From AAP:
A massive weather system brewing off the Western Australian coast remains on track to make landfall but authorities say it’s unlikely to become a severe tropical cyclone.
Ex-tropical cyclone Lincoln is expected to re-form late on Friday, with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting it will slam into the coast near Carnarvon as a category 1 or 2 system the following day.
Meteorologist James Ashley said dangerous winds and heavy rainfall were likely in the northwest coastal area as Lincoln gathered strength and moved south:
The system is currently well to the north of the Onslow-Exmouth area and tracking west to southwest before turning on a more southerly trajectory later today.
The most likely path of the cyclone will take is to the west of Exmouth on Saturday morning, and then southwards towards the Gascoyne Coast later on Saturday, with a coastal crossing possible in the area around Coral Bay and Carnarvon in the late evening.
