Forecast issued at 4:15 pm EST on Thursday 30 November 2023.
Weather Situation
A slack pressure gradient and a warm, unstable air mass remains over northern Queensland. A trough extends from the northwest across central Queensland and offshore of the southern Queensland coast, with a drier westerly air flow across southeast Queensland in its wake. The trough will move back west across the interior from Friday, resulting in the return of more humid and unstable conditions in the southeast. A high will move eastward across the Southern Ocean over the weekend and is expected to strengthen a ridge over most of Queensland from early next week, with a southeasterly wind change spreading north along the east coast from Monday. This is likely to result in a period of more settled weather for much of the state next week.

Mostly clear. Slight chance of a shower. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h becoming light in the evening.
