Special report
Monsoon:
Severe Tropical Cyclone 03P (Jasper) is exoected to move SSW to SW at a greater speed than today. It is expected to make land by the 13th and cross by the 14th, the SW quadrant of the storm is likely to be felt over Cairns and the system will be destructive from Cooktown down to Cardwell. That seems to be where there is alignment between all models, and of course these will likely change as we see exactly what Jasper does on the 9th Dec. There are two major factors at play, the ridging along the coast acting like a ramp to shift the system more to the North and the speed of the cyclone. It is likely to cross as a Cat 2, possibly still a cat 3. Overnight has travelled at 8km/h SSW. Still no signs of diverting more West.
Storms:
A trough will move eastward, bringing hot air to the east coast of NSW and triggering storms in WA, NT, NSW, and parts of northeast Vic. Cooler winds and rain/showers are expected for SA and southern Vic behind the trough. Severe Tropical Cyclone Jasper will maintain strong winds and rain well offshore.
