Monsoon Update
Ex TC Lincoln has moved WSW deeper into the NT and looks to be making a bolt for the WA coast. After that it is a bit unclear, it could head further out or stay along the coast. Three days is best we can do with alignment between the models. The rain is going with it sadly.
National
A weakening monsoon low will continue to bring heavy rain, storms, and gusty winds to the NT's interior and WA's north. Showers are expected in parts of QLD's north, NSW, and Tas due to moist onshore winds. High pressure will keep the rest of the areas dry while directing hot winds towards WA's south.
