A coastal trough is moving northwards to lie near Fraser Island by this evening and then weakening.
Forecast for the rest of FridayStabilising conditions about the far southeast of the state with the moderate chance of some showers, mainly near the coast. A medium to high chance of showers and storms over western districts and the Maranoa and Warrego district, although fine and mostly sunny conditions are expected in the far southwest. A slight chance of some showers near the east tropical and central coasts.Fire Danger -  High to Very High across the southern interior and the Central Highlands and Coalfields district.Saturday 29 NovemberThe high centre over the western Tasman Sea will remain slow moving and strengthen slightly, maintaining a firm ridge along the east Queensland coast.
