Tirón de PAUL que llegó a tener 60 kts, y es que el ambiente es muy favorable. La baja cizalladura y la alta SST han hecho que se intensifique. Por el contrario, la proximidad a tierra hace que su desarrollo sea limitado.

TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING

TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 22  
Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN
at 7:26 pm CST Monday 29 March 2010

A Cyclone WARNING continues for coastal and island communities from Milingimbi
to Numbulwar, including Nhulunbuy and Groote Eylandt.

A Cyclone WATCH continues for coastal and island communities west to Maningrida
and south to Port McArthur.

At 6:30 pm CST Tropical Cyclone Paul, Category 2 was estimated to be 70
kilometres north northwest of Alyangula and 150 kilometres south southwest of
Nhulunbuy, moving southwest at 5 kilometres per hour.

The cyclone is currently close to the coast and is expected to move inland and
weaken slightly early on Tuesday. On Wednesday it is likely the cyclone will
move back into Gulf of Carpentaria where it may reintensify.

DESTRUCTIVE WINDS with gusts to 140 kilometres per hour are likely on the coast
near Cape Shield as the cyclone moves inland.

Pues vuelve a subir y se coloca al borde de la categoría 1

Pero como dije ayer, Bureau proyecta en su trayectoria que pueda salir al golfo de Carpentaria y se refuerze de nuevo.
