Australia -- Queensland Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Nov 9/14 - SNS -- The current forecast for the state of Queensland was released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

Weather Situation
A weak ridge of high pressure will extend along the east Queensland coast during the next few days. A slow moving surface trough through the west of the state will shift a little further east to extend from the northwest into the southeastern interior by Tuesday. A coastal trough will also shift north towards far southern Queensland waters late on Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Forecast for the rest of MondayFine and mostly sunny in the far southwest. Showers and thunderstorms developing over remaining parts southwest of a line from about Burketown to Roma to the southern border ranges. Some showers about the east tropical coast, mostly during the morning. Fine and mostly sunny elsewhere. A hot day over the southern inland. Moderate to fresh southeast to northeasterly winds through northern districts. Moderate to fresh and gusty south to southeasterly winds in the far southwest. Light to moderate north to northeasterly winds elsewhere.Fire Danger -  Very High over parts of the interior, particularly the northern and central interior.Tuesday 11 NovemberThe high pressure system will move east towards Tasmania. Onshore winds will lead to the slight chance of shower activity about the far north tropical coast. The surface trough over the interior will move a little further eastwards and combine with a weak upper level trough to generate some showers and storms from the northwest of the state into the central and southeastern interior, possibly getting to the southern coast late in the day as the coastal trough shifts north towards far southern waters. Fine and mostly sunny conditions will continue elsewhere with another hot day over the southern inland.Wednesday 12 NovemberThe coastal trough will most likely shift north through southern Queensland waters towards Fraser Island, generating some showers about the coast to its south. A surface trough will persist over the southern interior of the state, resulting in the slight chance of showers or thunderstorms developing over the Carnarvon ranges, the Maranoa and southeast inland. The high will move east into the Tasman Sea, extending a weak ridge onto the north tropical coast with just the slight chance of showers. Hot conditions will persist through the southern interior.Thursday 13 NovemberThe high in the Tasman Sea will shift further east, maintaining a weak ridge about the east coast with the just slight chance of showers about the north tropical coast in the onshore wind flow. A weak surface trough will likely extend through the southeastern interior, with some showers near the southeast coast and the slight chance of showers or thunderstorms over the southeast inland. Fine and mostly sunny conditions are expected elsewhere, with another hot day over the southern interior.Friday until SundayThe high in the Tasman Sea will weaken. A new high will shift slowly east over the Great Australian Bight from late Friday, extending a firm ridge into western Queensland. A trough will most likely enter the west of the state on Friday and shift east, possibly generating some showers and storms over the central and southern interior with its passage. Some uncertainty exists with the movement of this trough but there is some chance the shower or storm activity could reach the southern coast late on Friday or during Saturday. Hot northerly winds ahead of the trough will lead to enhanced fire dangers, particularly through southern districts. A coastal trough and cooler southerly wind change should then move north along the southern Queensland coast during Saturday, though again some uncertainty exists with the timing of this change.The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:30 pm EST Monday.Product IDQ10700
