Cyclone Wallace off Australian coast. It's heading for Western Australia. Any Gimp Chatters in the state have my thoughts and prayers. It's the third or fourth Cyclone this season.

Of course, Kimba. My prayers for not destruction or damage.
Wallace, I like your name, too. :)

TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN
Issued at 3:03 pm WST on Saturday 6 April 2019
BY THE BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING CENTRE PERTH

Tropical Cyclone Wallace (Category 1) was located at 2:00 pm AWST near 12.2S
124.3E,
that is 345 km northwest of Kalumburu and 490 km north northeast of Cape
Leveque and moving west southwest at 15 kilometres per hour.
Gales are no longer expected along coastal parts of the Kimberley.

Tropical Cyclone Wallace is expected to continue its west southwest track and
develop further in the next few days. While the most likely track keeps the
system well off the WA coast, there remains a risk that the cyclone could
approach the west Pilbara coast towards the middle of next week.

The next Information Bulletin will be issued at 9 pm AWST.

Thank you, Sallyanne. Looks like it's going away,but Cyclones are notorious for changing course so they'll keep an eye on it until it's really too far away.

Looks like Wallace is unlikely to come to Australia now at all.
The system is now unlikely to approach the far west Pilbara
coast later in the week.
