Fire Danger - Very High over much of the interior apart from the far west. Wednesday 19 November The new high will enter the Tasman Sea. The surface trough will remain slow moving from the northwest of the state to the southeastern interior, with hot conditions persisting to its east through the northern and central interior. An upper trough will combine with the surface feature to generate showers and storm over the southeast of the state, with some storms likely severe. A slight to medium chance of showers and storms extends through central parts of the state, the Maranoa, the far northwest and the tropical interior. An onshore wind flow will generate some showers near the east tropical coast. Fine and mostly sunny conditions are expected elsewhere. Thursday 20 November The high should move further east through the Tasman Sea. A surface trough will remain slow moving from the northwest down to the southern interior, while a new surface trough will approach the southwestern border late in the day. The upper trough will contract east into the Coral Sea, though the surface trough will still trigger showers and storms through the southeast interior and the northwest of the state. A slight chance of showers and storms will also persist through the Maranoa and central inland, while some showers will likely occur through the far northern tropics. Hot conditions are expected through western Queensland and the central interior. Friday 21 November The new trough should enter the southwest of the state, with hot to very hot conditions extending through western Queensland, the central interior and into the southeast inland. The trough will result in the slight chance of showers and storms developing from the northwest of the state through the central interior and into the southeast, with a higher chance through the southeast interior where the airmass is a little more moist. The onshore flow through the tropics will result in the slight chance of showers near the coast. _____________________________________________________ Forecast for the North Tropical Coast and Tablelands - Partly cloudy.
