According to the Tropical Cyclone Advice No.4 issued at 08.56 hours local time today (6 February), the tropical low is expected to develop into a cyclone off the west Kimberley coast today. The Pilbara coast can expect gales from later Friday and a severe cyclone impact is probable on Saturday.
Intensity: Tropical Low, sustained winds near the centre of 55 km per hour with wind gusts to 85 km per hour.
Location: within 55 km of 16.9 degrees South 120.7 degrees East, estimated to be 200 km northwest of Broome and 440 km north northeast of Port Hedland.
Movement: west southwest at 15 km per hour.
A tropical low is moving west southwest away from the Kimberley coast and is expected to develop into a tropical cyclone today. During Friday, the cyclone is forecast to intensify as it turns south towards the Pilbara coast. A severe tropical cyclone impact is forecast for the Pilbara coast during Saturday.
Gales are forecast to develop along the Pilbara coast between Wallal Downs and Dampier including Port Hedland from later Friday afternoon. DESTRUCTIVE winds with wind gusts to 150 kilometres per hour may develop overnight Friday night as the cyclone approaches the coast, increasing further on Saturday near the cyclone centre. If the cyclone tracks further to the west then gales may develop Saturday morning west of Dampier to Onslow.
ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES could cause SERIOUS FLOODING at the coast between Dampier and Wallal including Karratha and Port Hedland on Saturday.
Heavy rain is likely to cause flooding in the Pilbara and Gascoyne as the cyclone moves inland over the weekend. Refer to Flood Watch at: http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/warnings/
