Queensland braces for another cyclone as Brisbane river threatens to flood

Queensland is under threat from more wild weather this weekend after weeks of rain and floods left parts of the state underwater.

There's a low pressure system threatening to intensify into a cyclone in the north, while high tides in Brisbane could cause flooding in the heart of the city.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has warned a tropical low forecast to hit the Gulf of Carpentaria this weekend could turn into a tropical cyclone next week.

The system is already predicted to dump up to 150mm of rain per day well into next week.

There is also a moderate chance it will intensify into a tropical cyclone, bringing even more wild conditions.

It is a dire forecast for the region, which was blasted by rain and floods just last month.

Many roads remain closed and even if the low pressure system moves towards the Northern Territory by Thursday, as currently predicted, it could do serious damage.

Heading south, Brisbane City Council has warned floods may be on the horizon.

Parts of the state are about to be hit with their Highest Astronomical Tide, which is the highest possible tide an area can experience under normal conditions.

The highest of high tides is forecast for the Gulf Country and much of Queensland's South East coast, including Burketown, Normanton and Kuramba.

Brisbane's bayside, riverside and low-lying areas are also in the firing line.

The Brisbane City Council has warned residents to brace for potential minor localised flooding caused by the high tides from Saturday to Wednesday.

Locals have been warned to take precautions, especially if their home is prone to flooding.

Queensland has been lashed with wild weather over the last month, from devastating floods in North Queensland to multiple cyclone threats.
