Tropical low in Queensland's north-west could develop into cyclone, says BOM
abc.net.au/news/moderate-cyclone-risk-days-after-gabrielle-passes-over/101963316A tropical low in Queensland's north-west could develop into a cyclone by Tuesday according to the Bureau of Meteorology, just days after Gabrielle passed over Norfolk Island.
The bureau is watching a low in Gulf Country, which has a 20 to 50 per cent chance of developing into a cyclone, senior meteorologist Harry Clark said. "At this stage it looks like it will affect areas further west, so mainly over the Northern Territory side of the border in the Gulf Country, [it's] certainly another tropical system to keep an eye on in what's been a busy few weeks," he said.
"On Tuesday, we do have potential for severe thunderstorms through south-eastern Queensland. With that we do once again see the risk of flash flooding," he said. "If we do get pockets of heavy rainfall associated with that, [we] couldn't rule out some damaging winds and large hail with that as well."
