#Narelle ( #27P ) is currently bearing down on the western Pilbara and the NW Cape peninsula as a Category 4 severe TC. Some additional strengthening is possible before it moves inland near Cape Cuvier in WA on Fri PM. Perth area could see wind impacts similar to Seroja in 2021.

#Narelle ( #27P ) has reattained severe TC status as it quickly reintensifies off the Pilbara. It's forecast to peak at 105 kts before making landfall at Cape Cuvier. It should undergo extratropical transition after landfall, but a big portion of WA could see hazardous conditions.

Big differences between the GFS and EC Ensembles highlight the uncertainty in ex #Cyclone Narelle ( #34U / #27P) 's track.

Big differences between official BoM track and JTWC too ...

Bottom line- it is a waiting game. Dont believe the hype (yet)

#Narelle ( #27P, #34U) has crossed the Cape York Peninsula and is now over the Gulf of Carpentaria. It has weakened substantially and is now a Cat 2 (Australia) system with 55 kt winds.

Narelle is forecast to move across the Gulf and regain some strength before reaching the Top End early on Sunday.

#Narelle ( #27P , #34U ) continues to intensify over the Coral Sea. Significant impacts are expected over the northern Cape York Peninsula in #Qld beginning Fri. Although Narelle will likely weaken over land, some reintensification is likely once it enters the Gulf of Carpentaria on Sat.

Cat 2 Tropical Cyclone #Narelle ( #27P / #34U ) should intensify considerably over the next 48 hours, with a possible period of RI. Steering mechanisms are strong so there is a lot of confidence in the track, however there is uncertainty in speed and therefore timing of landfall.
