Rain event special
The converging winds around the end of the trough continue to move North, as the trough didn't push over the coast rain was light in Townsville, the rain tends to burn off mid-morning so it won't be as heavy as it might have it been overnight for the FNQ coastline. It should ease later tonight for the FNQ. If you think Monday was Winter, you may want to look ahead a little to Tuesday or Wednesday next week, specially at night.
