Monsoon update

The weather system known as INVEST 90P, previously located around 468 kilometers northeast of Willis Island near 15.2S 154.2E, is consolidating. Satellite images show a gathering low-pressure center with forming bands on the outskirts. Conditions are somewhat favorable for development, with good upper-level outflow, warm sea surface temperatures, and moderate vertical wind shear. Global models predict that INVEST 90P will continue moving southwestward and intensify over the next 24-36 hours. Estimated surface winds are between 28 to 33 knots, and the minimum sea level pressure is around 999 hPa. There is a high potential for it to become a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours.


ACCESS has the tropical system approaching faster than the other two models, but only by about half a day. GFS appears more compact and more intense than ACCESS. Again the area to be prepared includes Cairns to Mackay. Regions either side of that could see significant rain as well.

National

The monsoon trough and low-pressure systems will bring heavy rain and storms to the northern tropics. Other troughs may cause showers and storms in the northern interior regions. Onshore winds are likely to produce showers for eastern parts of Tasmania, Victoria, and New South Wales. A tropical cyclone is expected to develop over the Coral Sea.

State

Weak trough over SW QLD & NSW. Coastal portion moves north Mon, up to Capricornia Tues. Monsoon trough extends across Gulf Country & Coral Sea but may contract northwards midweek. Tropical low (05U) on monsoon trough in northern Coral Sea has potential to become cyclone, likely to approach QLD coast midweek between Cairns & Mackay. Could later weaken to tropical low and move south over land.
