The first cyclone of the season has hit parts of North Queensland. Tropical cyclone Tiffany has made landfall with Queensland as it heads to the east coast of the Northern Territory. 

The cyclone is expected to lose power as it travels west, however severity will increase as it moves over warmer waters. 

Senior Meteorologist Dean Narramore says they are closely monitoring cyclone Tiffany. He says they expect heavy rainfall, damaging winds and a risk of flooding as the system progresses.
