The surface and upper troughs should then shift east northeast, most likely contracting off the southern coast during Friday.

Showers and thunderstorms possible through much of the remainder of the state, particularly the southern interior and central interior. Mostly moderate northwest to northeasterly winds through northern and central parts. Moderate to fresh west to southwesterly winds over the south of the state.

There is a slight to medium chance of showers and storms extending eastwards through the remaining central interior and into the Capricornia late in the day. Mainly moderate northeast to northwest winds across the eastern districts, fresh at times about the southeast coast. Moderate to fresh southwest to southeast winds across the southern interior. Fire Danger - Very high to severe over the southern interior and Central West. Friday 19 December Some early morning showers and storms over the southern districts, contracting northwards during the day as a new high pressure system over southern Australia pushes drier air northwards. More active and widespread showers and thunderstorms from the northwest of the state, across the northern interior and down to the Capricornia and Wide Bay coasts. The northeast tropics should remain fine and mostly sunny. Saturday 20 December A broad upper trough should maintain instability across much of the state whilst a ridge should build along the southern coast from a high moving east over southeastern Australia.
