Forecast issued at 5:00 am EST on Thursday 17 August 2017.
Weather Situation
A slow moving upper level ridge will dominate the weather over the state through to Friday, resulting in fine, sunny and warm conditions for much of Queensland. A surface trough over the interior will move off the southern coast this evening. A strong high pressure system will shift slowly eastwards over southern Australia late this week and will extend a much cooler, dry air mass into the state in the wake of the trough, with early frosts returning to the southern and southeastern interior through the weekend.
