Tropical Cyclone Alfred is expected to cross the south-east Queensland coast later this week, bringing significant wind, rain and coastal impacts.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred is set to make landfall in south-east Queensland on Thursday and Friday. So now's the time to get yourself ready for the storm.

Almost a metre of rain is forecast to fall over three days in parts of northern NSW as residents still devastated by the destructive 2022 floods brace for the state’s first tropical cyclone in more than three decades.

It will be the first time the south-east has been in the direct firing line of a tropical cyclone in several decades.

Acting mayor Donna Gates says tropical cyclone Alfred "might be the most significant system" for the Gold Coast since 1954.

Police and emergency services are doorknocking low lying areas along south-east Queensland's coastline, as the "area of interest" narrows for Tropical Cyclone Alfred's impending crossing.

Millions of residents along Australia’s east coast are on high alert for the arrival of Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

If you're in southeast Queensland, brace yourself. Tropical Cyclone Alfred is expected to cross the southeast Queensland coast late this Thursday as a Category 2 storm. The last tropical cyclone to make landfall in the region was ex-Tropical Cyclone Zoe in 1974,

As tropical Cyclone Alfred is expected to make landfall in Queensland later this week, councils in the state’s southeast have begun to reduce services including ferries and kerbside collection. The cyclone is currently approximately 560 kilometres off the east coast of the state,
