Monsoon Update
Tropical Low 08U: A high chance of a tropical cyclone forming off the Western Australia coast on Friday with Tropical Low 08U approaching, possibly becoming a category 2 system and posing a small risk of direct impact on the Pilbara coast.
Tropical Low 09U: With a moderate risk of becoming a tropical cyclone in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Tropical Low 09U may form within the monsoon near the north Australian coast, moving east-southeast and potentially crossing the western Top End coast on Wednesday or Thursday, with a reduced risk of cyclone formation over Northern Territory land by Tuesday.
Tropical Low 10U: Presenting a low risk of developing into a tropical cyclone in the Coral Sea, Tropical Low 10U might form off the eastern Top End in the Gulf of Carpentaria, moving east-southeast into the Coral Sea by Thursday and staying well offshore off the east Queensland coast. This is the system that may impact slightly on the Pink concert but only with pushing showers to the coast on Friday. Saturday should be fine. Easter should have early showers then dry, there is a chance a low might be out in the Coral Sea sucking up the rain.
National
The far north can expect heavy rain and storms due to the monsoon and potential tropical lows, while southeast WA will experience continued rain from lingering tropical moisture.
