A weak high pressure centre over the Coral Sea will extend a ridge into southern Queensland waters today. Northerly winds will increase on Monday ahead of a trough moving east over Queensland. This trough and an associated southwesterly wind change will most likely move through far southern waters late Monday night and then through Capricornia waters early Tuesday morning. A new high pressure system will then extend a ridge into southern Queensland in the wake of the trough.
