Warning Summary at issue time
No warnings.
For the latest warning information please check the Bureau's
web site www.bom.gov.au/qld
Weather Situation
A large high pressure system south of the Great Australian Bight directs a
cool S to SE'ly airflow over much of Queensland. A surface trough is expected to
deepen off the southern Queensland coast during Monday.
Forecast for the rest of Sunday
Cloudy with areas of light rain, showers and drizzle over the southern
interior, central and southeast districts. Isolated showers over the far eastern
tropics. Fine in the far west and northwest. Cool to cold with light to moderate
SW to SE winds, freshening along the southern coast.
Forecast for Monday
Cloudy with scattered showers, morning drizzle areas over the southeast and
southern interior. Possible local thunder over the southeast. Isolated showers
over the southwest and central districts. Isolated showers over the far
northeast tropical coast. Fine over the remainder of the tropics and in the
northwest. Cool to cold with light to moderate SW to SE winds, fresh at times
along the southern coast.
Forecast for Tuesday
The high is expected to move over Tasmania and continue to direct a cool S to
SE'ly airstream over most of Queensland as the surface trough deepens into a low
pressure system and moves south to be off the New South Wales coast. The upper
level low is expected to continue moving slowly southeast over the southern
interior. Scattered showers and drizzle about the southeast and southern
interior. Isolated showers over the southwest and central interior due to
residual moisture and instability from the upper level low. Fine elsewhere apart
from possible isolated showers along the far northeast tropical coast. Remaining
cool during the day over most of the state, with a cold morning for the tropics.
Forecast for Wednesday
The upper level low is expected to move into the southeast Queensland
interior and deepen the low pressure system off the New South Wales coast. The
high is expected to move into the Tasman Sea. Cloudy with isolated showers and
drizzle over the southeast and southern interior due to the moist SE to SW'ly
airflow. Fine elsewhere apart from possible isolated showers along the far
northeast tropical coast. Remaining cool during the day over most of the state,
with a cold morning for the tropics and central interior.
Forecast for Thursday
The upper level low is expected to have weakened into a trough and should
move southeast off the east coast in the morning. A high over the Indian Ocean
will extend a ridge across central Australia and most of Queensland. The low
pressure system off the New South Wales is likely to move east over the Tasman
Sea. As a result, only morning drizzle is expected over the far southeastern
Darling Downs and Granite Belt. Fine elsewhere apart from possible isolated
showers along the far northeast tropical coast. Remaining cool during the day
over most of the state, with a cold morning for the tropics and central
interior.
Outlook for Friday, Saturday and Sunday
The high is expected to move east over Western and South Australia and
maintain the ridge across most of Queensland. Fine conditions across most of the
state, apart from very isolated showers along the far northeast tropical coast.
Isolated showers may develop off the far southern Queensland coast late Sunday
due to a S'ly wind change. Remaining cool over most of the state with some early
morning frosts returning to most of the interior, particularly through the
southern and central interior.
The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:45 am EST
Monday.
