Residents are on cyclone watch as wild weather has already left streets flooded and highways gridlocked as concerned residents look to flee north Queensland in droves.

A tropical low approximately 215km east of Innisfail, south of Cairns, has triggered an urgent warning, with ferocious winds of up to 100km/h predicted on Tuesday afternoon.

Areas expected to hardest hit include coastal and island locations between Cape Flattery and Lucinda, including Port Douglas and Innisfail, according to the Cairns Post.

‘People in these areas should consider what action they will need to take if the cyclone threat increases,’ the Bureau of Meteorology said in a statement.

Motorists have been also been advised to avoid parking their cars in low-lying tidal areas and to not drive through floodwaters.

Rainfall of up to 150mm has also been predicted in some areas, with Bureau of Meteorology expert Jackson Browne revealing flash and river flooding is likely over the next 48 hours.

‘Soils and catchments are already saturated after weeks of rain on the north tropical coast,’ he said. ‘Flooding could extend as far south as Mackay as the low strengthens.’ 

Forecast tracking have predicted the cyclone could reach a dangerous Category 2 by Wednesday.

‘Gales are possible as the system reaches cyclone strength. Heavy rainfall is also likely,’ the forecast confirmed.

On Monday morning, commuters endured lengthy delays on the Captain Cook Highway driving south towards Cairns.

A number of trees fell across the Gillies Range Rd at Gadgarra in Queensland’s Tablelands Region, resulting in further delays after traffic was reduced to one lane. 

Meteorologist Michael Gray revealed the extreme weather in far north Queensland was due to the development of a monsoon trough as well as a reach of high pressure along the east coast.

‘Since 9am on Saturday, we have seen rainfall totals up around 100mm around the Proserpine River and over 50mm through large parts of an area from about Mackay up towards Cairns,’ he told the Courier Mail.

‘We will still see fairly significant rainfall (from Mackay to Cairns) that will continue at least to Wednesday… or possibly through to later in the week.’

Across the rest of the eastern states of Australia, the forecast for Monday is partly cloudy and mostly sunny, with a slight chance of a shower tonight in Brisbane.
