the depression that was NNW if fiji is now N of fiji and is now 999 they have upgraded it changes of developing into a cyclone to good in the next 24 hrs they expected to move SE then S wonder if it will swing SW even and brush the east coast of NZ interesting

Both depressions are now 996Hpa north of fiji and south east of samoa. They are moving the "one" north of fiji south in 48 hrs and the one to the Se of samoa is moving SW and will continue to move it to the Sw where they have lowered the development of a cyclone to moderate due to shear.

Looking good for another cyclone to develop late next week off the Pilbara coast as the monsoon troughs start firing for the Coral/Timor Seas
