Weather Situation
A high pressure system over southeastern Australia will shift slowly northwards during the weekend, extending a ridge into southern Queensland and along the east tropical coast. Onshore winds will lead to some showers about the east coast, mostly in the tropics. The ridge will maintain a dry airmass through the interior throughout the forecast period, with cold mornings and some early frosts likely during the weekend.
Forecast for the rest of SaturdayThe slight to medium chance of showers about the coast and nearby inland. Dry and cool over the interior, with early frosts over parts of the central, southern and southeastern inland. Moderate to fresh southeasterly winds about the east coast. Moderate southeast to northeasterly winds elsewhere.Sunday 5 JulyThe high centres and associated weak ridge will shift further northwards towards southern Queensland. The slight chance to medium chance of showers will persist about the east coast north of about Brisbane, increasing to a high chance about the north tropical coast. Fine and sunny conditions will persist through the interior. Moisture will start to increase through the interior, resulting in a warmer morning compared to Friday and Saturday with just the chance of possible early frost patches over the southern interior.Monday 6 JulyThe high centre over the Tasman Sea will weaken as a new high shifts east over southern Australia. Conditions will remain fine and mostly sunny over the interior and in the far southeast of the state, with early frost now just a chance on the Granite Belt.
