Moderate to fresh south to southeast winds.Wednesday 18 JuneThe upper trough and associated cloud band over the northern tropics should have cleared offshore.

Frosts are no longer expected as milder, more moist air spreads to most of the state.Saturday until MondayA new ridge of high pressure over Central Australia will push some drier air into western Queensland and the central interior, leaving those districts fine and sunny. Isolated showers over the southeast and central east districts on Saturday ahead of the surface trough, clearing by Sunday as the trough moves offshore. Mainly isolated showers in an onshore flow about the northeast coast. Frosts may return to the southern interior on Sunday morning.The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:30 pm EST Tuesday.Product IDQ10700
