The Bureau of Meteorology said the low was about 450km north-west of Broome heading east-southeast at 19km/hr. The low may develop into a tropical cyclone early tomorrow and is likely to brush the northern Kimberley coast late on Saturday into Sunday morning.

This satellite image of Helen, courtesy of NOAA, was taken late Thursday, local time.

Tropical Cyclone Helen, accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain, has made landfall across the east-central coastline of India.

The strength of Tropical Cyclone Helen was equal to that of a tropical storm in the Atlantic Basin as it came onshore. Helen made landfall near Machilipatnam, across the Andhra Pradesh state.

Wind gusts of 95 to 130 kph (60 to 80 mph) were expected to occur in the vicinity of where Helen came onshore. Such winds are capable of causing widespread tree damage and power outages. Falling trees threaten to cause additional damage and bodily harm.

Tropical Cyclone 3A moved over Puntland, Somalia, on November 10–11, 2013, causing flash floods that left more than 100 dead. The storm destroyed hundreds of homes and thousands of livestock, according to news reports. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this image of the cyclone on November 11, 2013, well after the storm came ashore. At its strongest, Tropical Cyclone 3A had winds of 74 kilometers (46 miles) per hour, making it the equivalent of a weak tropical storm.

Typhoon Haiyan (local name Yolanda) continues to plow through the Philippines, bringing destruction to the islands along its path.

While interaction with the islands has caused Haiyan's winds to decrease from its peak of 315 kph (195 mph), it remains a powerful and dangerous typhoon as it moves over the western Philippines Friday night, local time.

In advance of the cyclone, nearly 750,000 people were evacuated according to the Associated Press. At least four people have been confirmed dead with more injured and missing.

Zane should be the first tropical cyclone in seven years to cross Queensland's Cape York Peninsula, likely reaching category three. Tropical Cyclone Zane formed off the Queensland coast on Tuesday morning as it quickly developed and sped westwards. The cyclone will move west-northwest and should cross the coast between Orford Ness and Lockhart River late on Wednesday as a category two or three cyclone.

 

The last time a tropical cyclone crossed the Peninsula was in April 2006 when Severe Tropical Cyclone Monica crossed just south of Lockhart River as a category three system.
