Tropical Cyclone Wati
At 4am today Tropical Cyclone Wati was near stationary approximately 500 km north-west of Mackay and was rated as a Category 3.
Over the previous 24 hours the cyclone had turned to the south and when it does begin to move again it is expected to continue south on a track that will roughly parallel the Queensland coast.
A large high in the Tasman Sea is expected to influence the path of the cyclone and together they are expected to produce heavy seas and gales off the central and southern Queensland coast.
