Monsoon update
The weather system, INVEST 90P, was previously near 15.2S 152.4E and has now moved to approximately 14.5S 154.8E, about 1015 kilometers east-northeast of Cairns, Australia. Animated satellite images show a fully exposed low-level circulation center with intense thunderstorms in the northern part. The current environment is not very favorable for development, with weak upper-level outflow, moderate vertical wind shear (15-20 knots), and dry air. Global models predict that 90P will move northeast over the next 48 hours while gradually strengthening. It currently has sustained winds of 15 to 20 knots and a minimum sea level pressure around 998 hPa. The likelihood of it becoming a significant tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours is considered low. JTWC are basically still not interested in it much.
Four days from now this is how things look, while the models looks a little closer, still a lot of difference. The EC has the High moving faster East than GFS and GFS have it moving faster East than ACCESS.

National
The monsoon trough and lows will bring heavy rain and storms across the northern tropics.
Deep troughs may drive showers and storms over northwest WA, the NT's interior, Qld, and northeast NSW. Heat will build in the interior and west.

State
Monsoon trough continues in Gulf of Carpentaria, Cape York Peninsula, and Coral Sea, with a weak tropical low on the trough in Coral Sea moving east. Uncertainty about its development into a cyclone next week. Trough moving slowly east across Queensland causing unsettled conditions, but will weaken as ridge forms over southern Queensland by the weekend.
