The Bureau of Meteorology says there is a high chance a low pressure system in the Coral Sea could develop into a cyclone.

abc.net.au/news/qld-bom-possible-cyclone-queensland-coast/101934334A low pressure system off Queensland's east coast could develop into a cyclone by mid-week, the Bureau of Meteorology has warned.

The system is currently in the Coral Sea near Vanuatu but has a "high chance" of developing further, senior forecaster Steve Hadley said. “It could even be a cyclone by Wednesday, so we’ve got a high chance on the tropical cyclone outlook on Wednesday and probably for Thursday as well,” he said. “It looks as though it's going to slow up as it moves towards the coast and it’s actually more likely to stay offshore then move ashore through the week.”Coastal areas can expect strong winds from Wednesday and possibly into the weekend.Mr Hadley said Brisbane was not expected to be affected.

“We’ll just be staying in the south-easterlies that are around the western periphery of the tropical cyclone," he said.
