Forecast issued at 5:00 am EST on Tuesday 10 December 2013.
Weather Situation
A high [1017 hPa] over the eastern Tasman Sea extends a weakening ridge along the east coast of Queensland. A surface trough lies from the northwest to the southern interior of the state, and will move towards the east today, before stalling over the central and southeast inland over the remainder of the week. A broad upper level trough lies over Central Australia and is expected to extend across Queensland's interior by the middle of the week, and this combined with increasing moisture to the east of the surface trough will lead to an unstable airmass over eastern Queensland.
Forecast for the rest of Tuesday
Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms during this afternoon and evening. Winds north to northwesterly 25 to 35 km/h tending west to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h in the middle of the day then becoming light in the evening. Daytime maximum temperatures 34 to 39.
Fire Danger - Very High
UV Alert from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 15 [Extreme]
