Details of Tropical Cyclone Alfred 22U at 4:00 pm AEST:
Intensity: category 1, sustained winds near the centre of 75 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 100 kilometres per hour.
Location: within 45 kilometres of 14.3 degrees South, 153.1 degrees East , 400 kilometres east northeast of Willis Island and 840 kilometres east northeast of Cairns .
Movement: east at 16 kilometres per hour. Tropical Cyclone Alfred is strengthening as it moves eastwards in the Coral Sea, well offshore of the north Queensland coast.
During the week Alfred is expected to turn southeast and then south while continuing to strengthen. Considerable uncertainty exists in the track the system will take beyond that, but there is a risk it will move closer to the central Queensland coast later in the week.
