lo has pillado justo metiendo su "ojo"!!!!

Ahora mismo tiene que estar un airecito en esa zona...que....
Pues justamente ha hecho su ojo al entrar en tierra, por lo que los vientos son menores, algo es algo

Impresionante imagen, Fernan. Otra más para la colección. Pues señores, no sólo no ha perdido fuerza en su golpeo, si no que está adquiriendo poderío en tierra. En estos momentos, Monica es un Huracán Categoría 2.

Muy atentos a su entrada en el Golfo de Carpentaria, ya que en esa zona la temperatura del agua del mar está excesivamente caliente y va a ser una gran fuente de energía para reactivarse.





TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 25
Issued by the Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
Issued at 8:03pm on Wednesday the 19th of April 2006

A CYCLONE WARNING is current for communities over Cape York Peninsula south of a
line from Mapoon to Cape Grenville and north of a line from Pormpuraaw to Cape
Melville.

A CYCLONE WATCH is current for Northern Territory coastal and island communities
between Groote Eylandt and Milingimbi including Elcho Island and Nhulunbuy.

At 7 pm EST, Severe Tropical Cyclone Monica, Category 3 (escala australiana), was centred over land
near latitude 13.3 south longitude 143.1 east, about 60 kilometres south-
southwest of Lockhart River, and moving west at around 15 km/hr. 

The VERY DESTRUCTIVE core of Monica with wind gusts to 180 km/hr is expected to
move across central Cape York Peninsula overnight and be in the general vicinity
of Aurukun on Thursday morning.

DESTRUCTIVE WINDS with gusts above 130 km/hr could occur north to Weipa and
south to Coen.     

Tropical Cyclone Monica is expected to continue moving in a general westerly
direction across the Gulf of Carpentaria during Thursday. Gales may develop
about the Northern Territory coast between Groote Eylandt and Milingimbi
including Elcho Island and Nhulunbuy during Friday.

Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Monica, Category 3, for 7 pm EST Wednesday.
Central Pressure   : 965 Hectopascals
Location of Centre : within 40 kilometres of
                     latitude 13.3 degrees south
                     longitude 143.1 degrees east
                     60 km south southwest of Lockhart River
Recent Movement    : west about 15 km/hr
Destructive winds  : out to 75 kilometres from the centre
Maximum wind gusts : 180 kilometres per hour

Very heavy flooding rain will occur over the Penisula tonight.
People living in areas likely to be affected by this flooding should continue to
take the appropriate measures and follow the advice given by authorities.     

Coastal residents between Weipa and Aurukun are specifically warned of the
dangerous storm tide as the cyclone crosses the west coast on Thursday morning.
The sea is likely to rise steadily up to a level well above the normal tide,
with damaging waves and flooding of some low-lying areas close to the shoreline.
People living in areas likely to be affected by this flooding should take
measures to protect their property as much as possible and be prepared to follow


instructions regarding evacuation of the area if advised to do so by the
authorities.

Sea levels on the east coast should no longer exceed the highest tide of the
year.

People in the path of this dangerous cyclone should stay calm and remain in a
secure shelter while the very destructive winds continue. Do not venture outside
if you find yourself in the eye of the cyclone - very destructive winds from a
different direction could resume at any time. Listen to the advice and follow
the directions of Police or State Emergency Service personnel.

The next warning will be issued by 11 pm Wednesday.

Imágenes Radar de Precipitación de la zona del Golfo de Carpentaria

Bueno compañeros, en breve nuestra amiga Mónica entrará en el Golfo de Carpentaria. Vamos a ver como evoluciona y esperemos que no cause muchos daños en su segundo golpeo contra tierra. El problema de este segundo golpeo, es que esa zona australiana está muchos más habitada que la del primer golpeo.

80 kts - 963 mb

Como podeis observar, su entrada en tierra le ha debilitado muy debilmente. Cuando Mónica cruce el Golfo y se adentre nuevamente en tierra, nuevamente será por escaso periodo de tiempo. Volverá a adentrarse en el Océano y después quién sabe a dónde irá. No descarto la posibilidad de un 3er golpeo en tierra.







Bueno, crucemos los dedos y a ver que ocurre.

En el Golfo de Carpentaria, la temperatura del agua es superior a los 30º.
