The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the forming storm over the Arafura Sea, between Australia and Indonesia, on March 15.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Tropical Cyclone Marcus developed off the coast of Australia’s Northern Territory along the Cobourg Peninsula coast in mid-March 2018. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the forming storm over the Arafura Sea, between Australia and Indonesia, on March 15.

By March 16 at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC), Tropical cyclone Marcus had maximum sustained winds near 46 mph (74 km/h). It was centered near 11.1 degrees south latitude and 131.9 degrees east longitude, about 102 nautical miles northeast of Darwin, Australia. Marcus was moving to the south-southwest at 7 mph (11 km/h).

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABM) expects heavy rain over the northwest Top End tonight and on Saturday. A storm tide/storm surge is expected between Milikapiti and Goulburn Island, including the Van Diemen Gulf as the cyclone’s center crosses the coast tonight. Tides are likely to rise significantly above the normal high tide, with damaging waves and dangerous flooding tonight and into Saturday morning.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology forecast calls for Marcus to move southwest, gradually turning to the west. The system will skirt the northwestern coast of Australia, moving near Darwin and Dundee Beach, then Kalumburu before moving into the southern Indian Ocean.
