REMARKS:
Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle (34U) continues to develop in the northern
Coral Sea. In recent hours Narelle has moved away from the southeastern PNG
islands and also has at times shown signs of developing a brief eye. Position
is based on visible satellite imagery and microwave (ATMS at 0323 UTC) with
good confidence.
The Dvorak pattern has been difficult, thanks to transitioning from a curved
band pattern and an eye making an appearance. Dvorak analysis using an embedded
centre pattern with a B surround, and an eye pattern, LG surround, LG eye, and
adjustment of 0.5, this yields a 3-hour average DT of 4.5. A 24-hour D trend
yields a MET of 4.0, and PT adjusted to 4.5. FT/CI is based on PT and is 4.5.
Intensity is estimated at 65 knots based on earlier ASCAT-UHR at 2218 UTC. This
in line with Dvorak, and generally in line with objective aids. Objective
guidance at 0610 UTC unless otherwise stated (all one-minute mean); ADT 61 kn,
AidT 66 kn, DPRINT 74 kn, SATCON 60 kn (0530 UTC).
Environmental conditions are favourable for further intensification. Narelle
lies in a region of low vertical wind shear, in the range of about 10 knots,
and is expected to remain in this favourable region. Other parameters remain
supportive until landfall, including, warm sea surface temperatures of around
28 30 C, and generally deep moisture, dry air is currently remaining well to
the west and is unlikely to impact development.
Steady to rapid intensification is forecast until landfall. The rate of
intensification may be aided from Thursday by the approach of a new upper
trough which leads to an increase in upper divergence and poleward outflow. A
category 5 peak intensity is forecast. This is expected to occur shortly before
interactions with the Queensland east coast increase, and consequently some
weakening before the centre of Narelle crosses the coast is anticipated. If
Narelle tracks a little further north it may maintain category 5 intensity
until landfall.
There is very good confidence in the westward tracks of Narelle, with the
subtropical ridge to the south the dominating steering mechanism. There
remains, however, some variation in how quickly Narelle moves west, and Narelle
may approach the north east Queensland coast as early as Thursday afternoon,
which is earlier than the current most likely forecast track. This uncertainty
in timing also impacts the intensification forecast, and there is a chance that
Narelle either begins to interact with land and weaken earlier, or slows and
intensifies more than forecast.
After crossing the east Queensland Coast Narelle is expected to continue to be
steered to the west by the subtropical ridge, moving back over waters of the
Gulf of Carpentaria, most likely overnight Friday or during Saturday. As
Narelle moves across the Cape York Peninsula it is likely to considerably
weaken, though is expected to remain a tropical cyclone. Once over Gulf waters,
the environment continues to be favourable and re-intensification is forecast.
There is forecast to be enough time over the warm waters of the Gulf (SSTs are
around 30 C), with light wind shear continuing, and sufficient deep moisture
for Narelle to intensify to a severe tropical cyclone again before crossing the
eastern coast of the Northern Territory.
Looking further ahead, after crossing the Northern Territory coast, Narelle is
expected to weaken below tropical cyclone intensity and continue its track
west, moving across the Top End and then the Kimberly as a tropical low.

TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 6
Issued at 4:42 pm EST on Wednesday 18 March 2026
Headline:
Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle is intensifying in the northern Coral Sea, and is expected to bring severe impacts to Far North Queensland.
Areas Affected:
Warning Zone
Lockhart River to Cape Tribulation.
Watch Zone
Cape Tribulation to Port Douglas, extending across the Central Peninsula to Weipa and Kowanyama.
Cancelled Zone
None.
Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle 34U at 4:00 pm AEST:
Intensity: Category 3, sustained winds near the centre of 120 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 165 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 35 kilometres of 12.7 degrees South 151.9 degrees East, estimated to be 780 kilometres east northeast of Cooktown and 950 kilometres east of Coen.
Movement: west southwest at 22 kilometres per hour.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle (34U) is currently at category 3 intensity in the northern Coral Sea. Narelle is expected to move steadily to the west and approach the far northeast Queensland coast between Lockhart River and Port Douglas. A severe impact is likely late on Thursday or during Friday.
After crossing the northeast Queensland coast, most likely on Friday morning, Narelle is forecast to continue its westward path, moving across the Cape York Peninsula and into the Gulf of Carpentaria. As is crosses the Cape York Peninsula Narelle is likely to weaken, however, it is expected to remain a tropical cyclone. Narelle will continue to move west across the Gulf of Carpentaria, and is forecast have renewed intensification, developing again to a severe tropical cyclone before moving towards the Northern Territory.
Hazards:
VERY DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS in excess of 250 km/h are possible near the centre of Tropical Cyclone Narelle as it crosses the coast.
DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS to 155 km/hr are likely from south of Lockhart River to Cape Flattery from Thursday night and may extend south to Cooktown if Narelle takes a more southerly path.
Gales with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 120 km/hr are likely between Lockhart River and Cooktown from Thursday evening, and may extend south to Port Douglas if Narelle takes a more southerly path.
Gales and GUSTS may begin earlier in the warning area during Thursday if Narelle moves faster than the current forecast.
Gales with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 120 km/hr will also possibly extend across the Cape York Peninsula, including areas between Weipa and Kowanyama from Friday.
HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is possible between Cape Melville and Port Douglas from Thursday evening, extending northwards and to inland areas west of Coen during Friday. LOCALLY INTENSE RAINFALL is likely in an area of the Peninsula bounded by Lockhart River, Cape Flattery, Pormpuraaw, and Weipa during Friday.
Tides will be higher than normal between Coen and Port Douglas as Narelle approaches and crosses the coast. LARGE WAVES may produce MINOR FLOODING of low-lying coastal areas. There is a small risk that tides may approach the highest tide of the year during Friday.
Tides in Princess Charlotte Bay are likely to rise significantly above the normal high tide, with DAMAGING WAVES and DANGEROUS FLOODING. Any coastal residents in this area are specifically warned of a possible DANGEROUS STORM TIDE as the cyclone centre crosses the coast.
Once Narelle moves into the Gulf of Carpentaria, tides on the western Peninsula between Weipa and Kowanyama may be higher than normal. LARGE WAVES may produce MINOR FLOODING of low-lying coastal areas.
Recommended Action:
People between Lockhart River and Cape Tribulation should take precautions and listen to the next advice.
-IF YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER PHONE TRIPLE ZERO (000) IMMEDIATELY.
People between Cape Tribulation to Port Douglas, extending across the Central Peninsula to Weipa and Kowanyama should stay informed and listen to the next advice.
- Stay informed by checking your local government's Disaster Dashboards for the latest updates.

Next Advice:
The next advice will be issued by 8:00 pm AEST Wednesday 18 March.
