National
Weak high pressure remains over eastern and far north QLD, with a trough in the interior. On Monday, as a cold front clears the southeast QLD coast, the trough deepens and shifts eastward. A high moving across southern states will bring a ridge of high pressure to most of QLD. Starting Tuesday, a southeasterly wind surge will spread north along the east coast. From Wednesday, an inland trough may re-establish in western QLD and potentially move eastward next week.
