Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Northern Region, including the Gulf of Carpentaria
Issued at 2:15 pm CST on Saturday 20 January 2018
for the period until midnight CST Tuesday 23 January 2018.

Existing Cyclones in the Northern Region:
Nil.

Potential Cyclones:

The monsoon trough extends northwest to southeast across the Top End. A weak Tropical Low, 1002 hPa, is located in the monsoon trough over the southwest Gulf of Carpentaria. The Low is expected to remain slow moving over the next day or two, before moving to the west early next week. If the Low remains over water there is only a low chance of it developing into a Tropical Cyclone in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria on Monday.

Although the movement of the Low is uncertain in the longer term, the risk of a Tropical Cyclone developing remains low on Tuesday.

Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Western Region
Issued at 2:00 pm WST on Friday 26 January 2018
for the period until midnight WST Monday 29 January 2018.

Existing Cyclones in the Western Region:
Nil.

Potential Cyclones:

The monsoon trough extends from just north Cocos Islands to near Christmas Island, across waters north of Western Australia and across the Top End of the Northern Territory. The presence of an active monsoon trough over the region increases the risk of a tropical cyclone in the region.

A tropical low lies well inland over the west the Northern Territory, about 230 km east southeast of Kununurra. It is forecast to move slowly west or southwest over the next few days and should move into the Kimberley on Saturday. It should remain over land for at least the next few days, and so it is unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone. However, it is expected to develop into a deep monsoon low by Sunday, and as a result damaging winds and heavy rain will be possible over parts of the Kimberley. Gales and heavy surf conditions may develop along the north and northwest Kimberley coast on Sunday. Severe Weather Warnings will be issued for this system as required.
