Re: Cat 5 Tropical Cyclone Threatens Australia's Queensland Coast

Thankfully, the storm weakened to around 105kt -- category 3 -- before making landfall. It's just now crossing the coast, with the eye coming in south of Lockhart River. The banding to the storm's inner core is rather interesting -- it looks like there are three main bands, each likely associated with a radial wind maximum. Not all that often you get three such bands.

Since the storm came in further north than originally expected, the Weipa radar is better to capture the storm than is the Cairns radar: http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR182.loop.shtml
