A cool day for Sunday as a Ridge along the East Coast continues to weaken over the next few days along with a deep Trough that is sitting over parts of Western and the Interior of Queensland. The trough is moving very slowly while bringing moisture from the tropics to the the South. It will also enhance rainfall within this area and also give us slightly cooler temperatures from the extensive cloud cover as can be seen by today’s forecast temperature of 23°C. For the rest of the week , temperatures should be around the 26°C. And maybe higher as the trough starts to move by the middle of the week.

The faithful old 4 day chart shows the deepening trough over Queensland and also the ridge (or High) over the Coastal areas that is weakening.



The WATL chart below shows the forecast amounts of rain over the next 8 days but also highlights the extent of cloud cover over the North of Australia.
