Northerly winds will likely freshen through far southern Queensland waters this evening ahead of a trough. This trough and an associated south to southwesterly wind change will then likely extend through southern Queensland waters during early Friday morning. A new high pressure system will move into southeastern Australia during Friday and extend a firm ridge into southern Queensland waters in the wake of the trough. The high should then move slowly east towards the Tasman Sea during the weekend.
