TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN
Issued at 10:54 am EST on Sunday 21 January 2024

At 10 am AEST Sunday, a Tropical Low with central pressure 998 hPa was located
over the Coral sea
near latitude 15.0 south longitude 154.4 east, which is about 495 km east
northeast of Willis Island and 940 km east northeast of Townsville.

The low is slow moving and should gradually intensify over the next 24 hours.

Tropical Low 05U is developing in the Coral Sea and is forecast to track
towards the Queensland coast. A coastal crossing is likely around the middle of
the week, with the most likely zone being between about Cairns and Mackay. A
severe coastal impact is possible, particularly if the system crosses near or
