A low pressure system off the coast of Fraser Island should move slowly to the southeast over the next few days and is likely to be located off the northern New South Wales coast by late Monday. An upper trough over the southeast Queensland is expected to contract off the southeast coast late today, whilst another more significant upper trough is likely to develop over Queensland early next week. Forecast for the rest of Saturday Cloudy southeast of about Fraser Island to Goondiwindi with rain areas, easing to showers during the evening. Isolated showers about the remainder of the southeast, extending west to the Maranoa. Fine and mostly clear elsewhere. Moderate to fresh south to southeasterly winds for most of the state, strong and gusty about the southern coasts. Sunday 24 August Isolated showers are expected east of line from about Rockhampton to Mungindi with more frequent, gusty showers about the exposed coast and adjacent inland south of Bundaberg. Possible isolated showers about the east coast of the Peninsula district. Fine and mostly sunny conditions elsewhere. Moderate to fresh south to southeasterly winds for most of the state, strong and gusty about the coast south of Sandy Cape.

An upper trough is expected to develop over Queensland during the day whilst the low pressure system off the southeast Queensland coast is likely to deepen.

Tuesday 26 August The high will continue to remain slow moving in the eastern Tasman Sea, whilst the upper trough over eastern Queensland is expected to intensify.
