Tropical cyclone DORA is in the open Indian Ocean, and not posing a threat other than to shipping. Latest information suggests winds of 85 knots, 100 mph. Further update on Dora is expected at 9pm GMT.
Northern Australia is watching a low pressure system east of Darwin, and the hurricane centre at Darwin has issued the following advice:
A CYCLONE WATCH has been extended to include coastal and island communities from Elcho Island to Port McArthur, including Nhulunbuy and Groote Eylandt.
At 9:30 pm CST a TROPICAL LOW was centred in the southern Arafura Sea about 135 kilometres north of Nhulunbuy and 155 kilometres northeast of Elcho Island moving east northeast at 20 kilometres per hour. The low is expected to move southeast into the Gulf of Carpentaria on Thursday.
There is the possibility of a TROPICAL CYCLONE developing but GALES are not expected in coastal areas within the next 24 hours, however gales could develop later.
