VIDEO (Australia): Cyclone Alfred (Thursday) – Gales, rain, huge seas – the latest info

Cyclone Alfred remains a Category 2 tropical cyclone and is still expected move into Brisbane and surrounding regions tonight and through Friday.  The cyclone has a bit of a messy path as it’s basically in an area that allows it to stall off and on – meaning it may move westwards, then stop, even move in a circle for a time.

We break down wind, rain and waves – plus how Alfred’s remnants may affect Sydney and other large parts of NSW going into the start of next week.

This is a messy cyclone to be precise about – we do our best to break it all down.

We have another Cyclone Alfred special update on Friday morning Queensland time.

Brilliant observations. it’s a shame we can’t get this standard of weather reporting in Australia from the BOM

Thank you for your wonderful explanations, we have children in Brisbane so it’s helpful to understand the possibilities.

What is the likelihood waves will form onto the NZ West Coast?

Hi Ian, best chance looks to be end of next week if Alfred creates a new low pressure zone exiting the southern NSW coastline: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/marine/swell

Edit Fri AM: Looking less likely anything will reach NZ now.
