Forecast issued at 4:15 pm EST on Friday 20 May 2022.
Weather Situation
A slow-moving high west of Tasmania extends a ridge across most of the state. The high will drift slowly east during the week ahead, maintaining onshore flow. An upper level trough across central and southern Queensland will combine with the high to draw moisture well inland to enhance shower activity east of a trough over the southwestern interior on Friday and Saturday. A trough off the central Queensland coast is likely to approach the coast, enhancing coastal rainfall on Friday and Saturday, before moving further offshore again later in the weekend.
Forecast for the rest of Friday
Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of rain in the south, medium (40%) chance elsewhere. The chance of a thunderstorm with possible heavy falls. Winds southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h.
Saturday 21 May
