As the Pilbara coast recovers from severe Tropical Cyclone Veronica, which caused flooding last week, another potential cyclone brewing in the Top End is threatening to worsen the situation.
A tropical low formed about 500 kilometres north north-east of Darwin yesterday and is forecast to move into waters off Western Australia’s Kimberley.
Forecasters have said that if the cyclone hits the Pilbara coast next week, the flooding will be “significant”.
