TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 10
Issued at 1:48 pm EST on Monday 18 January 2021

Headline:
Kimi intensifies to category 2 as it moves south. Cyclone Watch declared to Bowen.

Areas Affected:
Warning Zone
Innisfail to Ayr, inluding Lucinda, Palm Island and Townsville

Watch Zone
Ayr to Bowen.

Cancelled Zone
Port Douglas to Innisfail.

Details of Tropical Cyclone Kimi at 1:00 pm AEST:
Intensity: Category 2, sustained winds near the centre of 95 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 130 kilometres per hour.

Location: within 20 kilometres of 17.5 degrees South 146.8 degrees East, estimated to be 130 kilometres east southeast of Cairns and 195 kilometres north of Townsville.

Movement: south southeast at 15 kilometres per hour.

Tropical cyclone Kimi has intensified to a category 2 cyclone. It is currently moving south-southeast and is likely to continue this movement through tonight, but is now expected to slow and stall off the coast between Hinchinbook Island and Townsville on Tuesday while beginning to weaken.

However, considerable uncertainty remains with the future movement of the system, and a category 2 coastal crossing between Hinchinbrook Island and Townsville tonight or on Tuesday REMAINS POSSIBLE.
