Tropical Low 02U
Potential for a tropical low to form north of the Kimberley or Northern Territory next week.
A weak trough lies just south of the Indonesian archipelago, and is expected to extend into the Timor Sea north of the Kimberley over the weekend. It is possible, albeit not likely, that a tropical low (02U) forms in the Timor Sea early next week.
Should the low form, it would be slow moving in the Timor Sea where environmental conditions are generally supportive for development.
The risk of 02U to develop into a tropical cyclone increases to Low from Tuesday onwards. The chances of it moving closer to the Northern Territory coast increases later in the week.
