View the current warnings for Queensland
Forecast updated at 9:12 pm EST on Friday 29 September 2023.
Weather Situation
A weak trough over interior Queensland will drift westward over the weekend and may linger near the far southwest of the state. A broad high moving east from southeastern Australia into the Tasman Sea extends a firm ridge over most of the state. The high will drift slowly east over the weekend and early next week, maintaining the ridge. A significant trough moving east over southern Australia will approach the far southwest of the state early next week, increasing the temperatures and leading to gusty winds and elevated fire dangers about the interior and west.
