Four Day Forecast | QLD Region and City Round-Up

National Synoptic Situation

National Temperature and Rainfall

Rain typically refers to steady, continuous precipitation that lasts for a longer period, sometimes hours or even days. It can vary in intensity, but it's usually more consistent and widespread.
Showers, on the other hand, are shorter bursts of rain, often intermittent. They can be heavy but usually don't last long. Showers are more sporadic and may be followed by dry periods or other types of weather, like sun or clouds.

State conditions

QLD:

Well, it seems like we've got quite the weather situation brewing up in northern Queensland. The monsoon trough is stretching its legs across Cape York Peninsula and doesn't seem to be in any rush to leave. There's talk of a potential tropical low forming near the northeast tropical coast, so be sure to keep an eye out for any stormy developments. Meanwhile, a weak ridge is hanging out over the east coast, just minding its own business. But don't let its laid-back attitude fool you, as it's expected to strengthen early next week. And let's not forget about the trough that might be making its way over the southeast of the state as well. With all this talk of storms and heatwaves, it's important to stay safe out there. Make sure you're prepared for any weather surprises that may come your way. And remember, when in doubt, it's always better to be safe than sorry. So buckle up and ride out this weather rollercoaster with caution!

NSW and ACT:

Well, brace yourselves, folks, because it looks like we're in for a rollercoaster of weather patterns. A high pressure system is currently lounging over the Tasman Sea, sending a ridge our way in northeastern New South Wales. Meanwhile, a coastal trough is putting on its disappearing act over the Mid-North Coast before a second trough decides to crash the party from the far west. This second trough is bringing along some friends - widespread showers and thunderstorms. So, if you happen to be out and about on Friday, don't forget your umbrella and rubber ducky. But wait, there's more! By Sunday, this second system will have made its way over to the northeast, but don't worry, it'll be too tired to cause too much trouble by then. Just remember, when it comes to storms and heatwaves, it's always better to be safe than sorry. So, stay indoors, stay hydrated, and stay safe out there, my friends.

VIC:

Well, it seems like we've got a little drama unfolding in the skies above. A low pressure trough is making its way from the north, causing quite a stir. It's expected to deepen overnight and then saunter over to the east of the State by Friday. Meanwhile, a high pressure system is getting cozy down south near the bight. It's planning to meander eastward over the weekend, eventually settling in the Tasman sea by Monday. Now, before you start dreaming of sunny skies and gentle breezes, let's not forget to mention the possibility of storms and heatwaves. It's important to stay safe and keep an eye on any weather warnings that may come your way. After all, it's better to be prepared than caught in the middle of a storm without an umbrella. Stay safe out there, friends!

SA:

Well, brace yourselves for some wild weather coming your way! A low pressure trough hanging out in the northeast of SA is just chillin' and not going anywhere fast. Meanwhile, a high pressure system is making its way across the waters south of WA, followed by a low pressure trough creeping in from the west next week. With all these weather systems doing their thing, there's a good chance we'll be experiencing some storms or heatwaves. So, remember to stay safe and prepared for whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at us!

WA:

Hold onto your hats, folks, it looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit moody up in northern WA. A low pressure trough is just hanging out up there, possibly inviting a weak low pressure centre to join the party over the Kimberley this weekend. So, stay safe out there and make sure to keep an eye on the forecast for any potential storms or heatwaves heading your way.

TAS:

Hold onto your hats, because it looks like Tasmania is in for a wild ride this weekend! A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea is throwing a ridge our way, followed by a cold front from the southwest on Thursday. This front will be crossing the state on Friday, bringing with it some stormy weather. But wait, there's more! A high building in the Bight on Friday will be ridging out over Tasmania on Saturday, and then passing to the south of the state on Sunday and Monday. So, buckle up and stay safe out there, folks! It's going to be a bumpy ride with potential storms and heatwaves headed our way.

NT:

Keep an eye out for a feeble low lazily meandering over the Gregory District, making its way towards the Kimberley. Meanwhile, a trough will be hanging around the Gregory and northern Barkly Districts, taking its sweet time to move on. The monsoon will start flexing its muscles, bringing showers and rain to the Top End and Carpentaria District over the weekend. Down south, a ridge will keep things toasty with those relentless easterly winds. So, buckle up and stay safe out there as these weather shenanigans unfold. Storms and heatwaves are on the horizon, so make sure you have your sunblock and umbrellas handy. Don't let Mother Nature catch you off guard!

NQ Rainfall 24 Accumulated (ACCESS G)

The trough can be seen extending out into the Coral Sea and for Sunday and Monday we could see the return of heavy rain systems where the trough cuts the coastline and warm humid air meets cool dry air from the South. The good news looking ahead (at this stage) there is a small break after that. But that pesky low could be returning to QLD.

Region Forecast: Well, looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit moody today. We've got some stormy weather on the horizon, so make sure to pack your umbrella and waterproof boots.

Overnight temperatures will drop to the low to mid 20s, so keep a light blanket handy. Daytime temperatures will reach the mid to high 20s, so you might want to break out those summer clothes.
