No warnings for Queensland
Forecast issued at 5:00 am EST on Sunday 21 October 2018.
Weather Situation
A slow moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a weakening ridge along the tropical east coast. A moist and unstable air mass is in place to the east of a surface trough over the southeast inland. This trough will generate showers and thunderstorms, particularly later today with the assistance of an upper level trough moving over the area. Some severe storms are possible about the southeast and southern central highlands. Although the moist and unstable air will remain over the east into next week, conditions will stabilise aloft as the upper trough moves offshore, with shower and thunderstorm activity becoming more isolated from Monday, and little chance of severe storms. Warm conditions will spread through the state from Monday.
Forecast for the rest of Sunday
