Top end again on cyclone watch

30 Mar, 2009 02:24 PM
Keep an eye on the Top End, as a tropical low near Timor has begun to develop into a potentially dangerous system.

WeatherZone yesterday observed winds gusting up to 85 kilometres per hour and a central pressure at 1008 hPa and dropping.

This system certainly has the ability to intensify into a Tropical Cyclone sometime this week.

The low is expected to track westward and speed up over the next day or two, with the central pressure falling to 998 hPa by Tuesday.

It is predicted that this low has a moderate chance to form into a Tropical Cyclone within the next three days.

However, there is always much uncertainty with these systems.
