A surface trough lies through the far southwest of the state and is expected to remain slow moving over the interior until late in the week. A series of upper level troughs will affect western and southern Queensland during the forecast period, particularly late in the week. Forecast for the rest of Wednesday A slight to medium chance of showers and storms west of about Normanton to Winton to the Gold Coast. Some showers and possible late storms over the western Peninsula. Slight chance of showers about the north tropical coast. Fine and mostly clear over remaining central and southeast parts. Moderate south to southwesterly winds in the far southwest. Light to moderate southeast to northeasterly winds elsewhere. Thursday 25 December Cloud increasing through the west and southern interior with some patchy rain, showers and storms expected for western districts and the southern interior. A medium to high chance of showers and storms through the southeast inland, mostly during the afternoon and evening. Mostly fine about the east coast with just the slight chance of a shower. Some storms over the western Peninsula and Gulf Country. Moderate southwest to northwest winds in the west and southern interior, fresh at times in the west.

Friday 26 December The upper trough in the west of the state will shift a little further east, extending cloud from the northwest into the southeastern interior. A surface trough will persist through the southeastern interior, combining with the upper feature to lead to a medium to high chance of showers and storms over the Maranoa and southeast inland, with activity extending to the southern coast late in the day. Conditions should be mostly fine over the remaining east coast with just the slight chance of a shower in the weak onshore wind flow. A slight to medium chance of showers and storms will persist through the far northwestern tropics and remaining western districts. Saturday 27 December The upper trough will likely focus through the Maranoa and southeast, while a surface trough will likely persist over the southeastern interior.

Some locally heavy falls are possible with storms. A slight to medium chance of showers and storms will persist through remaining western parts of the state into the western Peninsula.
