The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a powerful wind warning for the coast alongside the Machay, Townsville, and Capricornia areas.
A low stress system monitoring from the Solomon Islands is predicted to maneuver in the direction of Queensland and will turn out to be a tropical cyclone as early as Wednesday.
The Bureau expects the system will stay offshore even when it does develop right into a cyclone.
BoM meteorologist Jonathan How stated the system was anticipated to strategy Townsville and Mackay earlier than pulling a “90-degree turn” and heading southward off the coast on Friday and Saturday.
“At this stage we’re expecting it to be called ‘Freddie’,” he stated.

How stated the potential cyclone was anticipated to stay far sufficient offshore that no rain is predicted.
However, gale drive winds are more likely to sweep alongside the coast.
