Former Tropical Cyclone Alfred continued to dump heavy rain across large parts of southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales (NSW) while moving inland, inundating roads and leaving tens of thousands of households without power as hundreds of schools remained shut, local media reported Monday.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred made landfall over Australia's east coast on Saturday evening and has weakened into a trough since crossing the coast. The system is still bringing heavy to locally intense rainfall, which will gradually ease today, said the BoM.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred's approach was coloured by slow, suspenseful movement. Here's how the weather event and emergency response unfolded.

A sodden day awaits southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales in the fallout of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, with alerts out for potential flooding.

Northern New South Wales will likely bear the brunt of the torrential rain and wild winds accompanying Tropical Cyclone Alfred, despite the system being expected to make landfall near Brisbane.

The slow-moving tropical storm, named Alfred, is on track to bring dangerous winds and flooding along the coast of Queensland and New South Wales, including Brisbane.

NSW is preparing for a "pretty nasty set of weather" in the upcoming week, as Tropical Cyclone Alfred tracks away from the Queensland coast.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued updated advice on Tropical Cyclone Alfred, warning those in the path of the entire system not to get complacent.

The first cyclone in 50 years to cross the southeast coast of Australia still carries risks of intense rainfall and flooding, stretching inland from the battered coastline.
