STATE FORECAST
for the rest of Friday and Saturday
Scattered showers and thunderstorms over northern Cape York Peninsula. Isolated
showers along most of the east coast. Scattered showers and thunderstorms with
areas of rain over the central and southern interior contracting slowly
eastwards and weakening. Fine in the west. Moderating SE winds along the east
coast. Light to moderate SE to NE winds over the inland. 
EXTENDED OUTLOOK
Areas of rain and storms over the central and southern interior of the state are
expected to contract slowly eastwards during the weekend. This activity will
then clear into southern coastal areas and the Highlands area on Sunday as drier
SW winds spread across the south-east inland and then off the east coast Monday.
These winds will then shift to the SE on Monday as a change moves across the
south-east from NSW. This change will push the shower and storm activity
northwards into central coastal and inland areas of the state.   
Over northern areas of the state little change is expected into next week. A few
showers and storm swill persist over the Peninsula while elsewhere fine or
mostly fine conditions will continue in the humid air mass.
