A Tropical LOW is located near the Solomon Islands and is being monitored by the Bureau Of Meteorology. It is expected to move south-west and deepen as it enters a reasonably favourable environment over the next couple of days.

Computer models indicate this system has a small chance of deepening into a Tropical Cyclone in the Eastern Coral Sea as it tracks to the south-west.

Early model forecasts show the system deepening over the next few days while moving sw and then weakening over the weekend and then adopting a track towards the coast next week - source - tropicaltidbits.com

On Saturday the system begins weakening again and its remnants may track to the west next week increasing shower activity across Eastern Queensland. The system will not approach the coast as a Tropical Cyclone and will pose no cyclonic threat to the coastline.
