Tropical Cyclone Warning for Orford Ness to Cape Flattery across Cape York Peninsula to Pormpuraaw to Mappoon. Watch for Mapoon to Cape York
Tue 07:37 EST
Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology
Queensland
Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre
Media: Transmitters serving the area between Cape Grenville and Coen are
requested to USE the Standard Emergency Warning Signal before broadcasting the
following warning.
TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST
TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 14
Issued at 7:36 am EST on Tuesday 19 March 2019
Headline:
Severe tropical cyclone Trevor continues to intensify and move slowly towards
the Lockhart River area.
Areas Affected:
Warning zone: Orford Ness to Cape Flattery, extending across Cape York
Peninsula to Pormpuraaw to Mapoon, including Weipa, Lockhart River, and Coen
Watch zone: Mapoon to Cape York
Cancelled zone: None
Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor at 7:00 am AEST:
Intensity: Category 3, sustained winds near the centre of 150 kilometres per
hour with wind gusts to 205 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 20 kilometres of 12.9 degrees South 144.4 degrees East,
estimated to be 120 kilometres east of Lockhart River and 270 kilometres east
of Weipa.
Movement: west southwest at 7 kilometres per hour.
Tropical cyclone Trevor continues to intensify as it moves west-southwest
towards the eastern Cape York Peninsula coast. It is expected to cross the
coast to the near south of Lockhart River late this afternoon or early evening.
The cyclone will most likely cross as a high-end category 3 system, but further
intensification to category 4 cannot be ruled out.
Tropical cyclone Trevor will weaken as it crosses the northern Peninsula
tonight and Wednesday, but may remain a category 1 cyclone until it enters the
Gulf of Carpentaria later on Wednesday. It is expected to reintensify in the
Gulf.
Hazards:
GALES, with gusts in excess of 90 km/h, are expected to develop in coastal
areas between Orford Ness and Cape Flattery today as the cyclone approaches.
These GALES are expected to extend inland over the Peninsula tonight and on
Wednesday as the cyclone moves inland.
DESTRUCTIVE WINDS, with gusts in excess of 125 km/h are expected between Cape
Grenville and Coen from this afternoon as the cyclone nears the coast. These
DESTRUCTIVE WINDS will move some way inland with the cyclone tonight.
The VERY DESTRUCTIVE CORE of tropical cyclone Trevor, with extreme gusts up to
220 km/h, will make landfall between Cape Grenville and Coen late this
afternoon or evening, most likely to the near south of Lockhart River.
GALES may develop along the northwestern Peninsula coast between Cape York and
Mapoon during Wednesday if Trevor remains a tropical cyclone and takes a more
northerly track than forecast.
As the cyclone crosses the coast, a STORM TIDE is expected between Lockhart
River and Cape Melville, including Princess Charlotte Bay. Large waves may
produce minor flooding along the foreshore. People living in these areas are
likely to be affected by flooding and should take measures to protect their
property as much as possible and be prepared to help their neighbours.
ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday's morning high
tides for the far northeast Queensland coast, north of Port Douglas.
HEAVY RAINFALL, which may lead to flash flooding, is forecast to develop across
far north Queensland over the next few days. A Flood Watch has been issued for
catchments north of Cairns to Kowanyama.
Recommended Action:
People between Orford Ness and Cape Flattery and adjacent inland areas
(including Lockhart River and Coen), should complete preparations quickly and
be prepared to shelter in a safe place.
People in western parts of the Cape York Peninsula between Mapoon and
Pormpuraaw (including Weipa) and adjacent inland areas should immediately
commence or continue preparations, especially securing boats and property,
using available daylight hours.
People between Cape York and Mapoon on the northwestern Peninsula should
consider what action they will need to take if the cyclone threat increases,
and listen to the next advice at 11 am AEST Tuesday.
- Information is available from your local government.
- For cyclone preparedness and safety advice, visit Queensland's Disaster
Management Services website (www.disaster.qld.gov.au).
- For emergency assistance call the Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) on
132 500 (for assistance with storm damage, rising flood water, fallen trees on
buildings or roof damage).
Next Advice:
The next advice will be issued by 11:00 am AEST Tuesday 19 March.
This warning is also available through TV and Radio Broadcasts; the Bureau's
website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 212. The Bureau and the State
