The Department of Disaster Management is monitoring a tropical wave that just came off the the coast of Africa. This wave is approximately 2800 miles east southeast of the Territory. This wave is expected to move into an area favourable for development and a tropical depression could form later this week.
Residents should continue stay prepared and be ready to execute their emergency plans if the need arises. The Department will continue to monitor this system as it moves westward. The next update will be at 2:30 pm or sooner if necessary.
