TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 14
Issued at 1:06 pm ACST [1:36 pm AEST] on Friday 16 February 2024
Headline:
Tropical Cyclone Lincoln formed this morning in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria. A coastal crossing is expected between Port McArthur and the NT/Qld Border during the late afternoon or evening.
Areas Affected:
Warning Zone
Bing Bong (NT) to Mornington Island (Qld), including Borroloola, Port McArthur and Mornington Island.
Watch Zone
None.
Cancelled Zone
None.
Details of Tropical Cyclone Lincoln at 12:30 pm ACST [1:00 pm AEST]:
Intensity: Category 1, sustained winds near the centre of 75 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 100 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 20 kilometres of 15.7 degrees South 137.4 degrees East, estimated to be 125 kilometres east northeast of Borroloola and 220 kilometres west northwest of Mornington Island.
Movement: slow moving.
Tropical Cyclone Lincoln will move to the south to southwest over the southern Gulf of Carpentaria this afternoon. It is forecast to make landfall between the NT/Qld border and Port McArthur (NT) later this afternoon or evening as a category 1 cyclone.
As it moves inland tonight, the system is expected to quickly weaken below tropical cyclone intensity. It will then begin moving west across the Northern Territory over the weekend.
Hazards:
GALES with DAMAGING WIND GUSTS to 110 kilometres per hour are expected to develop along the coast between Bing Bong and Mornington Island as Tropical Cyclone Lincoln approaches and crosses the coast.
HEAVY RAINFALL is expected along the southern Gulf of Carpentaria coast. Locally intense rainfall is also possible. Refer to separate Flood watches and warnings, as well as the Severe Weather Warning.
Tides will be HIGHER THAN NORMAL across the southern Gulf of Carpentaria today and Saturday. Large waves may produce MINOR FLOODING of low-lying coastal areas as the system nears the coast on Friday.
Recommended Action:
For people in the Northern Territory NTES advises:
-People in Borroloola and surrounding areas should stay calm and remain inside while dangerous winds and rain continue.
-Do not go outside if you find you are in the eye of the cyclone.
-Follow the advice and instructions of local police, emergency services and authorities

REMARKS:
Tropical Cyclone Lincoln was located using visible satellite imagery, radar
animation and nearby surface observations. Deep convection has continued just
to the west of the centre. The exposed low level centre is now less than 10nm
to the east of the deepest convection.
Dvorak analysis based on shear pattern yields DT = 3.5. MET = 2.5 based on a 24
hour D trend, with PT adjusted to 3.0. Final T and CI = 3.0. Objective
Guidance: AiDT 33kn, DPRINT 34 kn (1-min). Intensity is 40 knots based on
earlier ASCAT pass and Dvorak analysis.
The system is expected to maintain intensity as it makes landfall, then weaken
quickly to below tropical cyclone strength during the evening.
Steering is expected to continue to be south-southwest initially, then more
towards the west-southwest during the weekend as a mid-level ridge builds to
the south. It is then expected to maintain a general westward movement into
early next week, moving across central Northern Territory. In the longer term,
guidance indicates the low may move offshore of the Kimberley coast by mid next
week, with the possibility of the system re-intensifying.

There will be no further bulletins for this system unless it reintensifies.
