The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts that the eye of category two Tropical Cyclone Alfred will hit Moreton Island, about 50 kilometers east of Brisbane, early on March 8, 2025.

Heavy rainfall bands are extending over southeast Queensland and northeast NSW coastal areas, with warnings of potentially dangerous flash flooding.

Residents from Cape Moreton to Yamba, including the Moreton Bay Islands, are advised to secure their properties and boats immediately.
