TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
for the Coral Sea West of Longitude 160 East
Issued at 2:30pm on Wednesday the 27th of February 2008
A small low is situated off the North Tropical Coast about 210 km east of
Innisfail. This low will remain near stationary until Thursday morning, when it
should adopt a southeasterly track, parallel to the coast to be about 200 to 300
km off the Central Coast on Friday. Interaction with an approaching upper level
trough may lead to a strengthening of the low as it begins to move to the
southeast, however the system has a low probability of developing into a
tropical cyclone.
A second tropical low situated on the monsoon trough near 17S 160E. This low is
expected to move in a southerly direction to be roughly near 25S 160E by Friday.
This system will gradually intensify as it moves south but is not expected to
develop into a tropical cyclone within the next three days.
