TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN
Issued at 4:44 pm EST on Monday 24 February 2025
At 4 pm AEST Monday, Tropical Cyclone Alfred (Category 2) with central pressure
989 hPa was located
over the Coral Sea
near latitude 14.0 south longitude 154.3 east, which is about 530 km east
northeast of Willis Island and 960 km northeast of Mackay.
The cyclone is slow moving.
Tropical Cyclone Alfred is strengthening as it moves slowly eastwards in the
Coral Sea, well offshore of the north Queensland coast.
On Tuesday, Alfred is forecast to turn southeast and then south while
continuing to intensify through to the middle of the week. There is high
confidence that Alfred will remain well off the Queensland coast until at least
late in the week. Beyond that, the track becomes highly uncertain and there is
a risk it will move closer to the central Queensland coast over the weekend.
The next Information Bulletin will be issued by 11:00 pm AEST Monday 24
February.
