National
Well, it looks like we've got a weak ridge of high pressure hanging around the east of the state for a little while. A trough and a feeble cloud band will make their way east across southern Queensland on Sunday and Monday, with the trough reaching the southeast by Monday and sticking around as it loses steam on Tuesday. Meanwhile, a new high will be making its way across southern Australia on Monday, eventually reaching the Tasman Sea by Tuesday to keep that ridge in place over the east. But don't get too comfortable, because come Wednesday that high will be on the move again. And just when you thought it was safe to go outside, a new trough may be heading our way from Thursday, finally buggering off by the following Saturday. So, grab your umbrellas and sunscreen!

Windy.com NEW ACCESS 4 Day Accumulated Rain and Synoptic
Sunday, 8th September
There may be a slight chance of showers in the eastern districts north of St Lawrence, with scattered showers possible north of Ingham and over northern Cape York Peninsula. The Cassowary Coast and Daintree areas might experience some widespread showers, so make sure to have your umbrella handy. There's also a slim chance of isolated showers and a thunderstorm in the southwest and southern interior, south of about Quilpie to Bollon. Everywhere else should expect a sunny day, unless you're south of Mackay where morning fog might make an appearance. Winds will be light to moderate, coming from the northeast to southeasterly direction, before switching to northwest to northeasterly in South East Queensland. In the far southwest of the state, there will be a southeast to southwesterly wind change that will extend across the southern interior in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be above average south of Longreach and inland in the far west, with the southern interior experiencing well above average temperatures. The rest of the state can expect temperatures to be near average. So, if you're planning on going outside, make sure to dress accordingly for the weather.
Monday, 9th September
Well, it seems like eastern districts north of Yeppoon and northern Cape York Peninsula will be experiencing some isolated to scattered showers. Meanwhile, southern and southeastern districts south of Gympie to Charleville can also expect some rain. Don't forget about the chance of isolated thunderstorms in southeast Queensland south of the Sunshine Coast later in the day. If you're in eastern districts south of Cardwell, be prepared for some possible morning fog. And watch out for those dry and gusty southeasterly winds in far western Queensland, as they may lead to high fire danger ratings. As for temperatures, they'll be above average south of Richmond, near average elsewhere, and in the far southwest. So, stay dry, stay safe, and enjoy the sunshine wherever you may be!
Tuesday, 10th September
Prepare yourselves for a smattering of rain in the eastern districts, gradually increasing to a haphazard distribution in the southeastern regions of Queensland below Hervey Bay and across the tip of the Cape York Peninsula. Expect a fluctuation in showers, ranging from scattered to widespread, along the North Tropical Coast. You might encounter a few isolated showers near the coast in the western Gulf Country District. Keep an eye out for the possibility of a thunderstorm in the southeastern parts of Queensland south of Gympie. The rest of the region will experience mostly sunny conditions, with a chance of morning fog in the eastern districts below Cardwell. Be cautious of dry and blustery southeasterly winds that could elevate the fire danger in the far western reaches of Queensland. Temperatures will be higher than usual inland south of Richmond, while remaining relatively consistent elsewhere. Time to break out the umbrellas and sunscreen - it's going to be an unpredictable day!
Wednesday, 11th September
Looks like some areas will be getting a bit wet today, especially in the eastern, southern, and central districts. Showers will be scattered over northern Cape York Peninsula, the North Tropical Coast, and in southeast Queensland and the southern interior east of Charleville. Don't forget your umbrella if you're in those areas! There's also a chance of some thunderstorms inland in southeast Queensland and the southern interior - so maybe don't plan that picnic just yet. As for the western Gulf Country District near the coast, you might want to keep an eye out for some isolated showers. But fear not, for the rest of us, it's mostly sunny. In terms of temperatures, they'll be above average inland south of Richmond, but near average everywhere else. So, grab your sunscreen and your raincoat, because it's going to be an interesting day out there!

Herbert and Lower Burdekin
Expect some clouds today, with a small possibility of rain up north and basically no chance anywhere else. Winds will be doing their thing, starting in the east and shifting to the northeast later on. Temperatures will be dropping overnight, so you might want to grab an extra blanket. Daytime temps will be in the 25 to 30 range, so dress accordingly and maybe pack an umbrella just in case.

Capricornia
Well, it seems like we're in for a bit of a mixed bag today. We've got some clouds hanging around, a potential foggy start to the day, and winds that can't make up their mind. They'll be light in the morning, then decide to pick up speed in the afternoon, only to calm down again in the evening. As for temperatures, it looks like we'll be playing a game of hide and seek with the mercury. Overnight, it'll dip down to a cool 9 to 14 degrees, but don't get too comfortable because it's going to climb right back up to a toasty 30 during the day. Mother Nature must be feeling indecisive today.
Central Highlands and Coalfields
Looks like Mother Nature is feeling indecisive today. We've got a clear sky with a side of fog up in the northeast.

Thunderstorms may be in the forecast, so hold onto your hats!

Expect light winds that will shift from north to northwesterly to southerly as the day progresses. Temperatures will range from 11 to 17 overnight, with a daytime high of around 30. Enjoy the weather while it lasts!
