Abnormally high tides are possible off the Kimberley coast between Kalumburu and Kuri Bay today and Tuesday, while in in some locations the tide may be close to the highest astronomical tide of the year.
Other than high tides, Kalumburu through to Kuri Bay have been cancelled from the areas affected alert.
Should the tropical low intense to a tropical cyclone, it will be named ‘Ilsa’.
The Weather Bureau’s Luke Huntington expects weather conditions to only get worse later in the week.
“From Wednesday, we expect it to become a severe cyclone, which means its likely to increase to a category three cyclone,” he said.
“It could be a category four crossing the coast between Broome and Port Helen on Thursday.”
