No warnings for Queensland
Forecast issued at 4:15 pm EST on Thursday 13 July 2017.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a firm ridge along the east coast of Queensland with showers and fresh southeasterly winds likely along parts of the coast. The high will move slowly eastwards and weaken during the next few days with showers and winds decreasing along the central and tropical east coast as the ridge slackens in response. An upper trough and associated surface trough are likely to move across Queensland on Friday and Saturday, most likely moving off the southeast coast on Sunday. A drier airmass is expected to move over the interior of the state in the wake of the surface trough.
Forecast for the rest of Thursday
Mostly clear. Winds southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h becoming light in the evening.
Friday 14 July
Sunny. Winds east to southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h becoming light in the early afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between 15 and 18 with daytime temperatures reaching around 30.
