  • description: We look in depth at Rusty's current structure. We take a look at the current steering flow and the expected steering flow that should have him drifting around aimlessly for a number of hours near the coast on Tuesday and Wednesday before deciding to make landfall. Now where he makes landfall and when he makes landfall is still quite tricky to predict. The model guidance is pretty intent on stalling the cyclone and intensifying it just off the coast. A reminder that if you lie East of the cyclone you will likely experience a storm surge. There are massive tides of over 9m over the next few days so the storm surge is likely to create some problems on the foreshore since the cyclone sticks around for so long. Rainfall is the final thing we discuss with 24 hour falls of over 300mm possible in places and cumulative falls of over 600mm possible from the event. That's more rain than most Pilbara locations get in a year. Tomorrow we will have two updates - a short morning one and a longer evening update. Thanks for watching.
