South Pacific Ocean: Invest 96P
TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
FOR THE AREA BETWEEN LONGITUDES 125 EAST - 142 EAST
Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 2:15 pm CST Saturday 9 February 2008
A weak tropical low is located in the GULF OF CARPENTARIA to the east of Groote
Eylandt. The low is expected to move southeast and may develop in the short term
but is expected to move over land by Monday. Increasing showers and storms over
the Top End and northern waters is due to a developing northwest monsoonal flow.
The potential for development into a Tropical Cyclone over the next
few days is estimated to be:
Saturday: low,
Sunday: low,
Monday: low.
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.

Re: Gulf of Carpentaria: Invest 96P
Lots of convection.
AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 14.4S 137.6E,
APPROXIMATELY 415 NM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF DARWIN, AUSTRALIA. RECENT
METSAT IMAGERY INDICATES A DEVELOPING AREA OF CONVECTION OVER THE
GULF OF CARPENTARIA ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER.
UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS REVEALS THIS AREA IS UNDER MODERATE VERTICAL
WINDS SHEAR AND HAS GOOD EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL
PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1001 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS POOR.

Re: Gulf of Carpentaria: Invest 96P
This is probably one of those cyclones that strengthens over land. Australia gets lots of Erins.
