Tropical Cyclone Stan brought wind and rain to the coast of Western Australia as it made landfall on Saturday.\u00a0 At 2:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Tropical Cyclone Stan was located at latitude 20.0\u00b0S and longitude 119.9\u00b0E which put it about 22 miles (35 km) east-northeast of Pardoo Station, Australia.\u00a0 Stan was moving toward the south-southeast at 13 m.p.h. (20 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 75 m.p.h. (120 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 90 m.p.h. (145 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 977 mb.<\/p>\n
The center of Tropical Cyclone Stan made landfall just east of Pardoo Station.\u00a0 The circulation of Stan is relatively small and tropical storm force winds only extend about 100 miles from the center.\u00a0 Most of the heavy rain is occurring west of the center of circulation between Pardoo and Port Hedland.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Stan is moving around the western end of a subtropical ridge.\u00a0 A trough in the middle levels of the atmosphere is west of Stan and it is helping to steer the tropical cyclone toward the southeast.\u00a0 That general motion is expected to continue during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Cyclone Stan will move farther inland over Western Australia.\u00a0 It could pass near Yarrie in a few hours.<\/p>\n
Tropical Cyclone Stan will continue to weaken steadily as it moves farther inland.\u00a0 It could cause localized wind damage.\u00a0 Stan could also produce locally heavy rain in isolated locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
