Cyclone Alfred will cross the South East Queensland coast later than previously estimated, according to the latest weather bureau estimate.

On Wednesday night the Bureau of Meteorology updated its estimate for when the cyclone would cross the coast.

The latest BoM modelling suggested that while Cyclone Alfred was still on track to make landfall on Friday, it could potentially cross the coast later in the day than previously indicated.
