Australia -- Queensland Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Jul 27/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of Queensland was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
Slow moving high pressure centres over New South Wales and central Australia will maintain a ridge and dry airmass through much of Queensland during the next few days. Daytime temperatures will remain above average through southern, central and western districts through into late in the week, while cool mornings will result in early frosts through the central, southern and southeast inland.
Forecast for the rest of SundayIsolated showers over the northeastern tropics, mostly near the coast. Fine and mostly clear elsewhere. Moderate to fresh south to southeasterly winds about the east coast, strong at times in the far north. Light winds through the southern interior. Moderate southeast to northeast winds elsewhere.Monday 28 JulyIsolated to scattered showers about the north tropical coast. Fine and sunny elsewhere apart from some morning fog patches about eastern districts, mostly north of Gladstone. A cool to cold morning through the southern and southeast inland with some early frosts. Daytime temperatures will remain generally above average away from the tropics. Moderate to fresh east to southeasterly winds about the tropics and central coast, strong at times near the coast north of Cooktown. Light winds elsewhere.Tuesday 29 JulyA new high centre will shift east into central Australia, maintaining a weak ridge through southern Queensland and along the north tropical coast. A few showers should continue in the onshore flow about the tropical northeast coast. Fine and mostly sunny conditions are expected elsewhere, with another cool morning and some early frosts likely through the southern, central and southeast inland. Daytime temperatures will remain above average away from the tropics.Wednesday 30 JulyThe high will shift east towards New South Wales, maintaining a weak ridge along the north tropical coast. Much of the state will remain fine with only isolated showers expected about the east tropical coast and also possibly developing near the central coast. Early frosts will continue through the southern and southeastern inland, while daytime temperatures will remain above average away from the tropics.Thursday 31 JulyA trough will most likely enter southwestern Queensland on Thursday and shift east into the southern interior. No rainfall is expected with the passage of the trough due a dry airmass persisting. Daytime temperatures will warm further through western and southern districts in the northwesterly winds ahead of the trough, though early frosts will continue through the southern and southeast inland. An onshore wind flow should result in isolated shower activity about the east coast near and north of Fraser Island.Friday until SundayThe trough should contract off the southern coast during Friday. Warm northwesterly winds ahead of the trough will tend cooler southwesterly in its wake. A new, strong high will then move east over southern Australia, extending a firm ridge through much of Queensland in the wake of the trough. Isolated showers will occur over the east tropical coast and eventually develop along the remaining east coast and adjacent inland late from late Saturday as winds tend more moist onshore. The interior should remain fine and mostly sunny.The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:30 am EST Monday.Product IDQ10700
