A tropical depression between Vanuatu and New Caledonia has formed a tropical cyclone (TC Tam) and is racing south-eastwards at 23kts, where it is expected to merge with another tropical low SW of New Caledonia. After a binary interaction between the two systems, the merged low transitions into a storm force sub-tropical low which tracks SW into the Northern Tasman.

We’ve got a very dynamic week ahead, anchored by very strong high pressure moving into the far-southern Tasman and acting as anvil for a deep low which is expected to form in the tropical South Pacific between New Caledonia and Vanuatu o/night into tomorrow before drifting SW into the Tasman as a deep, extra-tropical low pressure system. This system intensifies through the week and is now expected to generate a large E’ly quadrant swell for the Eastern Seaboard heading into and over the Easter weekend.
