Monsoon Update

Ex TC Lincoln is currently moving southwestward along the northern edge of a high-pressure area above Western Australia. It will continue on this path until approximately 24 hours from now when the high-pressure system shifts, allowing the cyclone to turn southward. By around 60 hours, the forecast predicts that the cyclone will make landfall just west of Learmonth. After making landfall, it will turn southeastward towards inland Australia and lose strength, dissipating by 96 hours. The intensity forecast anticipates gradual strengthening until about 48 hours due to favorable conditions like warm sea temperatures, but also factors in moderate challenges like mid-level wind shear (20-30 knots) and some dry air. The peak intensity is expected to reach 50 knots around 48 hours, after which the system rapidly weakens upon interacting with land and dissipates by 96 hours.

Showers and storms affecting northern tropics, QLD, and NSW, with potential strong winds and heavy rain near Tropical Cyclone Lincoln in WA's Pilbara. Showers and cooler winds impacting TAS and VIC due to a front, with the cooling winds moving up the NSW coast.
