Tropical Cyclone Tim, currently a category 1 system, is likely to weaken into a tropical low and move towards the northern Queensland coast over the weekend. Over the past 24 hours, Tim has weakened gradually, and was downgraded to a category 1 system yesterday afternoon. As the system has weakened, it has slowed significantly, currently moving southeast at 5km/h. Tim should begin to take a more southerly path today and weaken further, becoming a tropical low later this evening or early Sunday morning. During Sunday the system should then take a more southwesterly path and edge towards the QLD coast. Next week the system is looking more likely it will begin moving west- northwest and continue to gradually weaken while approaching the northern QLD coast. Due to the likelihood of the system being weak as it approaches, significant winds and large seas are less likely. However, the QLD coast between the North Tropical Coast and Central Coast are likely to see an increase in rain and showers from about late Monday onwards.
