Tropical Cyclone Lua / Weather Watch March 14, 2012
Tropical Cyclone Lua Although Lua is currently moving north northwest, it is likely to take a more southeasterly track towards the east Pilbara coast and intensify during Thursday and Friday. Gales are not expected in coastal areas during today or Thursday, however gales could develop during Friday well ahead of the cyclone crossing the coast. A Tropical Low has moved into the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf. The low may develop into a tropical cyclone this morning before it crosses the coast between Wyndham and the NT/WA Border late morning or early this afternoon. GALES with gusts to 100 kilometres per hour may develop between Dundee Beach and Kalumburu during today. Tides will be HIGHER THAN NORMAL between Dundee Beach and Kalumburu, during today or tonight. Large waves may produce MINOR FLOODING of low-lying coastal areas. HEAVY RAIN is expected to cause significant stream rises and possible flooding of low lying areas in the Darwin-Daly and northern Victoria River Districts and Kimberley.
