Cyclone Trevor is heading for the Northern Territory, leaving a trail of destruction behind in Far North Queensland.

Trevor began ripping through the region late on Tuesday as a category three storm, dumping 300mm of rain and recording wind gusts of more than 133km/h.

It left Queensland as a category one, but will likely to power up again to a category four over the gulf this weekend. Weather bureau meteorologist Lauren Pattie said the storm was expected to move towards the Northern Territory on Saturday and Sunday.Cyclone Trevor lashed Far North Queensland earlier this week."It's a little to early to say how strong that system will be when it comes, but we are likely to see an increase in shower and storm activity for the southern part of Queensland," Ms Pattie said.

"At this stage we aren't expecting any particularly significant rainfall totals, but that area is quite dry at the moment, I'm sure any rainfall will be welcome," Ms Pattie said. Many roads and schools are closed across the cape and residents are reminded not to risk driving on flooded roads, and to be careful of wildlife.
