Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre
TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN
Issued at 4:46am EST on Wednesday the 17th of March 2010
At 4 am EST Wednesday, Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului [Category 4] with central
pressure 937 hPa was located over the north-east Coral Sea near latitude 13.7
south longitude 157.8 east, which is about 1240 km northeast of Mackay and 1370
km east of Cooktown.
The cyclone is moving south at about 4 kilometres per hour.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului is expected to continue moving in a southerly
direction, remaining well offshore, for the next two days.
On Friday the cyclone is expected to turn west-southwest and begin moving closer
to the Queensland coast. On current predictions the most likely scenario is for
the cyclone to impact the central Queensland coast sometime during the weekend.
The windy conditions over much of the Queensland east coastal waters will
continue due to the tight pressure gradient generated by a combination of a high
pressure system in the Tasman Sea and Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului. Seas and
swell are expected to gradually increase along much of the Queensland east
coast.
The next Information Bulletin will be issued by 11 am EST Wednesday.
