Weather Situation

A ridge will persist over the east coast for several days. A high will linger in the Tasman Sea before moving east from Tuesday. A trough extends from northwest Queensland to the southern interior and will persist for several days. A cloud band is developing over southern and central Queensland, it will persist for a few days, and then from Wednesday it will contract east and weaken while the inland trough shifts slightly northeast. A low will move into the Tasman Sea on Tuesday and move southeast on Wednesday. A trough will move north along the southeast coast on Thursday as a high moves east across the Great Australian Bight. The coastal trough will continue travelling north on Friday and weaken as the high moves into the Tasman Sea. The inland trough may drift west from Friday, drawing rainfall back into the southwest of the state.
