What we know so far about Tropical Cyclone Alfred: when and where it will hit, school closures, category now and suburbs at risk

On Friday morning, meteorologists mapping the trajectory of Tropical Cyclone Alfred were predicting it would make landfall either Friday night or Saturday morning somewhere between Noosa and Coolangatta. The most recent tracking map suggested it could cross north of Brisbane.

Alfred’s slow progress to the mainland could prolong already severe conditions to the south of its projected path, particularly in parts of the Gold Coast and northern New South Wales.
