Australia -- Queensland Weather Update

MELBOURNE - Nov 10/14 - 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 over the interior of the state will shift a little further east to extend from the northwest into the southeastern interior on Tuesday and Wednesday. A coastal trough will shift north towards far southern Queensland waters late on Tuesday or early Wednesday.
Forecast for the rest of MondayMostly clear in the far southwest. Showers and thunderstorms over remaining parts southwest of a line from about Burketown to Roma to the southern border ranges. Some light showers about the east tropical coast. Fine and mostly clear elsewhere. 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.Tuesday 11 NovemberThe slight chance of shower activity about the far north tropical coast. Some showers and thunderstorms from the northwest of the state into the central and southeastern interior, possibly reaching the southern coast late in the day. Fine and mostly sunny conditions elsewhere with another hot day over the southern inland. Moderate to fresh southeast to northeasterly winds through northern districts. Moderate to fresh and gusty southwest to southeasterly winds in the southwest and southern interior. Light to moderate north to northeasterly winds elsewhere.Fire Danger -  Very High over parts of the interior, particularly the eastern interior.Wednesday 12 NovemberA coastal trough will most likely shift north through southern Queensland waters towards Double Island Point, 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 14 NovemberThe high in the Tasman Sea will continue to move eastwards and maintain a weak ridge along the east coast with a slight chance of showers about the north tropical coast in the onshore flow. A trough is likely to enter the southwest of the state late in the day, generating some showers and thunderstorms about the southwest and parts of the southern interior. Fine and mostly sunny elsewhere. Northerly winds will lead to hot conditions about the southern interior and the southeast of the state, although sea breezes should moderate temperatures slightly on the immediate coastal fringe.Saturday until MondayThe high in the Tasman Sea will continue to weaken whilst a new high will shift slowly east over the Great Australian Bight over the weekend, extending a firm ridge into western Queensland. There is some uncertainty about the movement of the surface trough but it is most likely to move slowly eastwards through the interior during Saturday, reaching the southeast interior late in the day. Some showers and storms are likely over the southwest and southern interior on Saturday. Hot northerly winds ahead of the trough will lead to enhanced fire dangers, particularly through southern districts. A coastal trough should then move north along the southern Queensland coast late on Sunday but it is likely to remain hot in the southeast of the state, ahead of the change. The trough may then bring some showers to the southeast of the state on Monday. Much of the remainder of the state should be fine and mostly sunny through the outlook period with cooler conditions spreading to the southern interior on Sunday.The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:30 am EST Tuesday.Product IDQ10700
