Weather Situation
A weak ridge of high pressure will persist over tropical east Queensland for the next few days. A trough is moving east across inland southern Queensland today, pushing interior heat into eastern Queensland. The trough may reach the southeast coast on Friday and become slow moving over central Queensland over the weekend. A trough in the northern Coral Sea may drift towards Cape York Peninsula late in the weekend. A Coral Sea trough and Tasman high will produce onshore winds and moisture along the tropical east coast next week, likely resulting in increased rainfall.
