00:00Hi, Miriam at the Bureau with a Monday morning update on ex-tropical cyclone Alfred.

00:06Ex-tropical cyclone Alfred is no longer being analysed as a closed low-pressure system.

00:10We're no longer seeing the tightly rotating clockwise winds wrapping around the remnants

00:15of the cyclone.

00:16Instead, we're seeing an area of low pressure lying across southeast inland Queensland.

00:22On the Bureau's pressure charts, it's now being analysed as a low-pressure trough, indicated

00:26with a blue dashed line.

00:28However, this low-pressure trough is still playing a part in the significant severe weather

00:33event that's still ongoing across southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales.

00:39Winds wrapping around that low-pressure trough are combining with onshore flow.

00:43That is, flow that's moving from out over the ocean and pushing against the coast.

00:48Between the low-pressure trough and the onshore flow, we're continuing to see heavy rainfall,

00:53severe thunderstorms and significant flooding through much of southeast Queensland and northeast

00:57New South Wales.

00:59We'll bring you more information on that severe weather situation a little bit later today,

01:04but in the meantime you can find all of the latest forecasts and warnings via the Bureau's

01:07website or the BOM Weather app.
