Fine and mostly sunny throughout the state.Friday 19 SeptemberThe high pressure system will remain slow moving over southeastern Australia, extending the ridge of high pressure through Queensland. An upper trough building over South Australia may be enough to produce some cloud and possible showers or storms over the far southwest of the state. An onshore flow over southeast parts will lead to possible showers for the coastal fringe. Fine and mostly sunny elsewhere.Saturday 20 SeptemberThe upper trough is likely to strengthen as it moves towards western Queensland, increasing the instability over southern and central inland areas, with some showers or thunderstorms possible for these areas. Isolated showers for coastal areas in the onshore flow south of the Central Coast. Fine and mostly sunny elsewhere.Sunday until TuesdayThe upper trough is likely to strengthen further over western Queensland on Sunday, but there is significant uncertainty with its movements from Monday.
