maybe that's what NOGAPS picked up on?
