Two Ex-Tropical Cyclones are looming in Australia's Eastern Region; Fletcher over the western Cape York Peninsula and Edna over the Coral Sea well off the Queensland coast. Fletcher poses the most immediate threat due to its proximity to Australia's mainland. The system is expected to move back out over the southern Gulf of Carpentaria over the next 24 hours, where warm waters may cause it to briefly re-develop into a category one tropical cyclone. At midday EST a Cyclone Warning was current for coastal and Island communities between the Northern Territory/Queensland Border and Gilbert River Mouth, where gale force winds may develop tonight or early on Wednesday. The system is also accompanied by heavy rain. The 24 hours to 9am saw 211mm accumulate at the Peninsula's Southwell Station. Nearby, Kowanyama collected 172mm during the same period, their heaviest drop in two years and the second heaviest February total in the past decade. The heaviest falls over the next 12 hours will occur along the southern and eastern Gulf coast, south of about Weipa, where another 100-200mm is likely before 9am on Wednesday. Fletcher is expected to continue on a west-south westerly track over the next few days. This would take the system over Queensland's Gulf Country and the Northern Territory's Roper-McArthur districts, where it should weaken. Over the Coral Sea, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Edna, which was only briefly a cyclone on Saturday (February 1st), may also re-develop back into a category one system overnight or on Wednesday. Fortunately, it is moving in a southeasterly direction and should remain out of reach from Queensland's coast for at least the next few days. While Edna currently poses no threat to Australia's mainland, the monsoon trough will remain active over the northern Coral Sea during for the next few days. This will combine with warm seas in the region to maintain an elevated risk of tropical cyclone development until at least the end of the working week. If another tropical cyclone does form within the Australian region it will be named Gillian.
