This timelapse uses false colour infrared imagery from JMA’s MTSAT geostationary satellite & radar data from the Australia BoM to track the path of the Tropical Cyclone Yasi as it forms and heads towards the Queensland Coast. It has passed directly over the Willis Island radar which allows the Eye to be clearly seen by the radar and satellite imagery, and has now formed into a category 5 storm. It is expected to make landfall around 10pm tonight AEST. For the latest satellite imagery please visit For the most current versions of this satellite imagery see http://www.theweatherchaser.com/
