Looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit feisty today, folks! A brisk westerly airflow is causing some gusty showers to be flung over SA, Vic, Tas, and southeast NSW. Don't forget your umbrellas, unless you enjoy a spontaneous shower! And for those of you heading to the Alps or Tasmanian highlands, get ready for some snow - because who doesn't love a surprise snowball fight in May? Meanwhile, in southern Qld and central AUS, it's hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna. Thanks to some hot, dry winds being dragged east by the fronts, it's feeling like summer in places where it should still be feeling like autumn. So grab your sunscreen and a hat

National 4 Day Forecast
Windy.com NEW ACCESS 4 Day Accumulated Rain and Synoptic
Saturday: It's going to be sunnier and warmer than usual in most parts of the state, except for some scattered showers along the east coast north of Ingham. Expect some decent gusts blowing from the west to northwest in the south, and gentle to moderate breezes from the east to southeast in the north. So, basically, grab your sunscreen and hold onto your hats, folks!
Sunday: Most of the state will be basking in sunshine on Sunday, but don't be surprised if you run into a sprinkle or two on the east coast above Townsville. Watch out for some fog in the morning around Cairns to Hervey Bay and possibly near the southern Gulf coast. The temperatures will be unusually high in the interior south of Townsville and in the southeast, while being above average everywhere else. So, be prepared to sweat a little extra in those regions!
Monday: The sun's shining brightly across most of the state, just like a happy camper who forgot their sunscreen. There might be a few random showers on the east coast above Ingham, spreading out like someone trying to share their snacks. Down in southeast Queensland, it's windy enough to make you feel like you're in a hair commercial. The temperatures are cranking up higher than expected in the south, kind of like a desert mirage, with the rest of the areas above average too, as if someone turned up the thermostat statewide.
Tuesday: Most of the state will enjoy some sunshine today, but expect a few clouds and isolated showers on the east coast. Showers will become more scattered along the North Tropical Coast. Watch out for those fresh and gusty southeasterly winds stirring up trouble, especially for fire risks in the interior and western areas. It's a tale of two temperatures—above average in the interior and slightly below average in the southeast and southwest. Stay cool, but not too cool!

So, apparently there's this big high northeast of New Zealand that's going to keep a ridge over the eastern part of the state for a while. But hold on to your hats because a trough is sneaking into the far southwest today, making its way across the southern interior over the weekend, and finally reaching the southeast by Monday. Before you start planning your winter wardrobe, know that there will be warm temperatures hanging around, almost breaking records until early next week thanks to some northerly winds. The trough is expected to jet off into the ocean by Tuesday, making room for a new high to take over and bring cooler breezes from the southeast back to eastern Queensland. So get ready for some temperature rollercoaster!

Get ready for a day of weather whiplash: Mostly sunny skies with potential fog for a dramatic morning effect, a mere possibility of a shower near the coast, and negligible rain chances elsewhere – perfect for staying dry but on your toes.
