Australia -- Queensland Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Dec 1/03 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of Queensland was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

IDQ1070001
WARNING SUMMARY
Nil. 
STATE FORECAST
for Tuesday
A few showers over eastern districts, more widespread along the tropical coast.
Scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms over central and western parts
of the state. Moderate southeast to northeast winds, fresh along the tropical
coast and over the inland in the morning. 
EXTENDED OUTLOOK
The Tasman Sea high will remain slow moving only to be replaced by another high
on Wednesday. This means that the firm ridge will be maintained along most of
the east coast until Friday when the ridge weakens and winds ease. The onshore
winds will continue to bring showers into eastern parts, chiefly along the
tropical coast but will ease on Friday. Showers will also be rather scattered
over the adjacent eastern interior today ahead of a weak upper trough. The
inland surface trough will remain near the southwest of the state over the next
few days then move into the central and southern interior on Friday as a cold
front links with the southern section of this trough. Showers and thunderstorms
are expected to continue over central and western parts of the state but spread
to the southeast on Friday.
