National Synoptic Situation
Well, it seems like Mother Nature is up to her usual tricks again. A trough is causing havoc from northwest Queensland all the way to the central and southern interior. This trough will be making its way east across southeastern Queensland, disrupting our sleep late tonight and into early Friday morning. Meanwhile, a high pressure system is sauntering across southern Australia, casually extending a ridge over our state in the aftermath of the troublesome trough. As if that wasn't enough, a low is planning to crash the party in the Tasman Sea tomorrow, sauntering east over the weekend. But wait, there's more! The high pressure system will be making its way to the Tasman Sea on Saturday, where it will leisurely move east over the next few days. And just when you thought things couldn't get any more exciting, a new trough is set to make an appearance over western, central, and southern Queensland on Sunday. This trough will do its best to steal the show as it moves east and flexes its muscles on Monday, before finally giving us a break and moving offshore on Tuesday. So, buckle up folks, it looks like we're in for a wild ride!
