Weather Situation
A high pressure system over central Australia will move slowly eastwards
across Queensland, extending a broad ridge across the interior with dry air and
fine conditions across the state.
Forecast for the rest of Monday
Fine and clear across the state. Light to moderate southwest to southeasterly
winds, fresh at times in the north.
Forecast for Tuesday
Fine and mostly sunny across the state, apart from isolated showers about the
northeastern coast. Early fog areas about the central and northern east coast
and adjacent inland. Light to moderate southeast to northeasterly winds, tending
northwest to southwesterly over southern areas. A cool morning over parts of the
interior with extensive areas of early frost expected in the southern and
southeast interior. A Very High Fire Danger for the Channel Country.
Forecast for Wednesday
A surface trough will move across the south of the state as an upper trough
moves east across southeastern Australia. The trough is likely to bring
increasing cloud and possible afternoon and evening showers to far southern
parts of the state. The remainder of the state should remain fine and mostly
sunny with only isolated showers about the far northeast tropical coast. Early
frost is a possibility over the southern and southeast interior but maximum
temperatures should be above average over most of the state.
Forecast for Thursday
The trough is expected to contract offshore with moderate to fresh southwest
to southeast winds developing across most of the state. Isolated showers about
the exposed southern coast and islands. Fine and mostly sunny elsewhere with
only isolated showers in the far northeast tropics. Early frosts are possible
about the southern interior. Maximum temperatures should fall several degrees
and be close to average for the time of year.
Forecast for Friday
A high pressure system is expected to move towards southeast Queensland,
maintaining stable and sunny conditions for most of the state. Isolated showers
about the far northeast of the state, and about exposed areas of the southeast
coast. Early frosts about the southeast and central interior.
Outlook for Saturday, Sunday and Monday
A region of high pressure will persist through central Australia and towards
southern Queensland. This should keep most of the state fine and mostly sunny
through the outlook period. Isolated showers are expected about parts of the
east coast as the winds turn onshore over the weekend. Minimum temperatures will
remain below average with early frosts persisting about the southern and central
interior.
The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:45 am EST
Tuesday.
