The Department of Disaster Management is monitoring two tropical waves in the Atlantic that could become tropical cyclones as they move westward across the Atlantic.
As of 11am, Disturbance 1 is approximately 2190 miles southeast of the Territory and is showing a high chance of becoming a cyclone within the next week. Disturbance 2 on the other hand is approximately 3100 miles southeast of the Territory. This wave is expected to move into an area conducive for development in a few days.
These disturbances are not an immediate threat to Territory, however the department will continue to monitor them. Residents should also pay attention to updates. The next update will be at 2:30pm today.
