Thursday 15 January Showers and thunderstorms in a broad band to the north and east of a line from about Camooweal to Roma to the Gold Coast, with storms becoming more numerous and about the central highlands, Capricornia and northern Wide Bay.

Mostly fine, humid and partly cloudy along much of the tropical east coast. Mostly moderate north to northwesterly winds over the east, moderate to fresh southeasterly winds over the west. Friday 16 January The northern section of the surface trough should remain over the Gulf Country and northern interior, while the southern part will tend to move slowly northwards into the Capricornia district. Showers and thunderstorms are again likely near and north of the trough in a very moist and unstable environment; some of these storms may produce locally heavy falls. Fine and mostly sunny over the southern districts except for the chance of some showers about the southeast coast in an onshore flow. Saturday 17 January Showers and storms are expected to remain active over the northern districts and southeast tropics as the surface trough remains stretched from the Gulf Country across to the Capricornia region.
