Weather Situation
A large high is moving eastwards over southern Australia and will maintain a cold and dry air mass across most of Queensland over the next day or so. The high will extend over the Tasman Sea from Wednesday with winds turning onshore and returning moisture and cloud to eastern coastal parts during the middle to late days of the week. Warmer northerly winds will develop later this week, and a trough may push into the west of the state over the weekend. Shower and storm risk will increase in particular over southwest Queensland as the trough moves over the state over the weekend.
Forecast for the rest of Tuesday
Sunny. Winds south to southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h tending east to southeasterly in the middle of the day then becoming light in the late evening. Daytime maximum temperatures in the low to mid 20s.
