13 Mar 2018 / Queensland, Australia
Category 1 Tropical Cyclone Linda has formed in the Coral Sea and is expected to continue to move southwest towards the Queensland coast for the next 24 hours, before turning south and ultimately southeast away from the coast again. Tomorrow (Wednesday, 14 March), Linda is expected to transition into an intense subtropical low.
At its closest approach to the coast, the remains of tropical cyclone will generate large waves and dangerous surf conditions about exposed southern Queensland beaches. Tides are also expected to be higher than normal, particularly on Thursday morning's (15 March) high tide. A severe weather warning is current for these conditions.
Hay Point/Abbot Point
A trough lies over Torres Strait and will remain slow moving during today (13 March). A high pressure system in the Tasman Sea extends a ridge and a fresh southeasterly wind flow into Queensland waters to the south of the trough. The ridge should gradually relax during the next few days as the high weakens. A tropical low lies over the northeastern Coral Sea and will most likely move south-southwestwards during today and Wednesday, strengthening winds over Mackay waters late today into Wednesday. However, there is some uncertainty associated with the movement and intensity of this system.
Gladstone
At this time there is no major impact expected for the port of Gladstone. All port operations are expected to continue as per normal until further notice.
Brisbane
No major impact expected for the port of Brisbane. All port operations are expected to continue as per normal until further notice.
