Tropical Cyclone Jasper is aiming towards Cairns but severe weather may be anywhere from Mackay to Cooktown in the coming days.,

We track the latest modelling from BoM, from the US and Europe as we start to fine tune the path of the storm – and the heaviest rain.

It looks as though the slow movement of Jasper will give more uncertainty for timing, intensity and rainfall totals this far out – so our update on Monday will hopefully be even more precise.

WeatherWatchTV will have updates each day this week for Cyclone Jasper until it has made landfall. We also have additional updates on X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/WeatherWatchNZ

🌀💨🛥️#CycloneJasper's worst winds are offshore for another day or two, but marine gales now developing in some parts of #Queensland.

⚠️Official government warnings from @BOM_Qld or here from https://t.co/qcgiZ3ZctJ
