Storms and tropical low special report
Storms again across multiple states, the NW WA, QLD, NSW and Victoria and even including Tasmania. To a small extent SA. The trough in QLD moves closer to the coast and mainly impacts the SEQ.
Meanwhile the tropical lows East of the Solomon Islands are switching strength, the low to the West is gaining in intensity and the low to the East is weakening.
National
Inland trough boosts rain activity, moving west later. East coast ridge stays. Southwest trough may move southeast next week.
State
A slow-moving trough is causing more rain and thunderstorms in southern and central interior. It will move west from Wednesday, leading to more storms in western Queensland. A high over the Tasman Sea will keep a ridge along the east coast throughout the week and weekend. Another trough may move into southwest Queensland over the weekend, potentially reaching the southeast early next week.
