The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a warning that Tropical Low '22U' has a high chance of developing into a cyclone off the Queensland coast by Sunday. While the system is expected to remain well offshore, there is a moderate chance of it becoming a cyclone on Saturday and a high probability on Sunday. The low is forecast to move east or southeast in the northern Coral Sea. Rainfall is predicted for Cairns, Mackay, and Rockhampton, with thunderstorms possible in other parts of Queensland. The next cyclone in line for a name has been changed from 'Anthony' to 'Alfred' to avoid confusion with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
