Maranoa and Warrego Forecast

Weather Situation

A trough and associated weak low pressure system will likely move west over Torres Strait during the remainder of today and into the northern Gulf of Carpentaria during Monday and Tuesday. The low may develop further through the week and will be monitored carefully. A deep, moist and unstable air mass into the trough/low will maintain a very high chance of showers and thunderstorms over northern Cape York Peninsula and Torres Strait through the forecast period. A ridge of high pressure will persist about much of the east coast through the week and result in some showers about the east coast and nearby inland, mostly about the east tropical and central coasts. Hot conditions will continue over western and southern parts of the state, particularly inland. Weak instability will combine with the heat to result in isolated gusty thunderstorms over parts of the southern inland through the forecast period.
