Good Afternoon Folks...... A few showers about this morning especially in the western suburbs which didnt hang around for too long, just leaving us with some cloud cover today and keeping it pleasantly cool but the showers did return this afternoon. Not much change for tomorrow although am hoping for a nice downpour to keep greening up those lawns and gardens. Currently its 25.5C and the humidity is 66%..........Below is your forecast for tomorrow. ____________________________________________________ This is the Official Forecast for Thursday 15th of May 2014 for Gladstone to Cooktown and west to Mt Isa. ____________________________________________________ Weather Situation A high in the Tasman Sea is expected to remain near stationary while slowly strengthening towards the weekend, maintaining a firm ridge over Queensland.
