Two cyclones forming over waters near Australia could bring heavy rain and winds to the Queensland coast, though only one is expected to make a potential landfall.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Maila is in the Solomon Sea, between the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
The Bureau of Meteorology says it will move towards north Queensland by the weekend.

As of about 4am, the cyclone was a category five storm, with sustained winds of 215km/hr near its centre.
"It may cross the Cape York Peninsula during the weekend or early next week," the Bureau's cyclone tracker says.
It's forecast to decline to at least a category three cyclone before then.

Although not registered on the Bureau's cyclone tracker, Weatherzone has reported Tropical Cyclone Vaianau off Fiji could also bring weather changes to Australia.
"Vaianu is expected to track south during the week, more or less making a beeline towards the North Island of New Zealand," Weatherzone said.
"While it will no longer be a tropical cyclone, it is likely to hit Auckland and nearby areas during the weekend as an "extratropical cyclone", a type of system which can pack as much strength as a category 2 or 3 cyclone in terms of its central pressure and wind speeds."

The storm is currently category three and is not expected to make landfall in Fiji or Vanuatu.
Meanwhile, a third storm, currently a tropical low, is forming in the Indian ocean off to the north-west of Western Australia and Fiji.
The Bureau rates it a moderate chance to attain cyclone status from mid-next week.
