The north tropical Queensland coast may be impacted by a late season tropical cyclone next week. A weak low has formed within a trough over the Solomon Sea. Over the next few days this low is expected to intensify and move slowly in a west-southwest direction, towards the eastern Cape York Peninsula coast. The Bureau of Meteorology are rating Monday as a high likelihood (that is, greater than 50% chance) of this system developing into a tropical cyclone.
Should a cyclone form it will be named Zane. Sea surface temperatures in the region are around 29 degrees which provides ample energy to fuel tropical cyclone formation and development.
