REMARKS:
A tropical low (06U) has developed in the Timor Sea, and is moving towards the
south. It has improved in structure in the past 24 hours, and may develop into
a tropical cyclone on Friday morning if it stays over water. There is some
uncertainty in position as the Darwin radar appears to be depicting a mid-level
circulation, which may ultimately be reflected at the surface if 06U continues
to develop. 

Dvorak assessment has been difficult, with cloud features not clear cut. At
times a small curved band has appeared with a wrap of up to 0.4, but ultimately
no DT has been assigned at this time. MET and PAT are 2.5 based on a D+ trend,
with FT/CI set to 2.5. No objective guidance is currently available. 

06U is expected to continue moving southwards tonight and on Friday. Depending
on proximity to coast, the system may spend enough time over water to develop
into a tropical cyclone. The environment is favourable, with low shear, SSTs
above 30C, and good upper support with outflow channels to the north and south.
As 06U is likely to be a small system, rapid development is possible and there
is a slight chance it could reach category 2 intensity prior to crossing. 

06U should move inland over northern Australia by Friday evening at the latest,
and would be expected to weaken quickly below tropical cyclone intensity.
However, the system may retain a coherent circulation a long way inland, which
could bring heavy rainfall and squally conditions to inland parts of WA or the
NT.
