Some showers and possible storms through the Wide Bay. Showers and gusty storms through the northwest, central west and tropical interior. Some showers over the far southeast, mostly during the morning and early afternoon. Mostly fine in the northeastern tropics with just the slight chance of showers near the far north coast. A cool day through much of central and southeast districts due to cloud cover and moderate to fresh southeasterly winds extending north. Moderate to fresh southeast to northeasterly winds elsewhere.Fire Danger -  Very High over the tropical interior.Tuesday 4 NovemberThe coastal trough will weaken as it shifts north into the central coast though should still trigger some showers and possible storms through parts of central districts. Moisture will increase along the eastern tropics with showers developing south of about Cooktown. The inland trough will shift further west to extend from about Mount Isa to Thargomindah, with some showers and storms over the interior near and to its east. Mostly fine conditions are expected in the southeastern corner of the state with just the slight chance of showers.Wednesday 5 NovemberThe surface trough over the west of the state will likely trigger showers and storms over the interior east of about Boulia to Cunnamulla, including the tropical inland. A moist onshore flow will generate some showers over the southern tropical coast with the chance of some storms. The far southeast of the state will be fine apart from the chance of a late shower about the southern border ranges. Sunny conditions will persist in the far southwest. The far northeast tropical coast should remain mostly fine with just the slight chance of showers.Thursday 6 NovemberAn upper trough will move east over the southern interior of the state, while the surface trough will also shift a little further east. The combination of these features will likely trigger showers and storms from the northwest of the state into the southern and southeastern interior, with some of this activity possibly reaching the southeast coast late in the day. Some showers and thunderstorms are likely about the northeast tropical coast as another upper trough moves through the region. Fine and mostly sunny conditions are expected elsewhere.Friday until SundayInstability should generally decrease across much of the state during the outlook period as the upper levels of the atmosphere stabilise. Thunderstorms should become confined to the far northwest of the state on Saturday, whilst the next trough system may bring some showers and storms to the southern interior again on Sunday. Much of the remainder of the state should be fine with only the chance of showers about the northeast tropical coast. Hot conditions are likely to return to the southern inland during the outlook period.The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:30 pm EST Monday.Product IDQ10700
