A tropical low, known as 18U, is forming off the northern coastline of Western Australia. This system has a high chance of intensifying to tropical cyclone strength over the coming days. As the system strengthens, it is likely to generate strong to locally damaging winds, heavy falls, and large waves. ⚠️ A Tropical Cyclone Watch has been issued for these forecast risks, extending down the Kimberley coast from Cockatoo Island to De Grey, including Broome.

A tropical low, labelled 10U, is gradually forming to the north of Western Australia's Pilbara region. A second tropical low, labelled 11U, may form off the Kimberley coast later this week. At this stage, each system has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone from later in the week. However, if the intensification doesn't reach cyclone strength, the 2 tropical lows could still bring significant rain, wind, and wave impacts to the northern WA coastline into the weekend.
