National Synoptic Situation
Well, it seems we have a high over the Tasman Sea extending a ridge over most of the state, while a heat trough hangs out in the interior. This trough will deepen over the southern interior later today and then saunter east towards southeast Queensland on Monday and Tuesday. A new high in the Bight will extend a ridge into the southeast on Tuesday night, with the trough making its way back towards the southern interior midweek. Keep an eye out for another trough possibly making its way eastwards across the south of the state on Thursday and Friday. So, buckle up and enjoy the rollercoaster of weather coming our way!
