Tropical Low
The tropical low now East of the Solomon Islands didn't deepen as much but close, now 1007hPa. Expected to reach about 980hPa by Tuesday evening and appears to be heading a little more East and may make Australian waters, that's the ACCESS model, the EC has not moved it that far East yet. This is why trying to guess where it will go more than 4 days ahead is a little pointless, these things are subject to so many factors.
National
High in Tasman Sea extends weak ridge across eastern Queensland, promoting settled conditions. Ridge persists over northern parts as high moves east. Trough moves east over the interior, leading to unsettled conditions. Slow-moving trough next week stretches from Gulf Country to Darling Downs. Trough sweeps east across southern Queensland from Wednesday as frontal system moves across southeastern states. Tropical low develops near Solomon Islands, may move into far northeastern Coral Sea next week, no direct impact expected. Invest 90P As of 06:00 UTC Oct 21, 2023: Location: 8.3°S 168.0°E Maximum Winds: 25 kt
State
High pressure in the Tasman Sea brings settled conditions to eastern Queensland. The ridge of high pressure will stay over northern parts of the state as the high moves east. A trough is causing unsettled conditions in the interior, becoming slow-moving next week. The trough will move east across southern Queensland as a frontal system passes through southeastern states. A strong high pressure ridge will build across Queensland towards the end of next week. A tropical low is developing near the Solomon Islands but is expected to remain offshore from the Queensland coast.
