Weak high pressure extends over eastern and far north Queensland, with a trough through the interior. On Monday, the trough will deepen and move east across southern Queensland as a cold front clears offshore. A high moving across southern states will bring a ridge of high pressure over most of Queensland in the wake of the trough, with a southeasterly wind surge spreading north along the east coast from Tuesday. An inland trough will re-establish over western Queensland from Wednesday, then move eastward late in the week.
