Weather Situation

A high moving across Tasman Sea extends a ridge over Queensland, promoting settled and dry conditions over central and southern Queensland. The high will continue to move eastwards, weakening the ridge over the next few days. A slow moving surface trough in the southwest of the state directs a warm northwesterly wind flow over southern parts of the state. The trough will begin shifting east from Thursday, returning instability to much of the interior, before shifting further east on Friday and Saturday.
