W.A, can't miss out on all the fun, HERE COMES ERNIE !!!
Tropical Cyclone Ernie (Category 2) was located at 8:00 am AWST is 720 km southeast of Christmas Island [and 870 km north northwest of Exmouth] and moving south southwest at 12 kilometres per hour.
Tropical Cyclone Ernie has rapidly developed over open waters and will continue
to strengthen to category 3 intensity and track towards the south today. Over
the weekend development is less likely as the system moves into a less
favourable environment as the system starts moving towards the west-southwest
and should begin weakening.
Gales are not expected on Christmas Island or the WA mainland.
We will see K.J.

When they come from out west, rather than follow the coast , they are more likely to trouble the SW with either heaps of rain or gale force winds. Fingers crossed.
