Weather Outlook for Hervey Bay
While the Weather Bureau continues to warn of the potential for a tropical low pressure system to form off the coast of Queensland at 8pm this evening this system had still not formed.
If it does form it is expected to move southeast and develop into a tropical cyclone but computer models developed by the Bureau have been unable to conclusively indicate which direction the tropical cyclone would track.
At 2.38pm today the Bureau issued a Tropical Cyclone Outlook that indicated that the chances of the low pressure system developing into a Tropical Cyclone on Friday, Saturday or Sunday were low.
However the Bureau is warning of abnormally high tides and dangerous surf around Fraser Island and the Sunshine Coast together with gale force winds.
Currently (9.20pm) there are several bands of heavy rain showing on the radar around Hervey Bay.
Earlier today three Danish sailors were rescued from a yacht off the northern tip of Fraser Island.
