I'm more interested in what GFS has in the gulf a week or so out.
It's been there for a few days now.

Ok. Interesting.
I don’t follow mid range forecasts myself but 7 day ACCESS g does have a small tropical low up in the gulf later in the week.
I will check that out soon. Thanks for your input

ACCESS g did a downgrade of the WA TC.
BOM confirming with the tracking showing the current low may get a name as CAT 1 by 8pm tonight.
WA obs showing Mandorra pressure dropping down to 996 hPa currently . They had 105 mm of rain yesterday.
Highest gust there so far 69 km/hr.
The major ports will breathe a sigh of relief.
