Come in spinner : Weather, Road Conditions & River Levels

There is a near-stationary low centred just south of Lake Argyle, WA, with a good bit of spin on it, and it's already pushing rain over the Top End.

Will it drift west, or will it drift north, power up and do another Carlos? :shock:

Hope it goes south west and drags all this rain away with it! Ive got a week fishing in 10 days time. No more rain thanks.

latest TC outlook says it will be going NE to be sitting in the base of the Gulf of Carpentaria next week.....

Looks to me like it is moving north ... http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR071.loop.shtml

Either way, it is bringing rain. Poncho and bilge pump sales must be going through the roof.

Perfect.

As long as it gets over there befor the 19th. Hopefully it will dump a shitt load more rain and then drag all the weather away far enough to give us some good flat creek mouths. If not its going to be a very :sailing:

ride for me. :surf:

Daly is rising ... http://reg.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDD60322/IDD6 ... .plt.shtml

Still plenty of rain an water about. The Daly is still too high, I know that.

But I guess the big question will be is when the road to the ramp will open. I have heard it has copped some damage from the floods and it will be a while.

Anyone got any insights on this

I heard the same Dingo. I had to organise a permit to go there this week for work because of the roads. I will see if I can check it out, or Ill ask some of the locals what they reckon about the road opening.

Competitors in the Barra Nats won’t be able to moor their boats over night (ie retrieve via the ramp) because the pontoon is damaged (so I heard)

Potential Cyclones:
The monsoon trough lies over the Kimberley, connecting to a weak tropical low
[22U] near the WA/NT Border. The low is expected to drift slowly to the
southwest over the next few days, remaining weak and over land.

Likelihood of this low being a tropical cyclone in the Western Region:
Sunday :Very Low
Monday :Very Low
Tuesday :Very Low
