The charts show it moving pretty quickly across the Roper region, making its way over the Vic in about a 72-hour window. Should get that rain inland where it hasn't really got and loaded up the catchments. This is the type of monsoon / depression we need.

2-300mms on the lower Roper would make Scottmac a happy lad! :D

Another burst in March would make him ecstatic! :D :D :D 8) 8) 8)

That low expected to track west and form cyclone just north of Keep River Thurs/Fri.

Then expected to follow WA coastline SW before disappearing inland.

That's three lows that have crossed the coast near the Roper. Not one of them has dropped any decent rain down there. Very frustrating!
