Tropical Cyclone Alfred has intensified to a Category 3 system, producing wind gusts up to 185 km/h in the Coral Sea. Currently located approximately 930 km northeast of Mackay, Queensland, the cyclone is expected to remain offshore in the coming days. Meteorologists predict potential further intensification; however, the system is not anticipated to make landfall at this time. Residents in central and southeast Queensland are advised to stay informed about weather updates, as some scenarios suggest the cyclone could approach the coast as a weakened system over the weekend or next week. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.
