   Tropical Cyclone 14S was approaching Western Australia when the
   Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s
   Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the storm on January 21,
   2021.

   On January 22, at 0300 UTC (11:00 noon local time) the storm made
   landfall over the Pilbara coast, bringing with it winds of
   approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) and heavy rain. At landfall, Tropical
   Cyclone 14S moved inland on a southern tract and cyclone warnings were
   in effect for Sandfire, Bidyadanga, Broome, Telfer, and Beagle Bay.
   With 16-24 inches of rain expected along the initial track of the
   storm, flood watches are in effect for the West Kimberly Rivers, De
   Gray River, and Warburton District Rivers. The remnants of 14S are
   expected to carry rain across Australia as it tracks to the southeast
   over the next several days.

   The Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued the last advisory on Tropical
   Cyclone 14S at 0300 UTC on January 22 (10:00 p.m. January 21 EST). At
   that time, the storm was moving inland and showing substantial
   weakening. It was expected to dissipate within 24 hours.
