Weather Situation
A high pressure ridge lies across much of the state, extending from a high

days. A weak trough lies across the southeastern interior of Queensland. The
trough will weaken today. A deeper trough may move east across western and
interior Queensland from Friday, reaching southeastern and central Queensland
over the weekend. This trough is likely to drive shower and thunderstorm
activity as it moves eastwards.
