Tropical Cyclone Wallace

Tropical Cyclone Wallace formed on April 6 2019 of the Northwest coast of Western Australia. After developing to a category 2 cyclone, TC Wallace now lies over open water well to the northwest of the Kimberley coast. Wallace will not directly impact the WA coast over the next few days.

Details of Tropical Cyclone Wallace at 8:00 am AWST 07-04-2019:

Tropical Cyclone Wallace is expected to continue its west southwest track and develop further over the next few days over open water, well off the WA coast.
