A monsoon trough has become active once again across the Northern Indian Ocean, North of the Northern Territory and across the Northern Coral Sea. This trough over the last 12-24hrs (late Wednesday into Thursday) has developed a tropical low which is currently situated about 1200km North-West of Port Hedland / 1400km West-North-West of Broome as of midday AWST on Thursday.
This low is showing all the signs of further development with strong convection and consistent convection being highly noticeable along with convective banding which is producing lightning, wrapping into the low level circulation centre.
