Summary[edit]

Description
English: Tropical Cyclone Owen formed in the Southern Pacific Ocean’s Coral Sea southwest of Papua New Guinea on December 1, 2018. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this true-color image as Owen was drifting southward and close to the Queensland, Australia coast on December 3, 2018.

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center reported that at 10:00 a.m. EST (1500 UTC) Tropical Cyclone Owen was located near 15.7 degrees south latitude and 155.8 degrees east longitude or about 579 miles east of Cairns, Australia. Owen is moving to the east-southeast and carried maximum sustained winds 57 mph (92.6 km/h).

The storm was sitting in an area of moderate to high vertical wind shear and tracking through an area of warm sea surface temperatures. It is forecast to move southeast then turn west. Owen is forecast to strengthen slightly before weakening as it turns west and should dissipate by December 5.
Date Taken on 3 December 2018
