It looks like Alfred will hit our coast lines in one way or another. I’ll be monitoring the situation today and tomorrow. If the worst should happen and we are facing flooded roads and high winds Thursday/Friday I’ll contact those booked in and re arrange a safer more suitable time. I’d rather be safe than sorry and keeping nonessential travel down is key to keeping you safe and at home if possible. Lets remain calm, don’t panic but prepare and be safe🙏🏻
SUNDAY 11:30PM: Alfred is looking pretty solid tonight with a big convective plume on the southern half / side of the system. ALL DATA remains locked in ATM for a full SEQLD cyclone coastal crossing on Thursday - NENSW you’re on the forecast southern side of the system and likely to also be impacted hard.
We are just ticking over 18hrs non stop work which is typical with a system like this threatening us. A huge amount of our time is being directed into our subscribers forecasts, maps and emails ATM. Tonight alone high risk flood maps and text issued for SEQLD & NENSW, 1 Week rainfall maps and text for QLD & NSW, 1 month March rainfall & temp maps for QLD & NSW - will finish texts in the morning brain is starting to not brain haha. Then in the morning early we update all the daily rain and storm maps and text to 3 days ahead, update the cyclone track maps and text plus make a new video forecast - oh and do live radio interviews plus answer 100's of emails. Somewhere in there we eat and p**p on the run and try and tell our wives and kids that we love them! That is all while trying to keep well informed our 1.2million followers on facebook and near 500 thousand members in our facebook group. It is actually INSANE but we love our job, it's a tough gig and there is a lot of pressure and expectation. BRING IT ON! Sorry if we don't get to all your questions.
