Residents along Queensland's northern coastline have been warned they have only a day to prepare for Tropical Cyclone Yasi.

The category three cyclone is moving closer to the coast from the Coral Sea and is expected to make landfall, likely between Innisfail and Proserpine, late tomorrow night.

Authorities are estimating the cyclone could drop up to a metre of rain in some areas.
