Rain event special
More unsettled conditions ahead with isolated showers and trade wind showers along the NQ coast. Then more unsettled conditions to the West over the weekend.
National
Trough moves eastward, clears southern coast today, then Capricornia and Central Coast Friday. High extends ridge across state, another trough later this weekend aids shower activity. High moves into Tasman Sea, maintains ridge next week.
State
Eastern Queensland's trough will move eastward and clear off the southern coast today, followed by the Capricornia and Central Coast on Friday. A high over the Great Australian Bight will create a ridge across most of the state after the trough passes. A second trough may deepen over the interior during the upcoming weekend and early next week, resulting in increased shower and thunderstorm activity nearby. The high will then move into the Tasman Sea on Sunday and maintain a firm ridge over the eastern part of the state throughout next week.
