Weather Situation

A trough about the Hunter coast is weakening as a high pressure system entering the southern Tasman Sea extends a ridge along the coast. Meanwhile, Tropical Cyclone Alfred (Category 1), currently over the southern Coral Sea, is forecast to track south before turning west towards southeastern Queensland later today and reintensify to category 2. Tropical Cyclone Alfred will continue westward through Wednesday and make landfall on Thursday in southeastern Queensland. This will bring strengthening easterly winds, reaching gale force winds along the far north coast from Wednesday, and large powerful east to northeasterly swells along the northern and central coast.
