Tropical Cyclone Narelle moved back over water near the coast of Western Australia on Monday evening.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Cyclone Narelle was located at latitude 16.0\u00b0S and longitude 124.3\u00b0E which put the center about 225 miles (360 km) northwest of Broome, Australia.\u00a0 Narelle was moving toward the west-southwest at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 996 mb.<\/p>\n
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology issued a Warning that is in effect for the portion of the coast from Beagle Bay to Kuri Bay.\u00a0 Another Warning is in effect for the portion of the coast from De Grey to Wallal Downs.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n A Watch is in effect for the portion of the coast from Exmouth to De Grey.\u00a0 The Watch includes Onslow, Karratha, and Port Hedland.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The center of Tropical Cyclone Narelle moved back over water near Kuri Bay on Monday evening.\u00a0 Thunderstorms were developing in bands in the western side of Narelle’s circulation that were already over water.\u00a0 Bands in the southern and eastern parts of Tropical Cyclone Narelle were still over Western Australia.\u00a0 Those bands consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.<\/p>\n The distribution of winds speeds in Tropical Cyclone Narelle was also being affected by the fact that about half of Narelle’s circulation was still over Western Australia.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out about 115 miles (185 km) in the northern side of Tropical Cyclone Narelle.\u00a0 The winds in the southern side of Narelle’s circulation were blowing at less than tropical storm force.<\/p>\n Tropical Cyclone Narelle will move into an environment favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Narelle will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the northern part of an upper level ridge that is over Western Australia.\u00a0 The upper level ridge will produce easterly winds that will blow toward the top of Narelle’s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause some vertical wind shear, but the wind shear will not be enough to prevent intensification.\u00a0 Tropical Cyclone Narelle will intensify during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Narelle is likely to strengthen back to the equivalent of a hurricane\/typhoon later this week.<\/p>\n Tropical Cyclone Narelle will move around the northern side of a high pressure system that is over Australia.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Narelle toward the west-southwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Cyclone Narelle will move over water north of the coast of Western Australia.<\/p>\n Tropical Cyclone Narelle will bring gusty winds and locally heavy rain to places near the northern coast of Western Australia.\u00a0 Heavy rain could cause flash floods in some locations.<\/p>\n Flood Watches are in effect for the North Kimberley Rivers, the West Kimberley Rivers and the East Kimberley Rivers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tropical Cyclone Narelle moved back over water near the coast of Western Australia on Monday evening.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Cyclone Narelle was located at latitude 16.0\u00b0S and longitude 124.3\u00b0E which put the center about 225 miles (360 km) northwest of Broome, Australia.\u00a0 Narelle was moving toward the west-southwest […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,48,2],"tags":[1508,78,1912,933,1896,2462,1467,1895,4128,1927,979,1507,4127,1897,94],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24194"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24195,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24194\/revisions\/24195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
