Tropical Cyclone Tiffany has weakened to a tropical low after making landfall in far north Queensland, but is expected to redevelop into a serious storm as it approaches the Top End. The storm has now weakened, but is expected to redevelop into a tropical cyclone over the Gulf of Carpentaria. In far north Queensland, the impact of the storm appeared to be limited by the “compact” system, Kennedy said, with “just a few trees down” in Cooktown. Tiffany is expected to bring destructive winds and heavy-to-intense rain to communities in far north Queensland before moving and intensifying as it moves towards the Northern Territory coast. Severe tropical cyclone coastal impact in the NT is possible on Wednesday or Thursday, the bureau says.
