It is expected to cross the mainland coast between Maroochydore and Caboolture this evening. Gales associated with the circulation have eased, however, synoptically enhanced gales with a large high pressure system to the south are occurring along the northern Byron coast and southern Gold Coast coastal waters. The morning ASCAT pass at 2303 UTC confirmed gales in this area. Position is based on radar imagery and surface observations with good confidence. Dvorak analysis: DT unable to be obtained. MET is 1.5 based on a 24 hour W trend PT is 1.0. FT is 1.0 with CI held at 1.5. Analysed intensity is set at 25 knots based primarily on nearby surface observations. Alfred is expected to move westward and over the mainland coast this evening, being steered by a high in the Tasman Sea. Alfred is expected to cause heavy rain areas over southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales during the weekend. This will be the final Technical Bulletin for Alfred.
