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 extends from the northwest of the state into the southeastern interior. It will weaken from Thursday as a new trough moves east over central Australia. Hot conditions will affect much of the southern interior during the forecast period, and should spread into southeast parts late in the week as the new trough shifts east into the state.
Forecast for the rest of TuesdayThe 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 far southern Queensland waters, generating some showers about the Gold Coast. 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 some showers expected about the north tropical coast in the onshore wind flow. A weak surface trough will likely extend through the southeastern interior, with possible showers near the Gold Coast and the slight chance of showers or thunderstorms over the southeast inland and Carnarvon ranges. 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 some showers persisting 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 conditions are expected 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 southern 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. Some showers and storms are possible over the southern interior and southeast on Saturday though with little rainfall expected. Hot northerly winds ahead of the trough will lead to enhanced fire dangers, particularly through southern districts. The trough should then contract off the southern Queensland coast at some stage during Sunday with a cooler southerly change gradually extending north in its wake. Some showers may occur about the southeast of the state near and in the wake of the trough. Much of the remainder of the state should be fine and mostly sunny through the outlook period with cooler conditions spreading through the southwest.The next routine forecast will be issued at 4:30 pm EST Tuesday.Product IDQ10700
