Tropical Cyclone #Jasper 🌀, stall and decay over the northeastern Queensland🇦🇺 coast has brought huge amounts of rain and floods to places like Cairns. The last 6 days in infrared #CycloneJasper

It blows my mind how much energy must be involved in lifting that much water up from the ocean into the clouds 🤔

Even on the Queensland page of the @ABC "NEWS" website, it has this...the last report was 11 hours ago.

Cyclone Jasper is hitting the coast of Far North Queensland.
It's currently a category one weather system, with a chance it could intensify to a category two. (It got up to cat 4 then tapered off I believe)
Landfall is expected later this afternoon (Australian Eastern Time - Queensland time).
Could be around Port Douglas - between Cairns and Cooktown.

#CycloneJasper will make landfall late on Wednesday (local time) between Hope Vale and Cairns, Queensland, #Australia.
The slow-moving cyclone will produce heavy rain in the vicinity of #Cairns, which will increase the risk of localized flash flooding overnight into Thursday.

#Jasper is now a Category 2 Tropical Cyclone with maximum winds of 110 km/h. Landfall expected tomorrow (Wednesday) north of Cairns. Strong winds will affect the coast overnight. #CycloneJasper

Woo! Look at the mountains repel #CycloneJasper away! This time yesterday it was a direct line into Cairns/Port Doug. Never fails.
I mean, it probably will fail some day, maybe even overnight. I don't even know if mountains can really repel cyclones. But anecdotally, that's absolutely what's happening.
But please Mr Jasper sir, can we still have a good soaking?

I had to stop and take one last photo of this excellent Dr Seuss tree down near the Mareeba hospital. Who knows what it will look like after tomorrow. #CycloneJasper

#CycloneJasper is steadily strengthening this morning east of Cape York Peninsula, #Australia 🇦🇺🌀
#Jasper is currently forecast to become a Category 2 Tropical Cyclone (on the Australian scale) and make landfall between Cooktown and Cairns on Wednesday afternoon.

Cyclones always meander around unpredictably, especially with the extra energy and altered currents from global warming. They never hit Cairns, and they never ever hit Mareeba.
This bugger, this Jasper, is like it's on rails. Slightly less powerful than they were thinking on Friday, but otherwise exactly what they thought. I'm not ready.
Still, it has all of today and some of tomorrow to skirt off south.

#CycloneJasper is forecast to reintensify as it approaches the northern coastline of Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺⚠️
Jasper will most likely make landfall somewhere between Cape Flattery and Cardwell. This animation of wind gusts using the latest ICON model run shows Jasper striking #Cairns on Wednesday:

Well then, predictions for Cyclone Jasper are getting more precise. Right now, modelling shows an almost direct hit with Cairns and Mareeba on Wednesday, category kind-of-scary.
I still expect it to divert, probably to the south, but that's based on what the last few did, not science. I am slightly more nervous than I was this morning.

Intensity: category 2, sustained winds near the centre of 100 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 140 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 55 kilometres of 16.9 degrees South, 153.7 degrees East , 880 kilometres east of #PortDouglas and 850 kilometres east of #Cairns .
Movement: southwest at 14 kilometres per hour .Tropical Cyclone Jasper, category 2, is moving in a general westwards direction. Jasper is forecast to maintain intensity during Monday and Tuesday. Jasper is forecast to intensify to a category 3 cyclone shortly before making landfall during Wednesday, most likely between #Cooktown and #Cardwell.
Hazards:
#DamagingWinds of 90 km/h are expected to develop along the Queensland coast between #Cooktown and #Ingham, including #Cairns from Tuesday. DAMAGING WINDS of 90 km/hr may extend as far south as #Townsville or as far north as #CapeMelville depending on Jasper's exact movement.
#HeavyRainfall is expected to develop along the coast from late Tuesday.
As the cyclone approaches the coast, #AbnormallyHighTides are possible and large waves are likely along the coast.
Recommended Action:
People between Cape Melville and Townsville, including Cairns and Cooktown, should consider what action they will need to take if the cyclone threat increases.

Just removed this cootie patootie from my face, where it landed after jumping off the garden umbrella I was trying to disassemble. I didn't even squeal. There are a few around this morning. I guess they know what's coming.
