TS Tiffany IR image NOAA
Tropical Cyclone Tiffany has formed north of Cairns, Australia and is rapidly deepening as it moves west at 7 knots with max winds currently at 50 knots. Conditions favor continued development until landfall around 0900 UTC 9 January with max winds about 60 knots.
Thereafter, Tiffany will weaken overland but will emerge over the Gulf of Carpentaria where it will re-strengthen and possibly reach hurricane intensity just prior to a 2nd landfall near Groote Eylandt in about 72 hours.
