TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
for the Coral Sea West of Longitude 160 East
Issued at 2:30pm on Monday the 14th of January 2008
The monsoon trough extends across the northern Coral Sea and across the base of
Cape York Peninsula. A broad tropical low, with the main centre 996 hPa
currently located near Innisfail, is slow moving. The system remains tilted in
the vertical in an area of moderate vertical shear, and this combined with the
proximity to land ensures that the system has a low probability of developing
into a tropical cyclone in the next two days. With the environment likely to
gradually improve by Thursday, the chances of development increase to moderate.
There are currently no other tropical disturbances in the Coral Sea.
