Weather Situation
A high over southeastern Australia extends a ridge over Queensland. The high will move slowly eastwards while weakening and is expected to be situated over the central Tasman Sea by Thursday. A series of upper level troughs will affect southeastern Queensland over the next few days.
Forecast for the rest of SundayIsolated light showers possible about the far northeast coast. Isolated showers possible about the exposed southeast coast and islands this evening. Fine and clear elsewhere. Mostly light to moderate east to southeasterly winds.Monday 21 JulyIsolated showers about the southeast, with some scattered shower activity expected over the southern border ranges. Isolated showers should also affect parts of the tropical east coast. Fine, cool and dry conditions elsewhere. Widespread areas of morning frost over the interior. Mostly light to moderate east to southeasterly winds.Tuesday 22 JulyAn upper level trough will continue to cause isolated showers in the southeast, with some scattered showers about the southeastern border ranges and extending north along the coastal fringe to about Hervey Bay. This shower activity should decrease as the upper trough contracts offshore in the evening. The weakening ridge should maintain fine, cool and dry conditions across the remainder of Queensland, apart from isolated showers expected about parts of the tropical east coast in the onshore wind flow. Widespread frost will occur over parts of the central and southern interior.Wednesday 23 JulyThe high should move slowly eastwards across the Tasman Sea while weakening and relaxing the ridge along the east Queensland coast, this should keep fine and sunny conditions for the interior of Queensland. Isolated showers should occur about the east coast in an onshore wind flow, mostly about the tropics. Frosts to continue about parts of the interior.Thursday 24 JulyThe high over the Tasman Sea will continue to extend a weak ridge along the east Queensland coast which is likely to maintain the fine and sunny conditions for the interior of Queensland. Isolated showers are expected to occur about the east coast in the onshore wind flow, and also possibly develop during the afternoon about the southeast interior as a surface trough moves through from the west. Frosts are likely to continue about parts of the southeastern interior.Friday until SundayThe high should continue to move eastwards across the Tasman Sea while weakening. A trough system is expected to enter the far west on Friday and move eastwards contracting off the southern and central coast early on the weekend. Showers are therefore likely to continue over eastern districts in the onshore wind flow. A new high pressure system is expected to ridge across Queensland in the wake of the trough, bringing more stable conditions throughout most of the state.The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:30 am EST Monday.Product IDQ10700
