Weather Situation
A weak ridge extends across eastern Queensland from a high in the South Pacific
Ocean. Meanwhile, a surface trough and associated dry line lies over the west
of the state, stretching from the northwest to the southern interior. Another
high over the Bight moving eastwards will replace the existing one and extends
a new ridge. From Friday afternoon, a heat low embedded in a trough will
develop from the Northern Territory and linger about southwest Queensland.
