Another Tropical Low

Looks as though another late season cyclone is on its way, still up in the Arafura Sea, but predicted to track into WA. Will be Cyclone Frances

 Glad that's going the other

 Glad that's going the other way, just about over rain just now. But we get moving again tomorrow, fuel and water tanks full, grey and black tanks empty. Made a few bucks looking after the caravan park for the owners. Guess we'll head east, but we're booked on the ferry to Tasmania in November, so I guess we'll take a slow mosey to Melbourne.

Have been watching this

Have been watching this closely as I am planning on heading to the Monties on Saturday.

Currently BOM predict it to fizzle out before it gets that far. Would this be pretty confident based on water and air temp this time of year or still a chance it won't fizzle out?

Vassago currently working about 50kilometers north of the Monties.

Rumours on board are we are lifting bridge thursday and running away from the cyclone.

Cool morning up here. this low won't grow any balls. If your unlucky it might travel down the coast but cant see it being all that strong. FESA are calling everything a cyclone this year for some bullshit reason already got parts of the WA coast on blue alert ffs

No longer expected to reach

No longer expected to reach cyclone levels :-)

A Tropical Low system lies about 500km east northeast of Kalamburu and is slowly moving in a west to southwesterly direction. The Tropical Low is expected to move along the north Kimberley coast during Thursday and Friday. The system is no longer expected to become a tropical cyclone, however it may still produce severe weather over the far north Kimberley.
