A deep surface trough over the southern interior will drift slowly eastwards across the central and southeastern interior over the next few days. An upper trough will strengthen over southern inland Queensland on Monday, then shift into eastern districts on Tuesday. Forecast for the rest of Sunday A medium to high chance of showers and thunderstorms in a broad band from the northwest, through the central interior and down into the southern and southeastern interior. Fine in the far southwest, the far northern tropics and most of the east coast, with the slight chance of showers and thunderstorms elsewhere.

Mostly moderate northwest to southwest winds elsewhere, fresh and gusty at times. Fire Danger - Very high over much of western Queensland, increasing to Severe in the Maranoa and Warrego district. Tuesday 14 October The surface trough is expected to move offshore during the day as a high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight pushes dry, cooler air across the interior. Showers, rain areas and thunderstorms ahead of the trough are likely for the southern central coast and southeast. Possible isolated showers over the southern Downs during the afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are expected over the far north of state, with fine and mostly sunny conditions elsewhere.

The chance of some showers and storms over the far north of the state in a humid and unstable airmass. Thursday 16 October The high will shift slowly eastwards, maintaining the ridge through Queensland. This will keep the interior of the state fine, dry and mild.
